 IMPEDIMENTS TO SREEVAISHNAVITES?

The write-ups on 'mAyanai mannu vadamadhurai maindhanai' thirup pAvai -5, 
highlights on the fact that all the impediments vanish on uttering the name of 
the Lord.

A pertinent question arises in this regard. Do impediments thorn the way of 
Sreevaishnavic path?

This aspect is dealt in the commentaries and also by vAnamAmalai jEyar's 
swApadhEsam.

The quote " srEyAmsi bahU vignAni" is taken referring to the fact that 
obstacles lie even in the path of Great Souls. 

Sri chakravarthi thirumagan was to have been anointed and adorned as the King 
of Ayodhya. The sacred time is fixed by the great sage Vashishta himself. The 
person who is to be adorned to be the king is none other than sri RamA who is 
personification of dharmA. Sri RamA and pirAtti approach periya perumAL before 
the adorning function. The whole ayOdhyA desires the coronation function. 

Despite all these postive features obstacle sprang its hood stopping the 
function. 

We are after all souls who have committed sins,since ages. There is bound to be 
impediments,is the query raised by one quarter.

As we proceed to experience his togetherness, definitely the past and future 
sins will be decimated. 

Even if The Lord's plan collapse, He will not allow His devotees desires to go 
hayware. Lord KrishNa's out of the way efforts is an outstanding instacne for 
this.

Thus indulging in bhagwadh guNAnubhavam,the impediments vanish automatically. 

The aim is to enjoy the KrishNAnubhavam and as a corollary the impediments 
(present and future) evaporate is emphasised.

It is relevant to recall here the pAsuram "yEzhmai pirappukkum 
ksEmam,innOykkum, EdhEa marundhu, vUzhmayil kaNNapirAn kazhal vAzhthumin 
vunnithE" thiru voi mozhi 4-6-9.
where the Lord KrishNA's divine feet is good not only for future but 
automatically removes the disease of AzhWar.

Similar to that, the KrishNAnubhavam and the chanting of His thirunAmam will 
automatically remove all the impediments.
