MODERATOR'S NOTE:
Dear Bhagavatas:
May I invite your attention to my request that 
any further discussions on the subject may be 
done through personal mails?

====================================
Sir,
Thanks for your mail.Glad that you could understand the
difference between the three.By way of answering your question on the not
worshiping the other lords by srivaishnavas,I would like to point out that
everyone will agree that there can be one and only one God-the supreem
power.According to the vaishnavets it is THE GOD VISHNU is that one and only
one suprimum-THE PARAMAPURUSHA.
However,they have faith in and accept the puranas,that speak of
the various devatas.They believe that only Lord Vishun is the ultimate god
and the other devine beings are all devatantarams.
At the same time it is to be stressed that a true vaishnavan
will not,rather should not indulge in Sivanindana or dushana.Siva is also a
vaishanva, and thus He should be worshiped.The only thing,according to the
vaishnavas is that while worshiping Siva,the devotee should bear in mind
that Siva is the supreme srivaishanava desrving deep regard and respect.
I will explain in more detail in a seperate article.
with regards,
V.KANNAN
