| Dear srevaishNavites, FORGETTING THE DIVINE NAME 
OF THE LORD What wil happen if we forget the divine name of the 
Lord? The assistants of "yamA" will not touch 
us. What a paradox. All along it is understood that the 
divine name of the Lord is the salavation from the yama kinkarA-s. Now it is 
said that forgetting the  name of the Lord will result in this 
benefit? Well, it is not that this is applicable for all the 
souls universally. It is for those who even if they forget the name of the 
Lord but never , never  never submit their souls to 
other deities this is applicable. Thirumazhisai AzhwAr also talks about this  
forgetting. He talks about the nature of 
srevaishNavites. Their conviction in relation to other deities. 
 Even by such type of  forgetfulness, we 
srevaishNavites will not worhip other deities is the message delivered by 
AzhwAr. "thiRambEan min kaNdEr, 
thiruvadi than nAmam maRandhum, puRam thozhA mAndhar..." nAnmugan 
thiruvandhAdhi -68 The message is that - the soul meant for the Lord 
may not be submitted at His divine feet; However, it should definietly not laid 
at the altar of others. (to be continued) vanamamalai padmanabhan
