Even I got the same feed back from a friend of mine from Chennai.

But I am yet to read the book under review.

As far as SrI NyAya-sidhAnjanam is concerned, it is the prakaraNA

grantham for VisishtAdvaita SidhdAnta clearly showing the

VisishtAdvaita pramEyam. As far as Tamil translations with notes

are concerned, nyAya-sidhAnjana-jada-dravya-parichchEdam has

been published by SrImath N.S.RAmAnujaThAthAchArya swAmy

(Tirumalai Tirupathi DevasthAnam Publication) and the

remaining five parichchEdams (jIva, Iswara, nitya-vibhUthi,

budhdi and adravya) have been tranlsated and published

by SrImath VIrApuram Venkata DIkshithar. These are wonderful

translations. But without undergoing traditional kAlakshepam,

this grantam (including these translations) is very difficult

to be comprehended. Also, the self-study of grantams like

SrI BhAshya, GitA-BhAshya, nyAya-parisudhi, NyAya-sidhAnjana

etc must not be done. These grantams are to be learnt atleast

after some basic training in Samskrutha

vyAkarana etc., and then in VEda and that too with the proper

guidance of a SrI VaishNava AachArya in kAlakshepam style. Otherwise

it may lead to jgnyAna which is not accurate.

 

Thanks & Regards

M.S.HARI RAmAnuja DAsan.
