Sri: Srimathe Ramanujaya nama: Dear Sri TCA Srinivasa Ramanujam, Humble pranams to you. I guess you have misinterepted the post. "arca" worship is as old as the vedas which means beginningless and endless. And "arca" worship has been proved by AzhvArs even if it was not mentioned in brahmasUtra(you have to go and ask veda vyasa why he codified like that). So,arca worship is not "something" new as you seem to have understood from the post. SrivaiShNavism was there much prior to buddism or even before bAdarAyana! I read it in some book on "Ramanuja" and I vaguely remember that it was either P.N. Srinivachari or R.K.Das(who had done research in VaiShNavism). Hope you now understand the "actual" intent of the post. AzhvAr EmperumAnAr Jeeyar TiruvadigaLE saraNam NC Nappinnai
