Subject: Re: [ramanuja] Divine chat with pErarulAlan!(Part-3)
Dear Smt. Sumithra Varadharajan
I am amazed by this dialogue. Only for people who have such pure
affection towards PErarulAlan such a lucid conversation is possible. I
am proud that I am associated in someway with people like you and also
jealous and sad that I cannot be even one trillionth like this.
Adiyen
