Hinduism Rediscovered ? A monumental encyclopedia relevant and valid for all 
times, written by the great Shri Anbil Ramaswamy Swamy one of the best 
authors of 21st Century or even the third millenium of Christian era and 
sixth millenium of Kaliyuga.

A Humble Review and Tribute.

There is a famous saying about the epic Mahabharatha ?Yad iha asthi thad 
anyatra Yat na iha sthi na thath Kvachith?.  The meaning of this is what is 
found in Mahabharatha is also found else where and what is not found here 
cannot be found any where else. This axiom is eminently applicable to the 
book Hinduism rediscovered which is under review now. I marvel the author 
Sri Ubhayavedantha Vidwan Sri Anbil Ramaswamy for the patience and 
perseverance he had in gathering so much of information with intricate 
details and present it in an excellent and impressive sequential form.

If a real review has to be written to this book it would contain as many 
pages as the book itself.  So writing a pragmatic review is something 
impossible and out of question.  It is an encyclopedia on Hindu culture, Sri 
Vaishnavite philosophy, religion, tradition, culture and customs.

The author has given a brief account of other religions and philosophies 
that exist in this world.  Barring subjects of physical and natural 
sciences, modern mathematics, Engineering and medical sciences everything 
under sun has been covered in this book under review.

It is still a mystery as to how the author was able to collect so much of 
information on various topics presented in this book.

If a person possesses a copy of this book in his hand (not in the rack), one 
need not go in search of another book for getting the required information.

Devotion towards Acharya
This book which can be considered as the eighth wonder of the world cannot 
be written without possessing spiritual power and divine grace.  The 
Spiritual power has to flow only through an Acharya as Lord Sriman Narayana 
will not directly confer the spiritual power as per our Sri Vaishnava 
Sampradaya.  Only an Acharya possessing all the qualities as narrated by Sri 
Vedanta Desikan in the first two verses of Nyasa Vimsathi can confer the 
above.  All these qualities are in full measure in His Holiness Srimath 
Paravakottai Srimad Andavan Sri Gopala Desika Maha Desikan of Sri 
Poundarikapuram Srimad Andavan Ashramam, Srirangam, which is more than a 
century old institution.  His holiness possesses remarkable mystic powers.

If people take refuge under his lotus feet, His Holiness will confer upon 
them the divine grace and spiritual power with which people can do wonders.  
The most fitting example for the above is Shri Anbil Ramaswamy swamy who is 
a very devoted disciple of his holiness.  He did Kalakshepam of many 
Vedantha granthas under the lotus feet of his holiness and his holiness did 
Prapatti to him. So the divine grace and spiritual power acquired by him 
through the above holiness has given him sufficient strength, courage, 
wisdom, knowledge and perseverance to write this epoch making book.

In addition to the above, the author has studied spiritual texts under the 
lotus feet of his holiness the present Srimath Alagia singar of Ahobila mutt 
both in the Poorvashramam as well as in the present Sanyasa Ashramam and 
also under the lotus feet of the late Purisai Nadathur Krishnamachariar 
swamy who are all great exponents of Sri Visishtadwaitha philosophy.

So the author has eminently fulfilled the famous saying ?Bahubyaa srotavya 
bahudhaa srotavya, Gnana vriddha maya rajan bhava parye upasitha:? The 
meaning of this is that knowledge has to be gained by listening to the 
preaching of many Acharyas who would teach all aspects of a subject matter.

The combined and comprehensive knowledge imparted to him by the above 
stalwarts has contributed to the complete success of this book.

This book is a worthy possession of every man and woman and especially in 
Sri Vaishnavite tradition and it deserves being read daily by every 
individual just like Srimath Ramayana Paarayana so that valuable and 
innumerable  ideas contained in this book get fully consolidated in the minds 
of the readers.  Extracts from this book are worthy of being quoted by those 
who deliver spiritual discourses.

?Yavath sthasyam thi giraya sarithas cha mahitale thavad Ramayana katha 
lokeshu pracharishyethi? was the boon conferred on Sri Valmiki Ramayana by 
the Lord Chathurmukha Brahma and every syllable of the same is true even 
to-day.  The meaning of the above is that Srimad Valmiki Ramayana gets 
propagated in this world; so long the mountains and rivers are there.

I pray to Srirangam Divya Dampathi and Poorvacharyas to confer the same boon 
on this book also and also pray to them to bless this outstanding author to 
live for several decades to come, with good health  so that many more such 
precious books may come out with his tireless efforts and yeoman service.

The books can be had at the following address on payment of Rs.480/- per 
copy payable in Cash, Cheque or Demand draft drawn in favor of ?Sri 
Ramaswamy Anbil? and sent to
Sri Ramaswamy Anbil, C/o. Srimathi K.Mythili, 25 (Old 22) 2nd East Park 
street, Prithvi pakkam, Ambattur, Chennai ? 600 053. 
(Phone : 044 ? 2657 3246)
