Dear Srinivasa Raghavan swamin thank you for correcting me. Please next time correct adiyen in the forum so that all of us are updated. adiyen has no ego not in this sastang. adiyen is prone to mistakes. what adiyen meant was to eliminate the difficulty faced by Sriman Narayana in divya desam lacking a dutiful archakar, acook and even modest nithya aradhanam. This is a passionate topic as we can see from the copious outpouring. And in this hurry some mistakes (costly) creep in. Please do correct me everytime. adiyen must but is not doing appropriate proof reading. With your help we could have a better communication.
