Srimathe Lakshminrismha Divya Paduka Sevaka Srivan Satakopa Sri Narayana yateendra Maha Desikaya Namaha!
Dear Ms. Nalini Anand
Asservathams to you and Anand.
You
need not feel shy about marrying an Iyengar boy , being an Iyer . So
long as , one respects truly the vows taken before Agni Bhagawan during
marriage , one need not feel ashamed of any action. Krishna expects
that every one should follow the doctrines laid down by Him in the
sruthis and smirithis. This is what He narrates in the Bhagavad Gita.
Adiyen
appreciates your desire to know about the Srivaishanva sampradayam to
respect your husband's beliefs .This is the basic requirement of a Sri
Vaishnavan. Glad you have that attitude.
Anyhow if you go to the site
< www.ahobilamutt.org> , you would find two articles on Sri
Vaishnavism and the requirements of a Srivaisnavan . That should give
an idea. Otherwise , there is a CD available in Kinchitkaram Trust in
Chennai , where in Swami Velukkudi Krishnan has rendered a 3 hour
lecture in English on ' Visishtadvaitham' and also another CD on '
who is a true Sri vaishnavan' . These should help.
