Sri: Srimathe Ramanuja nama: Dear sriman kasturi rangan, My humble pranams to you. It looks like you are heading in a wrong direction at the speed of 150 plus mph! Just kidding. Beforehand,let me tell you,whatever I write may sound sheer nonsense to you. I consider myself as a novice in everything. Who do you want to convince regarding the Supremacy of vedas and Sriman Narayana? Yourself or the society? If you want to convince yourself,keep everything aside(reading all kinds of religious books with the exception of BG)and just read only the Bhagavad Gita sloka 4:34(how a disciple should serve and how he receives spiritual knowledge from the AcArya). Don't torture your mind. I have personally experienced its effect although I still do not have an "official" AcArya! If you want to convince some people/society,then you need to re-think. Does Einstein care if a commoner understands his theory of relativity? NO. Vedas are not for the "mediocre" minds. It's like an Advanced course. There are thousands who are awarded a PhD degree every year. Does everyone get a Nobel Prize? NO. Even among the Nobel Laureates(say physicists),there are "levels" of intellectual thinking that can be noticed. You can not change others or the world but you can change only yourself and that too "only" through association with the "right" group. I am saying this because I used to have heavy arguements(I will do an onslaught that the other person would thouroughly get offended!) with other religious group members(some claiming siva as the supreme and some srikrishna)and I wouldn't spare them without putting forth my point(supremacy of sriman narayana) despite my genetic attachemnet for Sri Parthasarathy. But still they stuck to their own views. Only due to AcArya's anugraham(blessing),I realized that I can not change others nor is it my responsibility (when I'm myself dependent on someone else!). If I had said anything wrong to offend your feelings,please forgive me. Best Regards AzhvAr emperumAnAr jIyar thiruvadigaLE sharaNam NC Nappinnai
