Dear Sri Srinivasaramanujan Swamin (Uncle),

adiyEn's praNams. Please pardon me for stating this, 
but I feel that there is a contradiction within the 
stance you have taken.

If you do feel that Sriman Narayana (God) is within
all, and you are already woshipping Him in a Vishnu 
temple, then what is the need to go worship Vinayaka 
and other dieties. After all any prayers that you make 
to them, you can make to Narayana and it would reach
God. I am not saying that you have to go out of your
way to avoid other dieties, but it seems contradictory
that you feel compelled to worship them.

Please clarify.
