     About Dr. Anantha Rangacharya
     -----------------------------
     We are honored to announce the first telephone discourse by
     Vedanta Vidvan Dr. N.S. Anantha Rangacharya, a renowned scholar of
     Indian Philosophy. Dr. Anantha Rangacharya studied Vedanta in the
     traditional manner at the feet of Vedanta Vidvan, Vedanta Sarajna
     Sri U.Ve. Krishna Tatacharya Swami. He received the B.A. (Hons),
     B.T., and Ph.D. degrees from Mysore University. For many years he
     was Principal of Maharaja's Sanskrit College, Mysore. He is well
     known for his deep study of all the major philosophers of Vedanta
     and for his unbiased presentation of Vedantic fundamentals, which
     is a treat for the open-minded. He has the distinct honor of
     teaching the works of Sri Sankaracharya at the Bharatiya Vidya
     Bhavan four times, a feat rarely matched by scholars of any
     background.

     He has authored over 90 books on Vedanta in both English and
     Kannada, including translations of the principal Upanishads,
     detailed expositions of the commentaries of Sri Ramanuja, the
     Tiruvaymoli of Sri Nammalvar, and many other works of both popular
     and scholarly interest. He is a tireless lecturer and has
     conducted discourses in English, Tamil, and Kannada without a
     break for many years in Bangalore.

     It is our good fortune that Dr. Anantha Rangacharya has agreed to
     give us this lecture in English. Everyone should make use of this
     opportunity to listen to this octogenarian master of philosophy.
