Dear Bhagavatas:
The question has been answered already by saying that we should 
follow the guidance given to us by Azhwars as explained in my previous mail. 

Let us have the courage and strength to change what we can change.
Let us have the cognition that certain things are beyond us to change.
Let us be discreet enough to differentiate between the two.

Dale Carnegie once said-
"Do you wish to correct someone? 
It is, no doubt, a good idea. 
But,why not start it on yourself?"

Let us correct our personal attitudes by following the example of Azhwars 
and leave the rest to Bhagavaan.

The discussion on the subject is hereby closed in "Sri Ranga Sri"
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Anbil Ramaswamy

You are all aware that when Lord's Brahmotsavam takes place all the 
33 crore devathas are invited to participate and a daily ritulal 
called 'Baliharanam' where in prasadam of the Lord is distributed to 
all the invitee devathas. Each Devatha has a stipulated place in the 
prakaram of the temple and also has a small Bali peetham for them 
(many a times not explicit). Under such a precinct one can extend 
this to a small sannidhi and a balipeetham for this purpose. In 
otherwords all the devathas can be regular invitees to Lord's daily 
utsavam and under the orders of Vishvaksena can be recepient of 
Lord's prasadam, i.e., bali daily.

Dear member,
Your point is well made, but I think the issue at hand is not whether 
33 crore 'devatAs' are on the approved list of guests for the 
temple "brahmOtsavam". The real debate is about whether the "Agama 
sAstra" permits indiscriminate proliferation of subsidiary "sannidhi-
s" within a Shiva, "perumAl" or Devi temple so as to result in the 
unfortunate erosion or mutilation of the essentially monotheistic 
character of the Vedic faith -- that very faith which the temple is 
actually meant to represent or symbolize.
I hope the exact terms of reference of the ongoing discussion is now 
clear.

Thanks and regards,

dAsan,
Sudarshan
