dear bhAgavathAs, This mail is regarding the recent discussions on a post by srI Anand karalapAkkam in another forum. Let us remember one important thing here - If someone takes pride in saying that XXX/YYY is NOT their AchAryA, then that person is the one that is the loser. For, s/he is not able to let go of his/her own ego - i.e. XXX/YYY is not *MY* AchArya! - When we are not even sure whether we are capable of being the followers of any of these great realized souls, why try to "qualify" someone to be good enough to be *MY* AchArya? It is indeed true that in the rAmAnuja sampradAya, no distinction is made between srI vEdAnta dEsika and others. All are our AchAryAs and every one's words and conduct are important *without* exception. Just a proper understanding of the words/context/conduct is needed on our part. Let us remember that, and focus on enjoying all of their gifts to us, and make ourselves useful to the world around us. adiyEn rAmAnuja dAsan, varadhan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
