Sri:

In this connection, Adiyen has another question.
Adiyen in his ignorance feels adiyen has seen acharyas in archa form in 
temples, being worshipped with tulasi. Is this wrong? Are'nt our Acharyas 
considered equivalent to sriman narayanan himself in our sampradayam ? Why then 
is it nor permitted to adorn their divya mangala vigrahams with tulasi garland 
? I humbly request bagavathas to pls clarify.

Dasanu dasan.

PS : Dasan humbly agrees that devatantarams and humans are not eligible to wear 
tulasi garland...

SrI:
Dear sri Vasudevan Swamin.
thanks for your email.
It is a Srivaishnava lakshaNam that one wears a maalai (garland) of thuLasi 
beads... This thuLasi bead and lotus bead maalias were meant and referred to 
by Sri NainAchArya.
It is not garland of thuLasi leaves...which are meant only for Sriman 
Narayanan.
Perhaps, I did not specify the same correctly and completely-[ as is usual 
with me...].
Aplogies for misleading.

Regards
Namo Narayana
dAsan

Shrimathey Nigamaantha Mahaa Deshikaaya Namaha

Kindly pardon me for saying this but it is a known fact that the thulasi 
garland is fit for wearing only by the Lord, Shriman Narayanan. Human beings 
can consume it as prasadam or for medical reasons, or have it placed on the 
inside of the ear lobes so that it does not come in contact with the hair on 
the head. No other devatantarams are eligible to wear the thulasi garland 
either. Swami Desikar and his Thirukkumaarar were certainly aware of this no 
doubt. Under such circumstances, it is difficult to believe that Swami's 
Thirukkumaarar has composed a poem on his Thiruththagappanaar which states 
so many times that the latter wears a thulasi garland.

I request learned scholars to throw light on this.

Once again kshamaapanams if I have said something wrong.

Shrimathey Nigamaantha Mahaa Deshikaaya Namaha.

lion among poets and debaters, reside forever in my heart.
