Sri: Srimathe Ramanujaya nama: Dear Sriman KK, Humble praNAms to you. You know what,you should keep your mind a "little" softer than your heart:-) If you wanna keep your hands and legs in every field,fine and have fun! If not,just think of the example of hologram. The whole consists of parts. Whole is also a part but part is not a whole. Part is only a "small" representation of the whole but it is neither "qualitatively" nor "quantitatively" equal to the whole. You can think the part as KK,Nappinnai or siva or brahma and what not. But the whole is Sriman Narayana. If some bunch of fools in the form of politics(and idiot box/TV) and other things try to damage our religion,who cares! For how long can they bark(may be one lifetime)??? TV fellows want to make money so they will add lot of spice to their programs! You don't go by every Tom,Dick and Harry's word. All matters is "who" the critic is and passes the judgement. I want to give you one simple example that supports nirhEtuka krpa. Even if the jIvAtmA is at the receiving end,unless HE graces things will not happen. I asked my father to send srI kUraththAzhvAn's srI stavam,varadarAja stavam and bhattar's rangarAja stavam along with sri yAmunA's stotra ratna and sri periya vAccAn piLLai's vyAkhyAnam. My father felt happy that the daughter is asking all these and packed nicely so that it consumes less space! But my cousin said there is no space and she could carry only two books. So finally I didn't get the father and the son's works. I have the desire to learn those works and I am ready in my opinion(!!!)but yet didn't happen. HE sets the time for everything. So wait patiently for that TIME:-) > Our children in this generation are exposed to these instead of our > traditional values. The subtle brainwashing is successful to such > an extant that, our children feel ashamed to associate themselves > with hinduism (constant hammering of caste discrimination, > exploitative brahmins in school text books, movies, tv serials etc. Most of the TV stuffs only corrupts the mind. This is called GIGO (garbage in garbage out). You can only brainwash someone whose mind is already imbalanced! That's why association(satsangh)is very important. I am not well versed as you're. So,pardon me(generously) for all my shortcomings. Best regards AzhvAr emperumAnAr jIyar thiruvadigaLE sharaNam NC Nappinnai
