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. Dasoham Anbil Ramaswamy ================================================================= 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.
