Excerpt from The Vaishnavite Reformers of India: Critical Sketches of Their Lives and Writings
These are a series of Seven Essays on the Lives and Writings of the principal religious reformers of the Vaishnavite or Visishtadwaita School of India. The treatment is critical and historical; but special prominence has also been given to the literary side of this School's activity. A clear account of the growth of Vaishnavaism is intended to be conveyed by these Lives of Eminent Reformers, and refe rence has throughout been made to the deve lopment of doctrines. A special chapter is devoted to the exposition of the Visishtad waita philosophy according to Ramanuja. The growth of Vaishnavaism in Northern India is briefly dealt with in the last Essay, that on Sri Chaitanya, wherein that great Saint's career is also fully described.
