Guest guest Report post Posted May 19, 1995 Hello all, I am the most recent member of this list. My name is Rangarajan, Ranga being the popular abbrev. I came to the USA in Fall 92 for my Master's in CS and have recently started working in Cambridge(Boston) with Cambridge Technology Partners. My ancestral place is a village called Serankulam, near Mannargudi. I have never been there, though. Affiliations : tenkalai, Vaanamaamalai math. My family is quite orthodox and religious, but I have never been deeply religious myself. I sort of alternate between theism and agnosticism, usually turning to God in moments of crisis As such, my understanding of the Vaishnava philosophy is limited, something that I have come to regret of late. My interest in this group is primarily knowledge rather than any deep religious involvement. I guess that will come eventually, with better appreciation of the philosophy. It is nice to know that there are so many people interested in Vaishnava philosophy. Thanks to Mani for initiating this effort, and I look forward to learning a lot. I guess I have missed many interesting discussions on this list so far. Is there an archive available where I can pick them up from? Also, I have seen many references to "prapatti". What exactly does that mean?
