Vaishnavism - Its Philosophy Theology and Religious Discipline
Vaishnavism is not simply a religious tradition. It is one of the most rigorously developed philosophical and theological systems in the history of human thought — and this book maps it with rare scholarly depth and clarity.
In Vaisnavism: Its Philosophy, Theology, and Religious Discipline, S.M. Srinivasa Chari traces the tradition from its earliest roots in the hymns of the Rigveda through its full flowering as a monotheistic system in the hands of Ramanuja and his followers. The book moves through four distinct areas of inquiry: the philosophical foundations of Vishishtadvaita Vedanta, the theological doctrines surrounding Vishnu as Supreme Deity, His relationship with Goddess Sri, His incarnations and attributes, and the religious discipline and ethical values that form the living practice of the tradition.
For serious students of Vaishnavism, Vedanta, or the Sri Sampradaya, this is an authoritative and indispensable reference — scholarly in its rigor, yet written with the reverence of one who understands that these are not merely academic questions but living truths.
