Through the kindness of the AchAryas, and on this auspicious ocassion of 
thiruvAdipooram (AndAl's Holy Appearance Day), I am blessed to announce the 
release of Volume I, Issue III of Ramanuja Darshanam, the official magazine of 
Vedics, Inc. This special issue focuses on AndAl, the only woman among the "10 
+ 2" AzhvArs, who is recognized to be an incarnation of Bhu dEvi, the Goddess 
of the Earth. 

AndAl's unique mystical experience as the bride of the Lord is discussed in 
great detail in this issue, through a study of the inner meaning of her famous 
thiru-p-pAvai (sacred vow), as well as in the lesser known but all the more 
mystical nAcciyAr thirumOzhi (the sacred works of the Lady). The magazine also 
looks at Sri Ramanuja's experience of AndAl as his own younger sister (although 
she lived many centuries before him), and how through this mystical connection 
he came to be known as Thiru-p-pAvai Jeeyar. In addition, the magazine looks at 
the life of the renowned foster father of AndAl, who is regarded to be an 
AzhvAr in his own right, PeriyAzhvAr, and his own mystical love for the Lord in 
which he saw himself as His Mother and Father.

Ramanuja Darshanam is available online now at www.vedics.net, and will soon be 
made available in paper form at temples and religious gatherings throughout 
India and the USA.

On behalf of the volunteers of Ramanuja Darshanam magazine,
