Book Description

About the Book "Early History of Vaishnavism in South India" by S. Krishnaswami Aiyangar provides a comprehensive exploration of the origins, evolution, and contributions of Vaishnavism in the southern part of India. It details the roles of Vaishnava saints, tracing the religion's development from its inception to its contemporary state. Aiyangar also examines the interplay between Vaishnavism and other regional religions like Jainism and Buddhism. This insightful book is essential for understanding the rich history and cultural dynamics of Vaishnavism in South India.

About the Author S. Krishnaswami Aiyangar (1871-1946) was an esteemed Indian historian and academician. He chaired the Department of Indian History and Archaeology at the University of Madras from 1914 to 1929. Aiyangar's works focused on Vijayanagar history and introduced new historical methodologies, with a nationalistic perspective. Rao Bahadur M. Rangacharya (1861-1916) was a renowned scholar and educator. Born in Melkote, he excelled academically, studying both Physical Science and Sanskrit Literature. He contributed significantly to education, serving as Secretary to the Committee of Management at the Hindu High School, Triplicane. Rangacharya's multifaceted career included teaching, research, and contributions to various fields, leaving a lasting impact on Indian education and culture.

Preface THE following lectures, presented to the public as course Madras University Special Lectures in the Department of Indian History and Archaeology, formed the subject on which I intended to send a paper to the International Congress of Orientalists, which was to have been held at Oxford but for the outbreak of the War. It was suggested as worth doing as the result of a discussion on the subject which I had with Sir George Grierson, who at the time was interesting himself in the subject. He wanted more of Vaishnava literature should be made known to the European public and suggested the translation of Yatindramata dipika, a manual of Vaishnavism, and the Arthapanchaka of Pillai Lokacharya. The translation work has been done since, by my friend Mr. A. Govindacharya of Mysore; and the historical part of the subject was awaiting study for various reasons, among which other occupation was the principal contributary. The timely appearance of Sir R. G. Bhandarkar's treatise on "Vaishnavism Saivism, and Minor Religions" made the taking up of the subject more urgently necessary. In a review of the work in the Journal of the Mythic Society, Bangalore, I indicated that I would work up the subject so as to bring to bear upon the question all the light that may be got from sources recently made available. I took advantage of the occasion offered by the First Oriental Conference at Poona, over which Sir R. G. Bhandarkar him-self was to have presided but was unfortunately prevented from doing so by illness at the time. The objection was made in certain friendly quarters that it was highly improper that I should have taken up a controversial subject like this and presented a paper to a Conference held in honour of Sir R. G. Bhandarkar himself, "criticising his views." The word criticism conyeys a little too often unfortunately, the sense of finding fault which is far from the accepted significance of the term. Criticism is of the essence of historical research and no one is justified in proceeding on research work without making sure that the footing gained already by previous work is actually beyond cavil.
