SreemathE Raamanujaya NamahaSreemadh Varavara munayE Namaha. adiyEn is constantly learning about our sampradhaayam and hence most of the time in 'listening' mode. But the sollaatchi of Swamy.Sreekanth's mail forced me to open up. Both in english and in Tamizh he is fantastic.(Blindly following someone or something is bad as per ulahavazhakku;but we can not follow this too blindly... wow fantastic usage of both english and tamizh). adiyen does not know whether it is proper to use the forum to express such appreciation in the midst of samradhaaya discussions by jaambavaans; pardon me for the interruption; adiyEn just wanted others also (if they had missed to note) to enjoy the nectar of his writing. Hence the mail. Kshamikka vENum.... adiyen Raamanuja daasan sundar -----

When I
used to visit GuruvAyUr, I used to see people crazy at Lord chanting 'GuruvAyUrappa! GuruvAyUrappA!'
Many people complain
if you
follow blindly some one that would be dangerous. One should study and decide for
oneself
is the universal
prescription.
But can we follow this advice too
blindly..the answer is no.
It depends on whom you follow and
what you follow.
When azhwar is questioned by
emperuman, AzhvIr how can you describe me do
you have some evidence ? AzhwAr replies
eppadi Ur A miaikkum kuruttu a mialaikkum ennum appadi yAnum sonnEn thiruvirutham 94
When the cow flock reaches the
village back after gracing, they moo in happiness that they are back home.
Aa blind cow among them, also moos together -ammEA- with others, even
though it cannot see where it is. Azhwar answering emperuman that like that
blind cow, me too sing about Yourself oh! my Lord hearing to the vaidikas who
know you and define you as the one with beautiful dark hued thirumEni and
chenthAmarai kaN. They saw you and sung, and adiyEn is blindly following
them.
No wonder AndAL and
