Dear Bhagavatas:
Many of our members (who have been on our lists from the beginning) 
would remember how, long ago, I had spearheaded the "Unity movement" 
among Srivaishnavas. Even back in India, we are a miniscule minority 
and any bickerings among us on matters too insignificant to discuss,
would only expose us as the laughing stock in the eyes of others. 
That is why, I coined and presented the following slogan-

"At least in the United states, let us be in the united state"

Hope this will be an eye opener for us and let us turn a new leaf 
in our mutual relations. It will be my pleasure and duty to be part 
of any endeaavors in this regard.

Dear All,
Sreemathe Ramanujaya Namaha:
This is an excellent suggestion. can all the Vaishnavagroups on the internet 
form a committe to work as an agitating group to pave way for a much wider 
discussions on this subject. A model code of conduct and a common minimum 
programme can be worked out to kick start this approach. Can we rise 
beyond our narrow outlook and widen our vision to greater vistas? This will 
be an excellent service to Emberumanar Sri Ramanuajar Himself.
This is a poser to members of all groups.
Adiyen,
Dasan,
Ramanujam.

>Dear All,
>
>Referring to all recent problems against Tirupathi Temple and other common 
>Sri Vaishnava issues, adiyEn would like to share my view.
>
>1. Why cant we have a Central Sri Vaishnava Forum or Committee
>    where all Sri Vaishnava Mutt heads inlcuding both kalais become
>    members. This commitee can decide and approve all the generic
>     vaishnava issues.
>
>Example 1: Tirupathi Temple issue,
>Example 2: To oppose to any magazines/Films etc which degrades
>                   SriVaishnavism.
>
>2. Committee chairman post can be of rotating type. One year
>     Vanamamalai Jeer Swami can head and next year Andavan swami
>     can head and it goes on to all the mutt heads on yearly basis.
>
>3. Committee can be a single unified voice against all issues.
>     Currently that is lacking which is misused  by all politicians, non
>     vaishnavaite mutt heads and magazines.
>
>4. Committee can initiate all generic steps to propogate Sri Ramanuja's
>     philosophy and implement and suggest right temple worships etc.
>
>5. Important factor for conversion in India is "Caste" This committee can
>     devise ways to reach people and clarify about varnashrama dharma
>     and stop the conversion. Current threat is that even divya desams are
>     filled by non hindus. At Thanjavoor, lot of places have already gone.
>     Divyadesam like thErezhundoor do have non hindus inside the main
>     veethi. If we do not stop, we can have the divyadesams on website
>     only.
>
>6.  Committee can setup a Research unit on Vedas and Divya
>     prabandams. Currently students out of padasalas are either becoming
>     archakas or purohitars(vaathyaars). Instead if select people are
>     involved in scientific research on Vedas and Prabandams, that will
>     support the teaching on vaishnavism.
>
>Please comment on this and if viable, we can take the idea to the acharyas.
>
>Thanks,
>Srinath.
