Subject: Emperumanr Darsanam Sri Ramanuja Vani Jaya Sriman Narayana
"Sri Ramanuja Vani" this is a quarterly
journal of Sri Ramanuja Vedhanta Centre.The Editor is Dr.J
Parthasarathy and the office is at 10 South Mada Street,Triplicane,Chennai
600005.Phone Chennai 844 1806.Rate of subscription Annual Rs
20/ Life200/.
The magazine is in English and comesout
with a number of articles by learned and knowledgeable
scholors,vidwans profs etc.We were reading the present issue
Vols,24&25 and at page 5 there was a book review on the book
titled " Tengaliyum and Vadagaliyum" Let me reproduce para
two of the review of the book for the benefit of my dear
Srivaishnavites.
"The present publication from his pen touches the
rather sensitivefield of Tengalai and Vadagalai on which passions are easily
roused and mind gets befuddled(-dictionary meaning of this word
=confuse-this is mine) owing to long-cultivated attachments.It is sad chapter of
our history that what started as differences of itrepretations of texts got
hardened into social splits and two seperate sects,often at logger heads
with each other at different levels,came into being.
The age of Western materialism is tending to engulf
all our ancient religious institutions and even over throw the foundations of
our beleifs.In this alarming situation,it is prime necessity for memebrs ofthe
two sects to understand with love and sympath theological frameworks of their
two sects with their essentials unities and their differences in certain view
points within the overall set up of doctrines of the religion.Such a sypathetic
understanding,cultivated with love reaching out to each other as a common
bond will surely prove effective in spreading the Sri Vaishnava spiritual
visions appeal to more and more populations.
We find a dispassionate expostion in this book of
the agreements and the differences of the two sects on Tatva,Hita and
Purushavtha(Moksha)........"
Every one agrees to the above but act
entirly to the contrary.
Let Sriyapathi Lord Narayana take
us in the right direction of following Emperumanar
Darsanam.
Jaya Sriman Narayana
