Dear srEvaishNavites,
They say that proof of the eating is in the
pudding. Similarly, one need not look externally to confirm that one has become
a srEvaishNavite. The fact that one is ecstasic on seeing a fellow srEvaishNavie
is the ultimate proof of being a srEvaishNavaite.

namaha ?taN chERai emperumAn thAlai nAlum sindhippArkennullam tEnoori eppozhudhum thiththikkumE? In the earlier paasuram,
kaliyan expressed his wish to be amidst the bhagavatas without sparing a
second. Immediately a questioned
aroused.
It is quite usual for people
to wish to be amidst others who are like-minded. For instance, samsAris want to be amidst
other samsAris, they can never tolerate loneliness. The bhAhya kudrishtis (Buddhist and
Jains) prefer company of those in the same category. So in which crew do you want to
join?
Azhvar answers,
?I am not part of
the Buddhist or Jains (bhAhya kudrishtis)? After listening to the great episode
of the NarasimhAvatara where emperuman came running to save his bhaktha from the
clutches of Hiranyan and went to the extent of tearing off Hiranyan to pieces
how can I join in any other group? ?Ok azhveer! But even we
have heard about narasimhAvataram.
But still we haven?t got that ultimate faith (ananyArhasEshatvam). How did you come to know that you have
affinity only towards the jagathkAranabhoothan sarvEsvaran Sriman
Narayanan? ?The joy I obtain while thinking about Srivaishnavas is the proof for my ultimate surrender to emperuman? Thiruppavai Ithihyam
(Thiruppavai 7 Arayirapadi) ?Atkondavilli Jeeyer

to prostrate Atkondavilli Jeeyer, a satsishyA of emperumAnAr. Atkondavilli
Jeeyer said, ?I have not got perfect affinity towards bhagavat vishayam yet?
Shocked by this statement nanjeeyer replied,?Being a great acharya how is it
that you say like this? Atkondavilli Jeeyer said, ?One is considered to have a
true affinity towards bhagavat vishayam only when he experiences great ecstasy
on meeting a bhAgavata!?] Essence of kaliyan?s
words has been showed by our acharyas in their life. Azhvar emperumAnAr Jeeyer thiruvadigalE
