Dear
SrEvaishNavites,
It is the hypocrisy that kills. If i
belong to southern school of thought, let me at least follow that
properly. dhEvathAnthram bhajanam on one hand and AzhwAr's pAsuram on the
other -height of hypocrisy.
I know people from both the shcool of
thoughts, suddenly become sincere to their schools only when it comes to the
marriage of their offspirngs and insist on 'thirumaN' kAppu- to the kailai they
belong to. ''
Otherwise, they neither normally
recognise Sri VEdhAnha Desikan or Sri MaNavALa mAmunikaL.
The first two questions have to be
addressed:
1.When a person belonging to southern
school of thought worships dhEvathAnthram-s does he have moral right to reject
Sri VEdhAntha Desikan -Height of hyprocisy again?
2.In the same spirit, when a person
belonging to northern shcool of thorught goes and falls at the feet of all and
sundry, does he has the moral right to reject Sri PiLLai LokAchAryAr or MaNavALa
mAmunikaL?
3. AzhwAr-s have clearly proclaimed and
our rahasya granthangaL have toed the line, that one should not go for
dhEvanthAnthram. Therefore, let us not in the name of nirhEthuhak kripai try to
justify these acts.
4. Irrespective of the ultimate end, if
one does not want nithya kainkaryam, and if one wishes for some material wishes
- at least let them fall at the feet of Lord KrshNA. Perhaps, in due course this
will change.
5. Yes our AchAryAs should be vociferous
and telling while performing samAsrayanam in this regard. The message apparently
is not getting conveyed and samAsryanam has become a mere ritual. As mentioned,
the numbers do not matter, it the conviction that matters and the conviction
should be born at the time of samAsrayanam at least, if not
earlier.
6. Coming to the topic of discussion,
thhough I agree by definition, they do not belong to srEvaishNavism by practice,
is it not our AchAryAs role to reclaim them? 'payan
anRAGilum pAngallanAgilum, seyal nanRAgath thriuthip paNi koLvAn" kaNNinuN
siRuthAmbu
7. Yes, the sampradhayam books should be
permeate more. I think yahoogroups and vEdhics are doing this to a great
extent.That is indeed great.
8. I request you who are all in the know
of things, to encourage our younger generations to open these grantham-s and
start studying. Let them consult learned people and Acharyas and listen to
upanyAsam cd-s. Kanchi swAmy's books are eternal treasures.Let them be made
clear that these are not difficult to understand and is in the grasp of one and
all. This change in the mindset from the elders is also
required.
( the first counsel I got from many of my
elders was - do not open srEvachana bhUshaNam and read. You will not understand
This attitude should completely change)
It is unfortunate that desisting from
worshipping other deities is only an entrance test but the way argument goes, it
is like becoming a final exam.
9. I think what Sri Kidambi SoundaraRajan
wrote was out of feeling that, those belonging to srEvaishNavic lineage go
astray.
