Dear Murli Balu, In addition to the books recommended by Mr. Sadagopan I would also add a study of the biography of Sri Ramanuja for your relative. Ramanuja's life is as much a message as his books. I feel the personality and charisma of Sri Ramanuja add credence to his Philosophy in as much as his scholarship. I have found the following books in English to be useful: 1. Life of Sri Ramanuja by Swami Ramakrishnananda (can be puechased for under $4 from one of the numerous Vedanta Book Houses. 2. The life of Ramanujacharya by Naimisaranya Das (published byISKCON) -K.
