Moderator Note: Dear svamins, This issue has been addressed by Sri Thirumalai
parasara bhattar swamy directly by sending mail to both Sri Sridhar and to
enthralling archa group and the captions 'srirangam' has been removed from the
site now.
srImathE rAmAnujAya namah
dear svAmis,
it is true that we should rise above kalai issues/differences. And it
is also correct that bhAgawathas are doing wonderful service to
bring photos/pictures of AchAryAs to the desktop of people around
the world - hence, instead of being thankful to them, questioning
their motives is not correct.
However, I do not think that anyone is dragging AchAryAs into the
debate if they ask why something is this way, or that way,
when what they see is very different from their experience.
It is a fact that koorattAzhvAn's descendants do not wear the
thirumaN depicted in the photos. Moreover, in the
KooorattAzhvAn/bhattar sannadhi in the great temple at srIrangam,
which is taken care of by the descendants of kooorattAzhvAn, one does
not see AzvhAn/bhattar with this thirumaN.
In my opinion, the best way to not make this an issue would be to
clarify where the photo was taken from, and explain why (if
known), the mUlavar vigrahas adorn this kind of a thirumaN (some
thing as simple as "this is taken from X sannadhi, and those who take
care of the sannadhi belong to Y sampradayam" would have provided
the answer to the question).
Questioning the motive behind a question, rather than answering it
just seems to make the issue more problematic.
Just my opinion..

forgive me for my mandha-buddhi, but I am surprised to see
KooratthAzhwAn and Parasara Bhattar adorning Desika Sampradaya
thirumaNs? Can somebody kindly clarify??
