Srimathe ramanujaya Namaha
Sri Vachana bhooshanam is a masterpiece of Swamy pillai lokacharya. That is
clearly seen by the importance given by Swamy manavala mAmunigal in his upadesa
ratina mAlai to this very prabhandam (only prabhandam). This work is split
into 6 or 9 prakaranams.
Classification into 6 prakaranas
1. purushakAra vaibhavancha 2. sAdhanasya gowravam 3. tattadhikArikrithyam 4.
asya satgurupasEvanam 5. haridhayAmahaidukeem
6. gurOrupAyathAnchayO:

Dear Smt Vedavalli,
Like several other works of pUrvAchAryas, Sri Vachana Bhsuhanam also
conveys that the Lord is the means and goal and He delivers out of
His krpA. Keeping faith in an AchArya is as good as believing in such
great Lord who is the means. Hence the AchArya himself is the means
out of his concern for the followers!
It is difficult to get the conviction unless His blessings are there.
Also the religion preached is selfless. Consumerism, casteism and
orientation toward rituals prevent adherence. Here, your exposure to
Bhagavadgita As It Is (perhaps, ISKCON) associated with aptitude to
analyze, may help.
> where we can get the work?
I dont know whether Patricia Mumme wrote a treatise on it. if she
wrote, that will be a good one to read.
Any commentary you read, it is better to follow the following
approach:
Correlation of each sUtra with preceding and succeeding ones.
Please let me know once you secure a copy.
