Swmin's This state where Emperuman gets into one self, or what is called divine experiance is true. We know how Seshadri swamigal was decieved by HIM in the form of a Chandala. But, this behaviour of people claiming him to be inside and terrifying others is entirely out of charecter with HIM.We have alwars, we had Dhruva and others before in whom all Emperuman resided.But then the beauty of it is that when he is inside he attracts all the other Jivas to him. He never trrifies. This was true even with Ramakrishna, Chandrashekara saraswati and others who made all jivas irrespective of caste creed or religion to come close and not terrify.

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.
