THEIR LIVES AND WRITINGS

BY

T. BAJAGOPALA CHARIAE, M.A., B.L.

CONTENTS.—Natharnuni; Pundarikaksha; Yamuna-charya; Sri Ramanujacharya; Sri Vedanta Desika; Manavala Maba Muni; and Chaitanya;

These are a Series of Seven Essays on the Lives and Writings of the principal religious reformers of the Vaishnavite or Visishtadwaita School of India. The treatment is critical and historical; but special prominence has also been given to the literary side of thin School's activity. A clear account of the growth of Vaishnavaism is intended to be conveyed by these Lives of Eminent Reformers, and reference has throughout been made to the development of doctrines. A special chapter is devoted to the exposition of the Visishtadwaita philosophy according to Ramanuja. The growth of Vaishnavaism in Northern India is briefly dealt with in the last Essay, that on Sri Chaitanya, wherein that great Saint's career is also fully described.
