Welcome to learning Visistaadvaita Shree Vaishnava philosophy and practice by web tutorial. This course does not require the reader to have knowledge in Sanskrit or Tamil or in philosophy. Sanskrit / Tamil terms used will be translated and explained at all places in lucid English in these lessons. Each lesson will be for 4 to 6 pages only. Therefore the reader can easily read it and understand it just like reading a story. The reader is most welcome to present his questions, comments, suggestions, and doubts to me. It will be a pleasure for me to answer them. I conduct this course only as a Bhagavat-Bhaagavata Kainkaryam (service) and as requested by few interested people. Therefore I expect from you only your dedication and devotion towards Visistaadvaita Shree Vaishnavam. I request the readers to circulate the lessons to those interested in learning our Shree Sampradayam. Also I would request the readers to make those who are interested to learn about our sampradayam to join this course. I again assure you that the lessons will be simple. Your suggestion, comments, questions, and doubts are always welcome. Always feel free to write to me at mshari@usa.net

Note: Every week a lesson will be added into this tutorial, so please visit this page every week without fail to learn fully about Visistadvaitha Philosophy and Practise. There is a free email discussion group to discuss more information/ queries regarding this Visistadvaitha Tutorial, and you can post your queries to this discussion group.
