Introduction
From the Bhakti List Archives
• June 12, 2001
Dear friends, My name is Lakshminarayanan (I prefer to say it this way, than "I am Lakshminarayanan" -- for I really don't know what that "am" means there!). My birth made me an Iyengar. And that blessed my teens with immense faith in Lord Narayana which inturn blessed me with many material things (for example, some good educational degrees), and made me say "Kurai ondrum ellai Govinda!" Very soon, I hit upon the question "What is the purpose of life?" and this shaked the very foundations of me, namely, faith in Lord Narayana! I am still searching for an answer to this question. I am joining this list with a hope to understand the basic principles behind Sri Vaishanavism and to find answers to 1. What does Sri Vaishnavism defines as "the goal of life"? (Does it define one at all?) 2. What does Sri Vaishnavism say on "Why should there be a goal for life?" I am really an illiterate with respect to the literature of Sri Vaishnavism. All that I learnt in my childhood was a few shlokas, with out their meanings. So, please enlighten me. Further, I am not sure, how the aforementioned questions of mine sound. If they sound harsh or impolite, please execuse me for it. Thanks and Regards, Ln -------------------------------------------------------------- - SrImate rAmAnujAya namaH - To Post a message, send it to: bhakti-list@yahoogroups.com Archives: http://ramanuja.org/sv/bhakti/archives/ Your use of Yahoo!
