SrimatE Raamaanujaaya Namaha SrimatE Nigamaanta Mahaa Desikaaya Namaha Srimate Sri Lakshminrisimha Divyapadukasevaka Srivan Satakopa Sri NarayanaYatindra Mahadesikaya namaha Dear Mr. A.Rangan / Bhagavathas, While I do not have any documentation from our sampradhayam to substantiate my views , I feel , by common sense and logic we can arrive at the conclusion , why "Kadal thandaradu", crossing the ocean is forbidden for us ? . As per our sampradhayam , we are all supposed to observe lots of discipline in our way of life through rituals , like doing the thrikala sandhya vandanam , performing our daily rituals , using only well water for our cookings , observance of strict discipline in our eating habits and worshiping only Sriman Narayanan in case of people who have taken Baranyasam ,etc. While all these could be well in our control , while we are in our native land , it would be rather difficult to observe strictly while we are in a foreign land , where we are likely to be dictated by the local rules of the land due to our various obligations . More over , travel to distant land in those days , was not that easy like today, where it might take number of days or even months to reach those land . So during travel , one might be required to dilute the observance of sampradhayam rules. Even today , when we travel to far east or west it takes more than 20 / 24 hours sometimes , even by fastest mode of travel and so there is a possibility of dilution. That is why that rule was made. If we have reached a stage , where we could demand the basic needs without any problem and get them , to observe our sampradhayam karmas , I do not think foreign travel is prevented since Sriman Narayanan is also the LORD of those land as well and spreading HIS glory in those areas is one of our kamyakarmas. I trust I am able to give a meaningful explanation for the query. Regards Ramanuja Dasan- G. Sampath.
