Dear Ms.Vidhyalakshmi
yr mail of 5th. It is a very pertinent question in the modern times.
Adiyen will try to give U , the clarification based on , the information
collected.
Yes. As a Srivaishnavite , we are supposed to worship Sreeman Narayanan only
and none else. He is the Purushothaman. However , as U say , there could be
many instances , when we would be put to situations as mentined by U. In such
driven circumstances , there is nothing wrong in going by guru's way, since
even with in those demigods , Sreeman Narayanan stays as Antharyami and all
our prayers reach HIm ultimately.
If U look into Bhagavad Gita , in Chapter 7, slokas 21 and 22 , Lord Krishna
clarifies this position. The only fact to be kept in mind is that , what ever
prayers we are forced to do to the demigods , due to circumstances beyond our
control, we should constantly chant within ourselves that those prayers are
ultimately addressed to Lord Sreeman Narayanan.
As a Srivaishnavan , it should not be our endeavour to hurt any one's
feelings , by telling that , we do not have faith in demigods .
However , if your guru has an open mind , probably you could discuss this
issue , separately with him and express your feelings, without hurting his.
Being a music teacher , he might appreciate your strong conviction and faith
on Lord Sreeman Narayanan.
There is nothing like OUR Bhagwan and others' Bhagwan. For all creations ,
Lord Sreeman Narayanan is the ONLY Bhagwan.
Trust the matter is clarified now.
