Though
this site is mainly for the beginners, others too might find these
pages very useful, I hope. A new section in the FAQ, for asking
any questions related to the Lifestyles and Religion -
Srivaishnavism is added for the readers benefit.
There are near about 5,970 web sites listing, (as of June 03, 2008
) -
according to Google search
engine -available on the topic SRIVAISHNAVAM & Srivaishnavism. And this web site is listed within the top ten
posts. And as per Yahoo Search Engine, there are 5,380 websites
listed for the same key words, as of 3rd June 2008, and
this site is listed in number two.
All the other sites are dedicated to the Azhwaars (the 12 great
Gurus or teachers who propagated ethics and values of
Srivaishnavam in poetic scripts named Divyaprabhandham which is
purely in Tamil and known as Dravida Sagaram), Aacharyans (the Gurus), Divya Prabhandam, Divya
Kshetrams or 108 Divya Desam (the sacred places or sanctuaries where the temples of
Lord Shri Mahavishnu are located), Sri Ramanuja (a great
scholar and founder of the Visishtaathvaitham),
Sri Desikar(a great scholar who propagated VISHISHTAATHVAITHAM and
the founder Guru of Shri Ahobila Mutt), Emperumaal (Lord Vishnu
Himself), All sorts of Srivaishnavam materials such as slokhas,
Vedas, Temples, Gods and Goddesses. But none of these sites give
the reasons and inner meaning for practicing the rituals. If
rationale thoughts are just posted, the younger generation will
surely understand, benefit and appreciate it. They might even
follow the system more authentically. Here I am not giving any
versus or slokhas, but only giving the inner meaning of
Srivaishnavism & Srivaishnavam culture and its practices.
In these pages, I try to give a fair picture of Srivaishnavism,
Pride, Rituals and its reasons & beliefs in brief. In simple
words the rationale behind practices of Srivaishnavam. There may
be some points here unacceptable to some, might be someone patting
me , a few even against this in Toto.
Whatsoever it may, I am honestly trying my level best to be
impartial and post here in these pages whatever I learnt from my
Guru, my father and the Society in General.
If these columns get some value, let the praise go to the Lord
Sriman NArAyaNa, The Creator of this Universe. If any mistakes and
misquotes found, then I am solely responsible for the lapse, and
sincerely apologize for the same.

Frequently I am questioned by curious young persons from our
Srivaishnavites culture, for explanations and methodology of this
Sect's routine practices on Srivaishnavism. Within my limited knowledge, I try to
convince them of the available facts. You're most welcome to ask a
question related to the subject.
Whatever I learnt from my beloved father and within my limited knowledge
that I gained through
some studies and experience, I am passing it here through these pages.
Hope you enjoy visiting. Please sign my Guest Book with your
