Dear swamies,

This question is perfectly relevant and well posed. Even viewing objectively 
the philosophies, one can say that Sri Adi Sankara put the vedic culture back 
in the pedestal when there had been onslaught of different mathams confusing 
people. However, there were several contradictions. Lord Ramanuja corrected 
these contradictions and built a really strong philosophy lauded and actually 
to be acceptable by everybody. It is unfortunate that the society is having the 
present situation of multiplicity when the work of unification is already 
accomplished.

Lord krishna in his avathara performed shiva sthuthi before the garva bhangam 
of shiva only to show to the world that paramathma cannot be protected by other 
aathmas. Whether Lord Rama did shiva pooja or not he surely tried surrendering 
to samudra rajan - only to show to the world again that such sharanagathi will 
never yield results. If a powerful being seeks refuge under a powerless being 
such a refuge will never be successful.

So the call for unification based on an objective assessment is welcome. It was 
Lord Ramanuja's desire too to unify the entire world!
