Dear Bhagavathas
 
I have heard that Arthi Prabhandam of Manavala Mamunigal is not recommended for study as it expreses MM's lonnging to reach Paramapadam fast.
 
Any clarifications from learned .

Dear Swamin,
        I am in full agreement with you. After all G.P. is one of the 18 sacred puranas and has lot of information useful for vaishnavas. I am surprised see that similar kind of reserved attitude is found with respect to "Archiradi" of Sri Pilla Lokacharya as this kalakshepam is generally carried out at the passing away of a prapanna. It is to be understood that both G.P. and Archaradi are works about the Lord and our journey to him. The convention of their recital in a particular context is just to impart this information when mood and climate is more inclined towards vairagya.

Dear Bhagavattotamas
There seems to be an incredible amount of superstition regarding the Garuda
Purana. The G.P. is a sacred text which takes the form of a dialogue between
Srikrisna and Garuda on the nature of life and death. It is a book of
knowledge. How can the aquiring of knowledge about universal matters which
affect us all create negative effects? Negative effects in our life arise as
a result of karma phalam not because we kept a book in our house! This is
what we call animistic superstition and is incompatable with the lofty
doctrines of Srivaishnavam.

Adiyen

Sriram
