Dear SriVaishnavaites, On last Sunday, (Jan 11) I was blessed to visit tiruveLLikEni temple and had divyadarsanam of swami?s thirumanjanam. Koshti of swamis were reciting Upanishad for thirumanjanam. I also was reciting but no one objected. In the crowd, I saw one of the devotees who had come with the family and was reciting Upanishad. But as he belongs to vadakalai sampradaya, one of the swamis came over immediately and stopped him reciting. Being from thennacharya sampradayam myself, I felt bad as I saw him as an srivaishnavaite only and that too who knew Vedas. I heard that viceversa reservations are shown in tiruveLLur for thennacharya sampradayis. I strongly feel that there should be only a philosophical reason for these divisions. My question to the enlightened group here is how come we are divided like this as both sampradayams accept Srimad Ramanuja as Acharya. And in his life we see that he was enlightened by thirukachi swami and maaranEri nambi who were from the so called low caste. For the insult done to his acharya thirukachi nambi swami, srimad Ramanuja took a decision to walk out of the family even. But by having and practising these type of above mentioned actions at temples, are we not insulting Srimad Ramanuja?. Then what is the use of praising alwars like nammalwar, tirupaaNaazwar etc and reciting nambaaduvaan's history when we cant practise the same. When nammalwar or nambaaduvaan appears now and , will we treat them like this? I feel so as we are not practising what our great acharya Ramanuja said. Forgive me as i have busted out with pain. But this is not an emotional outburst. Being an youngster, I seek the elders to enlighten me on this. Thanks, Srinath --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
