A: The most important reason is that it has been authored by Sri Parasara, the father of Veda Vyasa. Additionally, Parasara‘s grandfather, Vasishta and the fore-father of the demonic race (‘asuras’), Pulasthya had obtained a boon to “Bring about a great book on the understanding of the Supreme Lord.”
The Q&A of the day is an excerpt from "Two-fold Vedic Vision", a Sri Vaishnavite handbook based on Sri Sudarsanar’s 1008 Catechisms in Tamil written by Sri. Kidambi Sridharan. The collection contains invaluable information on the Vedas, Upanishads, Puranas, Ithihasas, the lives of Alwars, Acharyas from Sriman Nathamunigal to Sri Manavala Mamuni, the 108 Divya Desams and answers to various other related questions. This book is available for kindle in e-book format for purchase on Amazon.
