Vedartha Sangraha
A pilgrimage through Sri Ramanuja's manifesto of Vishishtadvaita, in plain English, for families and seekers
Mahathi Raghava Ramanuja Dasi
Sri Ramanuja's Vedartha Sangraha, 'the summary of the meaning of the Vedas', in plain English for families and seekers. At Tirumala, Ramanuja set out a whole vision of God, the soul and the world, in which careful thinking and deep devotion are one flame. In seven parts this book walks through it like a pilgrim through a temple: the Lord as Srinivasa, full of every good quality; souls and the world as His body; the harmony of the Upanishads; the path of devotion and surrender; and the bliss of Paramapada. No Sanskrit needed; a glossary is at the back.
