Following the moderator's instructions I am posting a brief

self-introduction:

 

My name is Sudarshan K. Madabushi. I live and work in Kuwait. I have

strong family roots in Tirupati through my father's side; and through

the maternal side, in Kanchipuram. It is a matter of secret but

pardonable personal pride for me that my parentage can be traced to

the sacred soil of 2 prime SriVaishnava 'kshEtram-s'.

 

Following my family tradition, I consider myself fortunate to belong

to the " sishya-paramparai " of the Ahobila Muttam. The present Jeer

Swami was kind enough to embrace me into the Ahobila Muttam fold

through 'samAshrayanam' which he commanded me to undergo. Except for

that Act of Grace which Azhagiyasingar in all kindness bestowed upon

me (without a moment's thought to whether I was deserving of it or

not) I'm sure I possess no other " lakshana " befitting a Muttam

'sishya'.

 

I have an abiding layman's interest in the colourful history,

literature, personalites and living traditions of all schools of

Vedantic thought and practice in India. It is my firm belief that all

great 'achAryA-s' of our homeland, each in his own unique way, had

something truly very ennobling to say about and contributed something

very valuable to our understanding of what is truly un-understandable

..... 'sarvEshwaran', the Almighty One.

 

The life and works of Ramanuja and Vedanta Desika, of course, are a

matter of special interest and unfading inspiration in my life.

 

I wish to learn more from learned members of this group... young, old

and not-so-old alike. Many thanks to the moderators for enrolling me

as a r.

 

Regards,

 

Sudarshan
