I am from a south indian "smartha" family who has had a meandering journey for the past 20 years in search of the answers to questions in life. In due course of the search, I moved away from the traditional smartha views to vaishnavism, and that journey went through a whole lot of other things. I used to be a lot more fanatic in my outlook and understanding but with time I have also come to a realized stand that people take to whatever path based on their karma dynamics and freewill.

This site has been a very valuable reading resource until few days back when I decided to join in and see how I can learn more and in the process contribute a little as well.
