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
