Re: Sri Vaishnava books and its sources
Thank you Anirudh,
I did not know that Divya Prabandam is called Dravida Veda or Fifth Veda and I do not speak Tamil. Since only Yoga and Vedanta are popular in the West and available in my mother tounge I am not familiar with Vaishnava Traditions. Anyhow I like to read these scriptures.
There are more fifth Vedas
Mahabharatam is called as the fifth or the panchama Veda.
The Ramayana, also makes a claim to be the fifth Veda.
Similar claims are made in the Puranas, which claim to be the fifth Veda
The Natya Shastra, a text dealing with performative theory, also applies to itself the label of "Fifth Veda"
Other works that have been characterised as the "Fifth Veda" include, texts on ayurveda

Re: Sri Vaishnava books and its sources
Planning to purchase 'Bakthamala' compiled by Shri. Nabha Goswamiji, English edition, through amazon.
This book is about close to 500 illustrious Vaishnavas, a very old book from the past century.

Re: Sri Vaishnava books and its sources
Perhaps the next book that I will buy will be "Vaisnavism: Its Philosophy, Theology And Religious Discipline" by S. M. Srinivasa Chari.
Re: Sri Vaishnava books and its sources
Yesterday I finally bought the book on italian Amazon.
Perhaps the next books I will buy will be "Philosophy and Theistic Mysticism of the Alvars" and "Fundamentals of Visistadvaita Vedanta" by the same author.
