Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha 
Srimathe Nigamantha Maha Desikaya 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. 

Regards

Adiyen , Ramanuja Dasan ,
