Dear SrI JagannAthan :

Some additional thoughts on local resources :

1) Belur Sri Ramakrishna Matam , where there are
both adhviatha and VisishtAdhvaitha SanyAsis .

2) During your business trips to Chennai or Mumbay , you
can spend some time with SrI Matam or Andavan Aasramam
SrI Karyam Swamys to clarify all of your doubts . If you happen to
be at SrIrangam , HH Srimath PoundarIkapuram Andavan will help
you . If you ahppen to be at Mysore , there is a group of AchAryans
and great VaishNavite scholars , who can help you .

With best wishes ,
V.Sadagopan
