Sri :Dear Sriman Sowmianarayanan :Thanks very much for your thoughtful note .Your points are well made . Bhagavath Bhakthiand Ishta DevathA UpAsanam are two bigthemes for AzhwArs , AchAryAs and NaadhOpaasakAsand blessed poets .The Chadal Pasasurams of Thirumangaidebate about the Vaibhavam of Raam andKrishNa in the form of two ghOshtis of Gopis .One KrishNa Bhakthar addresses Lord Raamachandraand makes this request :Oh SeethApathi! Please set aside Your bow namedKodhaNDam and the arrows and adorn the beautiful flutein Your hand and decorate Your tresses with the peacockfeather . I will prostrate before You thereafter ( PascchAthThvAm praNamAmi) .An ardent Raama Bhathar started the Aarabhi Pancha Rathnam:SaadhinchanE to praise KrishNa ; halfway thru , his KrishNa-dhyAnam was disturbed and the krithi vAkyams shifted tohis ishta Dhaivam , Sri Raama chandran . Elsewherethis Saintly Bard says : Tava DaasOham and RaamachadrAthanyam na jaanE .Ditto for SrI Nrusimha and Sri HayagrIva BhakthAs .As the goal of Oppiliappan Group , all celebrationsof Sriman NaarAyaNa is totally acceptable .NamO SrIman NaarAyaNAya ,V.Sadagopan----- Original Message -----Sent: Thursday, November 01, 2007 8:05 PMSubject: Re: [Oppiliappan] A clarification soughtRespectful Bhagavathas,It was very kind of Dr Srimathi Ramanujam to justify adiyen's response to the original query, but adiyen has apololgised for it.As for distinction between Rama, Krishna etc., it occurs to adiyen's mind, that is a unque aspect of our sampradaya. In this prakriti life, living beings are all differ one from another even within one category like plant, animal and human forms. The Lord also appears in different forms so that everyone of His beings is attracted towards Him. In this way even Aasthikas can be brought. We also see difference in the time frame like morning, day evening & night, winter, summer etc. These are all to be transcended to get absorbed into the Lord Who is one and one alone. His Divyaathma is one only, but with countless Divya mangala vigrahas.One Acharya indicated, for quick progress we have to confine ourselves to One Acharya, One Deva, One Murthi and One Nama. It is to keep our mind in total concentration so that there is no chalanam. Sri Krishna agrees, our mind is sanchalah. Only through constant practice it can be controlled. To start with one has to choose one murthy of the Lord with all His leelas in that form according to the initial nature of our mental position.Kindly excuse me if anything wrong adiyen said. After all adiyen is ignorant basically.With regards,Srinivasan

Of course Sri Sowmya narayanan only answered the question about astrology since it is natural to give areplywhen you know the facts . But as Mr.ravi Narayanan says this sir te is not restricted to the subject of Oppipliappan or Rama alone. I do not think that as a devotee one should distinguish between one form of the Lord and another as all are His manifestations only. In fact Dr.Sadgopan has very knindly asked me to write on yadhavabhyuadhaya , krishna karnamrtha and Ramyana etc.in this site and I have been doing so.When we know that God is one, why to distinguish between even Rama and krishna etc.?saroja ramanujam
