Except for the last sentence, all the other logics used reflect an incorrect 
understanding of our sampradAyam.  AzhvArs who are nitya sUri-s, are not to be 
compared to any Tom, Dick and Harry who walk on the road.  rAmAnuja, who 
undoubdedly was a great reformer, never got any non-brahmin to be a priest, or 
to enter the sanctum sanctorum.  In SrI bhAshyam, he has indicated his position 
on these kinds of issues.  However, I agree that we should follow the guidance 
of our AcArya-s, and I do not question the right of the writer to have his own 
personal opinion.

We have our Azhwars from all communities. Nammazwar
though belonging to the lowest casts, is being
worshipped in our temples and given a prominent place.
We have accepted Tulaka nachiar. Our great Acharya Sri
Ramanuja was a social reformer who brought in people
from all communities to the Vaishnavite fold.
Instead of getting agitated over the issue we are to
work out an acceptable solution, with the guidance of
our Acharyas.
