1. Editorial

Dear BhakthAs:
We place in your hands the fourth issue of Volume 3, which houses
three articles.

Sri M.S.Hari's article touches on one of the four MahA VAkyams of
the Four vEdhAs, "Tath Thvam asi". This MahA VAkhyam is from
ChAndhOgya Upanishid, which belongs to SAma vEdham. It is
important for us as Sri VaishNavites to know the interpretation of
these MahA VAkyams according to the Bhagavath RAmAnuja darsanam.
We are hoping that we will have to opportunity to cover the other
three MahA VAkyams in future issues :
(1) Praj~nAm BrahmA : AitrEya Upanishad, Rig vEdham (2) aham
BrahmAsmi: BrihadhAraNya Upanishad, Sukla Yajur vEdham and
TaittirIya Upanishad of KrishNa Yajur vEdham (3) ayamAthma BrahmA
: MAndUkya Upanishad, Atharva vEdham.

The second article is by Dr.N.S.AnatharangAchAr Swamy on the
structure and content of MahA Bharatham. This ithihAsam contains
the most sacred Bhagavath GitA and Sri VishNu SahasranAmAm besides
many passages on Dharma SAsthram. An IthihAsam like MahA BhAratham
is used to explain the intricate Vedic manthrams and hence Its
PrAmANyam is Svathasiddham as indicated by the author of
YathIndhra Matha DhIpikA:"VedhOpabruhmaNa rUpEthihAsa purANAyOrapi
pramANyam svathasiddham"

Therefore it is important for us to have an uderstanding of the
structure and content of MahA BhAratham. The third article is by
adiyEn; with this final posting on PradhAna Sathakam, adiyEn
bows at the sacred feet of Swamy Desikan for blessing us with
this most important rahasya grantham. The brilliance and clarity
of Swamy Desikan is clearly evident here and helps us all to
understand what is PradhAnam among various options in terms of
conduct as a Prapannan.

It is very important for the Editor and Publisher to know how well
we are serving your information needs. Hence, please take the time
to write to us (sgopan@xxxx, srengara@xxxx,
saranagathi@xxxxxxxxxxx) on your comments and suggestions. Looking
forward to hearing from you,

adiyEn, Oppiliappan Koil VaradAchAri Sadagopan, Editor-in-Chief
