Dear Swamins: This is indeed a very frustrating subject because adiyen dont see any viable solution for this kalai disputes. Also let us not assume or come to a conclusion that all these have started in Thiruvallikkeni. What has happened to a Desika Sampradhaya person in Thiruvallikkeni will definitely reciprocated at Thiruvalloor or for that matter any other Vadakalai Divyadesams. Because so much mistrust has been developed for the past two to three hundred years within our community. Let us think for second. What would be the logical reason for a person in a divyadesam like Thiruvallikkeni to ask a vadagalai person to stop reciting Vedam or Prabhandham? If one person is allowed, then some other Vadakalai people will also join and may be in couple of years all these Vadagalai people may start asking for more rights and eventually one day who knows may take over the temple as well. This is what exactly even a vadagalai person lives in a Divyadesam like Thiruvalloor will think when a Thengalai person tries participate in their Vedham or Prabhandham recital. Therefore this is nothing but mistrust. I have lived in Triplicane for more than two decades and I belong to Sri Ahobila Mutt. I personally never felt any discrimination because I thoroughly understand the origin of this conflict and never crossed my limits. In our community, temples are always power centers. Whichever community has the power naturally would like to retain that. What could be the solution? There is no easy way out for this age-old problem. The one important step could be celebrating both Swami Desikan and Swami Mamunigal's Thirunakshatrams as a community event. Both sect should paritipate in such evnts. Second thing is not to disturb or alter the status quo of a temple's sampradhayam. Let us freeze all the status quo for another 50 years. Both the communities will not go to courts for asking new rights. There should be more interaction between the big Jeeyar Swamis of both sects. Whoever has the traditional rights in a Divyadesam will continue have those rights but others will also participate in kainkaryams. But who will do these things? This is not an easy task. I really don't know. It is very sad and frustrating to see that no one is ther to do this poonaikku mani kattum vishayam....Only big Acharyas can do this and not an ordinary person like adiyen. I remember a sloka from "Sri Yathiraja Vaibhavam", a Sanskrit work in 114 verses, which gives the entire life history of Sri Ramanuja by Sri Vaduga Nambikal. In the tail end of the work, it was mentioned that the so called "Kali Purusha" or the person in charge of spreading the Kali dharma (where no dharma will be respected) came to Sri Ramanuja and told him, "because of you (Sri Ramanuja), I (Kali Purusha) have been chased away. Because of you (Sri Ramanuja) so much dharma has brought back and I (Kali Purusha)dont have a place to stay. Therefore when a time comes, I will trouble your sampradhayam as well." Since we have forgotten a great saint like Sri Ramanuja, Kali Purusha is troubling us through this Kalai fights, is adiyen' s opinion. Let us surrender to Swami Sri Yathiraja and spread Sri Ramanuja's message of absolute surrender to Lord Sriman Narayana. Adiyen Ramanujadasan Kannan ------------------------ Yahoo!
