We are bound to empathize with the pearl-diver , who , despite grueling attempts , ends up surfacing a few pearls from the bosom of the vast ocean . Our Vedic sampradayam too, is an unfathomable ocean of great eternal truths and our acharyas , the pearl-divers. But Unlike the ordinary pearl-diver , they brought ashore all the precious stones from the ocean bottom .We have thus been enjoying the fruits of their arduous labour. But now, enveloped in absolute materialism, we find it difficult to comprehend their works too! So , do we have any sampradaic pearl-divers today ? The answer is an emphatic 'yes' after one riffles through ' Srivaishnava muttukkal '(Srivaishnava Pearls) of Smt. Bhooma Venkatakrishnan.

The book is a compilation of the articles regularly published by her in the Srivaishnava monthly ' Geethacharyan' run by her husband Dr.Sri.U.Ve.M.A.Venkatakrishnan swamy. The author has brought to light the lofty & soul – stirring thoughts embedded in SriVachana Bhushanam , the magnum opus of SriPillai Locachariar. All the core ideas contained in it have been explained through a drama employing five lively characters viz. Thatha ( the grandfather),Naayanan,Sridevi,Kannan & andal respectively. The young kids deluge their grandfather with thought provoking queries and thereby gain indepth knowledge of the subtle aspects of our sampradayam .Their conversation ends up educating us on the abstruse(deep) truths enshrouded in the works of our acharyas!

' Srivaishnava muttukkal ' is a book that will not only beautify our book-shelves but add a tinge of glitterand colour to our souls too ! So fetch a copy for yourself immediately !
