Moderator Note: Dear svamins, This issue has been addressed by Sri Thirumalai parasara bhattar swamy directly by sending mail to both Sri Sridhar and to enthralling archa group and the captions 'srirangam' has been removed from the site now. srImathE rAmAnujAya namah dear svAmis, it is true that we should rise above kalai issues/differences. And it is also correct that bhAgawathas are doing wonderful service to bring photos/pictures of AchAryAs to the desktop of people around the world - hence, instead of being thankful to them, questioning their motives is not correct. However, I do not think that anyone is dragging AchAryAs into the debate if they ask why something is this way, or that way, when what they see is very different from their experience. It is a fact that koorattAzhvAn's descendants do not wear the thirumaN depicted in the photos. Moreover, in the KooorattAzhvAn/bhattar sannadhi in the great temple at srIrangam, which is taken care of by the descendants of kooorattAzhvAn, one does not see AzvhAn/bhattar with this thirumaN. In my opinion, the best way to not make this an issue would be to clarify where the photo was taken from, and explain why (if known), the mUlavar vigrahas adorn this kind of a thirumaN (some thing as simple as "this is taken from X sannadhi, and those who take care of the sannadhi belong to Y sampradayam" would have provided the answer to the question). Questioning the motive behind a question, rather than answering it just seems to make the issue more problematic. Just my opinion.. adiyEn madhurakavi dAsan, varadhan --- In ramanuja@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Sampathkumar Raghunathan <sampathkumarr7@...> wrote: > > Swamin > > Pl. raise yourself above these issues and just appreciate the efforts of a Bhagawata who tried to bring these Acharya Mahapurushas to your mailbox.

Kindly forgive me for my mandha-buddhi, but I am surprised to see KooratthAzhwAn and Parasara Bhattar adorning Desika Sampradaya thirumaNs?
