Excellent job Jaydip. I wish if we can enlarge the family tree picture. That would be great.

In the days of multiple wives and many many children, to draw a single linage would leave the family tree incomplete....would it be possible to have an links to each name, which in turn display the names of wives and thier children.....something like they have done in wikepedia...

Also, let us all have our own family trees (like in www.ancestry.com). This could help many of us find our far away cousins.....creating more unity amongst the vaishnavites.

Sorry that the comment is getting longer, but one last thought...
to bring back the younger generation who are getting away from being Vaishnavs, can we have organised relegious services (like catholics go to church every week, muslim go to the mosque) why dont we HIndu's visit our temples on regular basis, and why dont we have someone to speak to us about our religion, propogate it and keep it alive???

Regards,
Prakruti

This is Mrs Kamla L Bhatia,

I quite agree with Prakruti's comments, I have many a times mentioned in all my arguments that :we know very little about out religion and unless(which we must) we donot preach in temples and give out maximum knowledge and tips to the new generation" till then no one will be keen.

In our temples we just visit to see the Shringar, we vaishnavs all over have to be very flexible. Sorry to say even our elders don't know the actual meaning of what they follow or do religiously.
Sorry to be so open but this is the truth.
