TESTIMONIALS

This is the only course that went over the bhashya word by word. Also, Dr. Sreeram Jaganathan gave us the contextual background knowledge for us to fully appreciate the content. In all my Sanskrit learning, this course closest to true learning of the Sanskrit Texts as it all the needed factors. The text with bhashya, a proficient Acharya, and the students interested in knowing the essence of shastraic thought. The terms Brahman, Ishvara, pramANam, real versus unreal, Apta or the shabda, as means of knowledge are in frequent use. Only through this course one can learn the evolution of thought in the context of these terms.

Manju

Dr. Sriram took us on a wonderful journey of Vishishtadvaita philosophy.
