krshNa says: api chEt su durAchArO BhajatE mAm ananya bhAk sAdhurEva sa mantavya: samyak vyavasitOhi sa: If someone adheres to all bad practices but has undivided SEshatva buddhi for Me, he is a pious man (Sadhu). Ramanuja says such a person is vaishNavAgrEsara (best vaishNava). ParASara bhattar clarifies this SlOka tells that Lord does not discrminate on the basis of vrttam or habits. bhUta dayA is a blessing for the Vaishnava and it is the natural habit of a Vaishnava not to eat non-veg. SrIguhapperumAL is the best SriVaishNava and all his dOshams (if any) are bhOgyam for the Lord. What is Bhakti? swAmini dAsasya anurAga mayI sthiti: says Bhattar. For the Lord, the state of love of the subservient chEtana. This is the basic definition. archanA does not mean buying ticket in the temple for Bhattar, it is some service (to Him and His devotees) out of our Bhakti (anurAga yukta SEshatva budhhi). adiyEn rAmAnuja dAsan Vishnu > > This food topic reminds me to ask: Is guha > (who offered non-veg to perumAL) an SV? > > dAsAnu dAsI > NC Nappinnai > > > BALAJI IYENGAR <balajivn2000@xxxx> wrote: > > > > > > Srimathe Ramunajaya Nama: > > > > Adiyen has got a doubt regarding SamaashrayaNam.
