ArchAvataram

From the Bhakti List Archives

Dear Members,

The ArchAvataram of perumAl is extensively described in the Agama 
Sasthras. One should not pass a personal opinion on theses issues. 
We should be guided by shAstras and our acharyas within our 
lineage.

Dr V Varadachary recently published an excellent book on the 
PancharAtra Agama (published by TTD). It is in English. It 
extensively deals with the concept of ArchAvataram as enunciated 
in the Pancharatra Agamas.

I reccomed that book for bhaktas. Please be guided by the theories 
within the shruthi/smriti/agamam and prabandham. It would be 
meaningless to look for ghee outside when we have butter in our 
own hands.

Regards,

Venkatanathan Athreya, Ph.D
Bangalore, India.
