SrI:
 
Dear Students of VaishNava Aagamams :
 
Among the two VaishNavite Aagmams ,
PaancharAthram is better known than
VikhAnasam as the chosen mode of worship
of BhagavAn .
 
Hailing from ThiruviNNagaram ( Oppiliappan
Sannidhi) , adiyEn always wanted to know more
about VaikhAnasa Aagamam , its prtotocols in
the method of worship of Sriman Narayanan .

Aagamam authored by Saastra ChUDAmaNi ,
Professor S.K. Ramachandra Rao and released
by the Kalpatharu Research Academy of
Bangalore in 1990 . adiyEn will use it extensively
to summaraize the highlights of VaikhAnasa
Aagamam .
 
My Thanks are to Srivatsan for his thoughtfulness
to present this monograph to gain a better
understanding of the literature , Philosophy
and the rituals of VaikhAnasa Aagama .
