Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha Srimathe Nigamantha Maha Desikaya Namaha Srimate Sri Lakshminrisimha Divyapadukasevaka Srivan Satakopa Sri NarayanaYatindra Mahadesikaya namaha Dear Bhagavathas, Recently I had come across some instances where , people by virtue of their faith in deity , claim that at certain instances , the deity itself come on them and they start behaving as if they are Almighty and the priests start worshipping them , showing 'arti' etc. Some times persons become very ferocious and others looking at or near by start trembling. We have read in books that Alwars due to their immense involvement and dedication in Lord , forgot themselves and went in to a state of 'trans' . I do not know whether we could equate the present behaviour to that state of Alwars . While I am not questioning the validity or sincerity of the faith in Almighty by these kinds of persons, people even call them as blessed persons , I feel that such state in present day circumstances could be due to combining effect of the person's involvement and faith in respective demigods / God coupled with his poor state of health . Will some one clarify , whether such states are accepted in our srivaishnava culture or if so , the reason for such behaviour of those persons. This question is not to HURT any one's faith or deminish the level of faith in God or to question the validity .It is only to get clarified on a query , which I have been having for quite some time.
