Sri:
Srimathe Nigamantha Mahadesikaya Nama,
Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama,
Srimathe Lakshmi Hayagreevaya Nama,
Dear Swamin, Bhagvathar, Sri Mohan Ramanujadasan,

Accept dasan's humble namaskar and respects to you,

With all respects to your response and advice, I
accept the explanation. 

Well I mean sip means injest of water from palm to
lips, without making noise. I learnt some couple years
back from respected people of our society.

Thanks to all the people who make the life more
meaningful and worth learning to live better tomorrow.
I feel blessed to have your response.

Anand
