Quite a while ago we had a so called Topic of the Week where users were encouraged to ask questions about a specific topic and compete for the best question.

@Pandya I just remembered that a year back I gave the user Bharat links to some books about Visistadvaita, and a video about it. You may find them useful as wel; see this part of the chat transcript:

I've set my mobile to play Venkateswara Suprabatham in the morning (around 4:30 a.m.). I'm assuming there's no problem with that practice. However, a couple of days before, a relative passed away. My father told me to switch off the daily suprabatham for these ten days. Is it all right to wake ...
