srImathE rAmAnujAya namaha
srImadh varvara munayE namaha

Dear Swamis,

The responses from all the members are encouraging. Yes, it is 
encouraging to see that atleast no one comes out in protest of giving 
respect to all. This is a good first step. Now in order to take it 
forward, I am sorry to say this, but we have to leave our older 
generation behind as they will definitely not come in terms with 
accepting this. I know that I am being controversial here. But sorry, 
I have seen this for myself in many places. They just don't want to 
come into terms and the reasons are "AchAram" and "anushtAnam". 

But atleast from our generation, we can get rid of this disrespect. 
As Sri Ranjan put it lucidly, even if a person does not have a 
Thiruman, we can still respect him with ourselves wearing a Thiruman. 
Then he will appreciate the nobledom of the Srivaishnava religion and 
atleast will not get away from it.

There is no point in giving any excuses that, he worships anya-
devatha, he eats non-veg, he is not taking bath regularly. Remember, 
if we do still respect them, probably they will listen to what we say 
and we can then teach them about being hygenic etc. Always when we 
take the initiative, the results will be forthcoming. On the other 
hand, if we say that you are not pure, you eat everything etc, he 
will only find another place where he can stick on with all the 
habits he has currently.

So let us start respecting everyone, but the first step towards it 
is, atleast let us stop disrespecting others.

AzhwAr emperumAnAr jeeyar thiruvadigaLE saraNam
adiyEn rAmAnuja dAsan,
Thirumalai Vinjamoor Venkatesh

colour, creed or ashrama.  The aruguments based on varna ahrama do 
not hold ground today be cause no body sticks to his/her varna 
ashrama in its entireity.

predecessors.  Still we respect them as great people.  Why because we 
give respect to their paramparai.  If we just think and realise then 
we will understand that we have to respect them not because they 
belong to this or that parampara but SIMPLY HUMAN COURTESY DEMANDS 
RESPECT AND REVERANCE.

irrespective of caste and creed. EMPERUMANAR SAID LOVE ALL AS 
SRIVAISHAVAITES  not because they have THIRUMAN KAPPU not because 
they belong to this sect not because they belong to this vamsa but 
more because in him also YOU FIND LORD VISHNU. IN THIS LIES THE SOCIO 
RELIGIOUS VISION OF SWAMY RAMANUJA.  In the name of religion, HE 
blended all the people under one umbrella that is SRIVAISHNAVISM. 
>    
>   So it is not important whether one is a brahmin Srivaishnava or 
non brahmin srivaishnava .  Even within brahmin srivaishnavas, 
difference lies between disciples of various different MUTTS.   
Disciples of one Acharya does not accept another and disciple of one 
MUTT does not see eye to eye with another. We feel we are more 
knowledgeable .  Do we perform our varnashrama dharma as laid out by 
our Seers?  No.  .  Do we agree with our own Srivaishnavites who 
belong to different Acharyas/MUTTS. Even within one MUTT, so many 
groups function.  No body is 100% strict as per his/her varnasrama.  
Are we Swamy Pillai Lokacharya and Parasara Battar?  Definitely not.  
So we why to quarrel ? What is important is you should not 
discriminate any body in the name of sampradaya. YOU NEED NOT MAKE 
ALLIANCES WITH THEM YOU NEED NOT GO AND EAT WITH THEM BUT RESPECT 
THEM AS EMPERUMANARS SHISHYAS.  Do not ask them to stand separately.  
LOVE THEM.  THEY ARE SRIVAISHNAVAS.
