SrI:
 
Dear AasthikAs :
 
I am pleased to forward the announcement of the release of
two important books  by one of the Doyen among Scholars ,
Dr. N.S.Ananatha Rangachar Swamy of Bangalore .
 
The First one is an original monograph about Bhagavath
RaamAnuja Darsanam . adiyEn gets often inquiries from
bright young VaishNavAs , who want to get an authoritative
book on the doctrines of our illustrious darsanam. This monograph
by Dr.NSA Swamy on " RaamAnuja Darsanam " appears to address
the information needs of youngsters and older VaishNavites , who have
not been exposed much to the noble darsanam of ours but are thirsting to
know . With so many youngsters growing up far away from their moorings
and unable to learn about our SampradhAyam thru traditional
KaalkshEpam routes from AchAryAs , monographs like this one
and its companion release on " Yatheendhra Matha Dheepika"
are gifts from the dhivya Dampathis .
 
As one who is not able to read or ubderstand Kannada , my only wish
is that these books get translated  into English by a bilingual native
from Karnataka so that the outreach of these books will be universal .
 
Our prayers are to the Dhivya Dampathis to bless  Dr.NSA SWamy
to continue with his many noble kaimkaryams on behalf of
the Sri VaishNava Community of the world .
 
Daasan , V.Sadagopan

We are glad to announce the release of the book "Ramanuja Darshana and
Yateendra Mata Deepika' by my father, Dr Dr N S Anantha Rangachar swamy of
Bangalore. The book will be released on Sunday, 19th June at Srimad Andavan Ashramam,
Jayanagar, Bangalore by HH Sri Sri Rangapriya Swamy. The function would take

It is very attractively priced for the release function at Rs 80/- only.

extensive quotes from various pramaana granthas.


Yateendra Mata Deepika:
****************************
A translation of the work of Sri Srinivasa acharya. The original text is on the left side and
kannada translation in on the right side of each page. This is a great work explaining all
the important aspects of Vishishtadvaita siddhanta - pramana (pratyaksha, anumana and
shabda), kaala, nitya vibhuti, dharma bhoota jnana, prakriti, jeevatma and Paramatma etc.
Its written in very simple sanskrit and the translation is equally simple and one-to-one.
This book was published by father 30 yrs back and soon became out of print. The book also
got a State award for best translation.
