SrI:

Our sampradhAyam as said by AndAl is "KUde irundhu KulirndehlorenbAvAy"..

The problem is "vambu" not the the real meeting of people.

small minds usually discuss about vambus and involve in unworthy
perosonal praises etc etc.

so dont blame the sampradhAyam.blame the people. 

Meditation is dhAyAnam who said that our sampradhAyam doesnt include
this?? Infact bramhaviths go one stpe further and involve in chinthanam.

I am now getting slowly convinced by the quote that "you are what you
eat".

May be the person who posted this is very serious about reformation of
such practices that he ahs witnessed. 

Yes I agree to his view points as expressed but please dont blame the
sampradhAyam for that.

I am forced to think it that way.

It makes me to conclude that many posts here are nothing but a
pathetic expression of minds that are influenced by socialism and
secularism.(as seen from christianity point of view) or at times
expression of superior(limited) knowledge or utter confusion or a
strong conviction that the sampradhyAm is nothing but mad outcries of
jobless and idle people.

This is strong langguage yes. but I believe that the posts deserves this.

Asking a doubt and getting a clarification is different from stating a
wrong point about sampradhAyam and getting answers that it deserves.

Has the writer read the full story and events that took place during
the life os sri rAmAnujA to decry and simply term the kirumi kanta
cholan episode as "monotheisitc chauvanism"??

It is easy to coin words and describe events with such a mind whose
flow of thoughts pass only through a contracted and constrained path...

Please spare our achAryAs.. dont drag them to mud because of your
limited and often biased knowledge of our sath sampradhAyam.

regards
Venkat
