srImathE rAmAnujAya namaha srImadh varavara munayE namaha Dear Sri Mukundan, I would just like to rephrase the explanation of the upadEsarattinamAlai pAsuram as follows :- Here "pinOrndhu" is very important word in the pAsuram. This means than though you listen to all your ancestors words and learn them, you are to do analysis and ascertain that it is nothing but truth. The reason why Sri maNavALa mAmunigaL said this is clearly explained in the history of swAmy emberumAnAr. If swAmy emberumAnAr would have accepted the words of Sri yAdavaprakAsar without analysing the accuracy of his teachings, great gods, just think where will this Sri Vaishnavism be today. So it is clear that one is allowed the freedom to analyse and accept the truth rather than blindly following them. AzhwAr emberumAnAr jeeyar thiruvadigaLE saraNam adiyEn rAmAnuja dAsan Thirumalai Vinjamoor Venkatesh
