Sri Ramanuja wrote nine works in Sanskrit on the philosophy of Vishishtadvaita. Of these, the Vedartha Samgraha occupies a unique place inasmuch as this work takes the place of a commentary on the Upanishads. The book contains the original Sanskrit text along with a running translation by S. S. Raghavachar, and is sure to be useful to all students of Indian philosophy.
Some people are so afraid of losing their individuality. Wouldn't it be better for the pig to lose his pig-individuality if he can become God? Yes. But the poor pig does not think so at the time. Which state is my individuality? When I was a baby sprawling on the floor trying to swallow my thumb? Was that the individuality I should be sorry to lose? Fifty years hence I shall look upon this present state and laugh, just as I now look upon the baby state. Which of these individualities shall I keep?
-Swami Vivekananda
