Great Books to read

Ramayana

Let us start with Ramayana. There are many things to learn from this Purana. It is not just possible to narrate all the things said in Ramayana in this Blog. To some extent I have blogged some lessons we need to learn. They are contained in my blog srimadramayana.blogspot.com

Learning from Krishna

Much can be written on Lord Sri Krishna as well. Please see my blog krishnamahima,blogspot.com

SRIMAD RAHASYA TRAYA SARAM

This book is about the quintessence of the three esoteric mantras, Ashtakshara Mantram, Dwaya Mantram and Charamaslokam which constitute the lifeblood of our SriVaishnava Sampradaya.

It is verily the Guide Book to Liberation. All concepts of the Sri VisishtAdavaita Sampradaya are elaborately explained in this work, which could be characterised as Swami Desikan's magnum opus.

At the beginning of every chapter, there is a sloka and/or pasuram introducing the reader to the concepts to be covered in the chapter. Similarly, at the end of the Chapter too, Swami Desikan appends a pasuram or sloka, summarising the matter dealt with. The organisation of the Chapters too is graded and logical, leading the sishya from one topic to another with ease and coherence.
