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. adiyEn TCA Venkatesan --- Srinivasaramanujan TCA <tcasr@xxxx> wrote: > Dear Fellow Bhagavatas, > It is possible to take a view that even by worshipping > a diety other than Sriman Narayana, one is worshipping > only God. ... > [Like all rainwater from the sky going to the ocean, > so all prayers to any God reach Kesava] > Though I started with uncompromising adherence to > "nindra aadippiraan nirka matrai deivam naadudire", I > have started praying to Vinayaka, Subrahmanya and > Garbharakshambika of Thirukkarugavur.
