Carl ji, you will find your answer in my post here..

I have honestly tried investing time in understanding Ramanujacharya's texts, but am unable to understand his line of reasoning the way I am able to understand Sri Shankaracharya's Bhashyas.
One thing I noticed in this thread. From discussing who is a hindu, we are actually getting into "who is not a Hindu". The hallmark of the nitty-gritty infighting is showing up quite well, and in the process has taken me away from where I originally wanted to go. I had to take some time to meditate upon this.
When I read your recent post this morning, I did not have any bouts of 'blood-boilings' or flying off the handle. I must admit, you are quite coherrent, and articulating your position well. In this context, I will be glad to ask you questions on topics I do not understand well.
I remember we were once talking about Mandukya Upanishad. Could you please lead me to Vaishnava sources of Bhashyas or interpretations of the Mandukya Upanishad? It would also be nice to hear your thoughts on the Great Upanishad.
cheers,
Sunder.
