Dear Sri Guna and Sri VenkatEsh

First, I would like to say that I did not request folks not to talk 
about hearsays. All I said was that it was not necessary to bring in 
a different topic into discussion.

On your question, I cannot answer as to why Sri Mani had raised the 
discussion in the first place. However I can add my own thoughts on 
this. without dis-respecting any of the acharyas or elders, some (me 
included) may have questions about the turn of events. For example, 
Thirumala follows the Vaikhanasa system and they are very strong in 
resisting change. Given that background, one would logically want to 
know, how did a shrine for EmperuimAnAr come about in a Vaikhanasa 
temple, that too, when there is a shrine for EmprumAnAr and none for 
his predecessors or successors (?please correct me if I am wrong?). I 
also remember the shrine to be really large at thirumala, more so, 
compared to the one in thiru allik kEni. To me, history of temple and 
society development is fascinating and i do not mind questions of 
this nature. The answer is not going to affect my practices one way 
or the other. 

Additionally, I would not posed this question on a larger mailing 
list out of concern that it will get clobbered and morphed into V/T 
issue. 


thanks 

Adiyen
Venkatesh Elayavilli
