Sri: Srimathe Ramanujaya nama: Dear Sri TCA Srinivasa Ramanujan, Accept my pranams. True that all prayers reach Keshava. Lord very clearly says in BG that whoever worships Him in whichever form they desire,He appears to them in that particular form. But His divine feet is different from those of other gods. That's why He points arjuna to fall at His feet. Rainwater can not replace the ocean. We are all parts representing the whole(Him). A demi-god is also a part of Him. BG IX 39-42 shows omnipresence of Him. Offering prayer to the part is not the same as offering prayer to the whole. We have to see the qualitative and quantitative aspects here. When a person realises that "everything reaches keshava",he will only offer worship to that keshava. If worshiping other deities was justified,EmperumAnAr and our other AchAryAs would have implimented and practised. AzhvAr EmperumAnAr Jeeyar TiruvadigaLE saraNam NC Nappinnai
