Dear SrImathi Geeta Chakravarthy : Similar questions have come to moderators over the past few years. There is genuine interest on the part of VaishNavaas . There has been some reluctance to discuss these topics in an impersonal medium like the internet . One's own AchAryAs are the best source for clarifications on the main and subtle points. Both the SampradhAyams are like the two eyes for a VishNavan. Both have to be revered and treasured. We are all Raamanuja DaasAs. I suggest that we keep these discussions off line . There is an excellent chapter in the recently released book by SrIman Anbil Swamy on this topic.He walks a very careful line to sumamrize at a high level about the 18 differences between the two sampradhAyams. Please refer to that book ( Pages 692-706). With best wishes , V.Sadagopan NamO ----- Original Message ----- From: geeta chakravarti To: Oppiliappan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, May 31, 2004 1:15 PM Subject: Re: [Oppiliappan] Number of times of prostrating - differerence I would also like to request the erudite group to give a brief overview on Thenkalai and Vadakalai sampradayams. When and how the deviation started? What are the key differences and why (in rituals, practice, temples devoted to each, etc.) If this subject is already posted somewhere, please advice.

Adiyen is having a doubt about the differnce in number of times of prostrating by people following Vadakalai and Thenkalai sampradyam. Vadakalai people prostrate twice or four times etc. where as Thenkalai people do it only once or thrice. Adiyen will be obliged if swamin can explain the significance/meaning and differnce of prostrating between these two sampradyams.
