Discussion forum for everyone interested in the way of life as taught by the vEdic rishis and AzhvArs, and as expounded by nAthamuni, ALavandAr, rAmAnuja and his successors.
This group's main focus is to serve as a discussion forum for anyone interested in the rAmAnuja sampradAyam, which is an inclusive way of life and a philosophy emphasizing the inherent compassion of the divine. For purposes of clarification, we believe that the rAmAnuja way-of-life reflects that taught to us by the vEdic seers, AzhvArs, srI nAthamunigaL and his successors, srI rAmAnuja and his successors.
We recognize that there are differences of opinion among the followers of rAmAnuja. Our intention is to be inclusive, rather than exclusive where there is any controversy. (i.e. we think that *all* our teachers have bequeathed us with collective wisdom and we aspire to learn from *all* of their teachings).

To minimize flooding of mailboxes, we request that the posts on this list be exclusive to the extent possible. (do not post to all the lists)

To avoid any controversies, we require that any new member read and agree to the following statement:

"I recognize that the rAmAnuja way of life is an inclusive way of life aimed at helping anyone who wants spiritual knowledge. I further recognize and respect all the teachers who have bequeathed us with collective wisdom. I agree to not utilize the rAmAnuja email group to further my personal agenda, and agree to not use the group to initiate polemic arguments or indulge in discussion inconsistent with the vision of inclusion and compassion built into the rAmAnuja sampradAyam"
