Greetings. Thanks to Mani for letting me in to be part of this group and
Dr. Rengaswami who told me about the existence of the group. I belong to a
traditional vaishnava family (somewhere in marriage invitations I have seen
names like Thoopil). My uncle was one of the chief archtiects of the Desika
Sabha in Bombay. I am involved in activites of Sri Lakshmi Temple, Ashland,
Ma. I am also leading a group on vedic chanting. I have been interested in
Vaishnavism and Visishtadvaita from early age and never fully understood
from reading. My current belief is that there is a component of
experientialism which I think could be obtained either by rituals and/or
yoga etc.. I am really happy to see the discussions that are going on and
hope to contribute to the discussions.
