NamaskAram, I am a 24 year old programmer working in Silicon Valley and a new student of Sri Vaishnavam. I was introduced to this wonderful tradition by a very learned gentleman and a great devotee of Narayana. This eventful ( in my life anyway ) meeting took place about a year ago and has had a remarkable influence on me. Until that time, I had a very cerebral and shallow understanding of the Indian religious tradition, in general. He pointed out the inherent theism of Vedanta and the glorious vision of God in the Sri Vaishnava traditions. I started reading about the philosophy and the life of ShrI Ramanujacharya. I am delighted to be amongst sincere Sri Vaishnava scholars and thank ShrI Mani Varadarajan for this opportunity. Thank you, -Vivek. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
