About the Book

In the southern peninsula of India, Ramanuja founded the Srivaishnava school of Vaishnavism in the 11th century. His philosophy, Visistadvaita, as well as the religious movements of the Srivaishnavas made a stir in the intellectuals of the then society. Consequently a large number of the Brahmans who originally were the followers of the Smriti tradition, took refuge under Srivaishnavism whose liturgy is guided by the codes of the Pancaratras instead of the Smritis. Sri Vaishnava Brahmans gradually developed into an exclusive community of their own. The present work has made, for the first time, a full-fledged survey of the origin and development of this particular community of the Brahmans as well as an authoritative exposition of their liturgical codes. Besides being the study of an important Hindu sect, the work would be considered of great interest to the scholars of sociology and anthropology.
