SRIMATE RAMANUJAYA NAMAHA Reaspected swami, I agree with you the present day status of srivaishnavas.If one is able to preserve his ananya bhati to lord SRIMAN NARAYANA ispite of visiting such temples,there is no harm in it.But generally one starts compromising & attempts to preserve HINDUISM rather that SRIVAISHNAVISM.One should no doubt serve HINDUISM but not at the cost of SRIVAISHNAVISM.Even in early days ,srivaishnavites gave monetary help to utsavas of anya devatas but will not participate in it & will not take the prasadam etc.As a responsible vaishnav,one has to encourage the theism among the masses.A person gradually evolves in this birth or many births to accept the paratva of SRIMAN NARAYANA & to develop ananya bhakti towards HIM. I have one suggestion .People living abroad can have satsang at ISKCON temples rather than visiting this multiplexes.ISKCON accepts paratva of Krishna & also they respect the srivaishnavites.ISKCON temples are widely spread.I know many srivaishnavites here in India who have joined the ISKCON movement.I am personally do not find any fault in it.They have not gone to advaitins,shaivites,shaktas.They are in the fold of vaishnavism. dasan Note: Forwarded message attached -- Orignal Message -- From: Tirumanjanam Kannan <try_kannan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: Vasan Sriranga Chari <vasan_chari_hk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Fw: [SriRangaSri] Re: Srimathe Ramanujaya Namah [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
