Why No Tantra Sastra In Sri Vaishnavam

There is Narayana  Tantra which deals with Tantra.

Even in this only basic aspect is referred.

There is no elaborate description of Tantra  Sri Vaishnavam.

One finds elaborate description of Tantra  aspects of Hinduism in Saivite texts, Shiva, Shakti,Ganapati,Subrahmanya.

But this aspect is noticeably absent in Sri Vaishnavam.

Intellectual Bhakti Kalidasa’s Genius Vagarthaviva

One is Bhakthi tinged with Reason and Intellectual approach.

Another is total emotional immersion in the Love of God.

And example of an intellectual bhakti may be discerned in Kalidas's first sloka of Raghuvamsa , which set about describing the Dynasty of Lord Rama.

Curiously the work that is about to talk about Lord Hari,Vishnu , begins with a Sloka on Lord Shiva and Parvathi.

This is the sloka.

The genius of Kalidasa lies in that this poem is open for Twenty Five meanings!
