Dear Bhagavathas, I was really happy to see Smt.Sumitra's mail, as she has written whatever I wanted to write. To add a few more lines to her mail regarding the Anushtanam's followed by our poorvacharyars, Our Ramanuja Sampradhayam emphasizes Seshathvam and Parathanthriyam and also "Melaiyar seivangal". A Seshan cannot ask questions nor he cannot do researches on the statements of his master. (this is against our Sampradhayam). so all we need to do is to follow simply. Eventhough, I understand that it is difficult to follow(esp when it comes to Sandhya) lets not find justifications for not doing as it been rightly quoted in the mail "Avan manam kanni pOga nAm kAranamAgalAmA?".If we start doing this way, then the future generations will come with more questions such as "what is scientific reason for doing Thiruvaradhanam, why should I go to temple as Perumal is there in my heart as Antharyami etc. etc." When our Ramanuja found it difficult for people like us(the regular samsari) to do the three Yogas to attain our Beloved Lord and made "Saranagathi" the best way, then why didn't he change other karmas too? Are we that qualified to question them and change them? Kshmikka prarthikkiren, adiyen ramanujam
