Guest guest Report post Posted October 5, 1994 Hello!! My name is Arun Sridharan. I shall now try to give you a brief introduction to my past and present. I was born in Bangalore in 1976. For the first 12 years of my life, I lived in Gauhati(4 yrs),New Delhi(4 yrs), Bangalore (3 yrs) and in Madras(1 yr). In 1986, my parents came to the United States as graduate students. Having recently completed their advanced degrees, they are in the process of settling down in Mississippi. After coming to this country in 1988, I did my High School in Mississippi. For the past 1 and a quarter years, I have been an undergraduate physics student at Brandeis University. Brandeis is located about 10 miles west of Boston, Massachussets. For the last one and a half years, I have become very interested in Vedic philosophy. In particular, I have done a fair amount of reading on Gaudiya Vaisnavism. I have visited a few Radha-Krishna temples in this country and have found my experiences there to be especially enriching and meaningful. I have had the honor of having the association of a few advanced Gaudiya Vaisnavites and as a result my attitudes toward life have changed a great deal. As time went by, I felt an urge to study the philosophy of the tradition that I was born into, namely Sri Vaisnavism. I think that my life will be greatly enriched by having some contact and association with the Sri Vaisnavites in this group. I have already learned quite a lot in the few days that I have been on this mailing list. Since I am a neophyte at Sri Vaisnavite studies, I would really appreciate it if any of you could give some pointers with regards to some reading material. Before I stop, I would like to thank Srinivasan for informing me about this group. In case any of you would like to get in touch with me, here is my address. My address is: Arun Sridharan MB #319 P.O. 9110 Brandeis University Waltham, MA 02254-9110 Telephone: 617-736-5222 Thanking You, Sincerely, Arun Sridharan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
