Srimathe ramanujaya Namaha

Sri Vachana bhooshanam is a masterpiece of Swamy pillai lokacharya.  That is 
clearly seen by the importance given by Swamy manavala mAmunigal in his upadesa 
ratina mAlai to this very prabhandam (only prabhandam).  This work is split 
into 6 or 9 prakaranams.

Classification into 6 prakaranas

1.  purushakAra vaibhavancha 2.  sAdhanasya gowravam 3. tattadhikArikrithyam 4. 
asya satgurupasEvanam 5. haridhayAmahaidukeem
6. gurOrupAyathAnchayO:
vachanabhooshanE vadha jagath gurum tamAsrayE II

Adiyen will elaborate on this in the next mail.

  Dear Smt Vedavalli,

  Like several other works of pUrvAchAryas, Sri Vachana Bhsuhanam also 
  conveys that the Lord is the means and goal and He delivers out of 
  His krpA. Keeping faith in an AchArya is as good as believing in such 
  great Lord who is the means. Hence the AchArya himself is the means 
  out of his concern for the followers!

  It is difficult to get the conviction unless His blessings are there. 
  Also the religion preached is selfless. Consumerism, casteism and 
  orientation toward rituals prevent adherence. Here, your exposure to 
  Bhagavadgita As It Is (perhaps, ISKCON) associated with aptitude to 
  analyze, may help.

  > where we can get the work?

  I dont know whether Patricia Mumme wrote a treatise on it. if she 
  wrote, that will be a good one to read. 

  Any commentary you read, it is better to follow the following 
  approach:

  Correlation of each sUtra with preceding and succeeding ones.

  Please let me know once you secure a copy.
