SrI: Dear SrI Rajesh: You are correct in your assessment . To His SadAchAryAs , Lord blesses them to enjoy all bhOgams that He is entitled to . He reserves only Jagath Srushti and RakshaNam and other small list of duties to Himself. Our Lord will be pleased to have His SdAchAryAs to adorn TuLasi Maalai at SrI Vaikuntam and archA Moorthys of AchAryAs at their BrundhAvanams . The garlands worn by the Lord are routinely presented to SanyAsi AchAryAs as a mark of MaryAdhai to them in the LeelA VibhUthi of the Lord.

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 ?
