Dear sirs, If I don't hurt anybody, I would like to add some points here: In my limited study of the works of alvars, I see that they only use tamil-equivalents to the sanskrit names/terms. They don't use the exact Sanskrit names. At the very first instance, I could not understand what the term "Irudikesan" used in the very highly regarded "tirupallandu" meant. There are many many examples from the works of alvars like this. I remember that somebody wrote on "amaraprabhu" and "maraprabhu" story in some of the lists. Is it not just enough to meditate on the acharya/alvar or the Lord Himself when a name or its equivalent is heard? Or is it nice to concentrate only on the name and its mis-spelling and expose your erudition and hidden ego. If you want to do so, it is upto you. If you are hurt with this, then think of those who were hurt by your posting. Apart from these, if a "bhagavata" was hurt in this way, is this not a great mistake or as you would like to call it "Bhagavata apacharam"? I do not know where the other bhagavata commented on the name "sadagopan".But in my humble opinion, that bhagavata has committed a great mistake. While writing this, I would like to thank to the many humble bhagavatas for their excellent services, which helped me a lot to change myself. Another request to the Bhagavata "sadagopan". Please don't confuse yourself. Please continue with your existing name. It is easy for me to pronounce. I'm really sorry to intervene. But I thought it is needed indeed. Thanking you, G.Weichner .> As a school age child , I got used to writing my > name as "Sadagopan " because it was easier instead of > "Satakopan " or "SaThakOpan " and that version (Sadagopan)got > stuck in birth certificate , school records and Passport > et al.
