Srinath, a priest in the Rama Temple who is very learned in Ubhaya Vedanta. For the last fifteen months he has been giving discourses on Tiruppavai (once a week) which was attended by a small band of interested devotees. His discourses are entirely based on Sri Vaishnava vyaakhyaanas and it has been a great spiritual experience to the listeners. He is going to begin discourses on Tiruppalliyezhucchi shortly (actually this evening). Dasan Srinivasan
