sri: Please accept adiyEn's humble pranams: As the question of Brahmin, educated etc to chant SVS came up: ANYONE CAN CHANT Sri VishnuSahasranama as per the Questioner (Yudhistira and The author (Sri Bheesma), Anyone interested can chant. THERE IS NO BAR ON THIS. ======================================================= Here is a point to substantiate: Sri Vishnu Sahasranama starts with the questions being asked by Yudhistira (a Non-Brahmin) about who is Lord of the Universe, How to do Japam of Him, etc etc. Answer given is by Sri Bheeshma (Non-Brahmin). Kim Japam Mujjetha JANTUHU (Please read it says JANTU) So this is the question for any Being. If it was intended only for men etc the qs wouild have been purushaha. There is so much info supporting the fact that anyone can and should take the lord's name. (and Chant Sri Vishnu Sahasranama) =================================================== Normally Sri Viashnavas are not supposed to talk about the Varnas, (DO we ever say Lord Rama.. as Non-Brahmin or Sri Kriahna or Veda Vyasa,) THERE IS NO CASTE BARRIER or GENDER Barrier to chant sri SVS. If there are any pramanas that counter the above point, please let adiyEN know. adiyEn Ramanuja Dasan Mukundan V. Pattangi
