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
