Hello Dear Mr.Sampath Kumar,
I do not generally participate in the conversations. But do read a good number of emails.

Reading your email, I find it amazing how people can complicate life.

I very much agree and respect and abide by all the teachings of all the Alwars and great teachers.

But, why do we have to refer to what they have said about some of these trivial things? Why do we need to search and research through what Sri Ramanuja or Sri Shankara has said about helping an aged woman / man?
Is it not straight forward and simple to follow the basics of life:
- Help others who are in need
- Speak truth when it makes sense and when you are not harming somebody else
- Do not steal

...

why make it such a convoluted questioning?
Does it matter what Sri Emperumanar has said about helping some other SriVishnava? I can take a bet that Sri Emperumanar or Sri Ramanuja would never have said that one should help only Sri Vaishnavas. That would bring them down to any other common man's thinking levels. They were very noble and the most broad minded. I don't think they would ever ask their followers to help ONLY SRIVAISHNAVAs.

Thanks
Shreenath
