Release of Ramanuja Darshana and Yateendra Mata Deepika in KANNADA

[Guest guest]

SrI:

 

Dear AasthikAs :

 

I am pleased to forward the announcement of the release of

two important books by one of the Doyen among Scholars ,

Dr. N.S.Ananatha Rangachar Swamy of Bangalore .

 

The First one is an original monograph about Bhagavath

RaamAnuja Darsanam . adiyEn gets often inquiries from

bright young VaishNavAs , who want to get an authoritative

book on the doctrines of our illustrious darsanam. This monograph

by Dr.NSA Swamy on " RaamAnuja Darsanam " appears to address

the information needs of youngsters and older VaishNavites , who have

not been exposed much to the noble darsanam of ours but are thirsting to

know . With so many youngsters growing up far away from their moorings

and unable to learn about our SampradhAyam thru traditional

KaalkshEpam routes from AchAryAs , monographs like this one

and its companion release on " Yatheendhra Matha Dheepika"

are gifts from the dhivya Dampathis .

 

As one who is not able to read or ubderstand Kannada , my only wish

is that these books get translated into English by a bilingual native

from Karnataka so that the outreach of these books will be universal .

 

Our prayers are to the Dhivya Dampathis to bless Dr.NSA SWamy

to continue with his many noble kaimkaryams on behalf of

the Sri VaishNava Community of the world .
