Sri Sampath Rengi is right, when there is a conflict
between the writings about Sri Vaishnavam by RK Mutt
publications and the writings of our Acharyas, it is our
Acharya's words that must be considered authoritative.  I
am sure such conflicts, if any, are just a few and are
completely unintentional.

RK Mutt publications are very well respected by
everyone.  My own faith in Sri Vaishnavam was kindled
by their publication, "Life of Sri Ramanuja" by Swami
Ramakrishnanada.  I have been urging my son to read it.

Swami Vivekananda rekindled pride in our religion
during a time of despondency.  His achievements must be
respected even while turning to our own achaaryaas for
spirituality.
