The Hindu Conception of the Deity as culminating in RAMANUJA
The Aim of this work is twofold - firstly, to deal with such conceptions of the Deity as led to Ramanuja's views (the Upanisads, the Bhagavadgita, Vaisnava portions of the Mahabharata, the Visnu Purana, the Bhagavata Purana, and the Hymns of the Alvars, all of which directly influenced Ramanuja's view of the Deity), and secondly, to deal with Ramanuja's own conception of the Deity

The Linga and the Great Goddess (HB)
Svami Karpatri (1907-1982), a revered contemporary sannyasin of exceptional personality, was renowned for his deep scriptural knowledge, which he used in his many writings to light up the Hindu orthodox point of view. The two significant articles presented here deal with the meaning of the Linga and the nature of the Great Goddess. Besides doctrinal and mythological clarifications, we find a sophisticated debate about the nature of sakti between two traditional schools: Nyaya and Mimamsa, which could be compared with those held in the times of Adi Sankara.
