Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya nama:
Dear Lakshmi Narasimhan,
Accept my pranams. I am of the opinion that Ramanuja 
sampradayam is not only a philosophical theory but also a practical 
one. But if someone says that Ramanuja sampradaya is "only" 
for "knowledge" purpose but when it comes to practise one strictly 
has to go by varNAshrama,I regret to say that I don't buy such 
statements. We seem to disagree along these lines. And I personally 
have come across iyengars(TK and AcArya puruSha family! and VK's are 
not excluded)who are experts in making "buttering" statements with 
regard to Ramanuja sampradayam on one side and varNAshrama on the 
other side. But I believe in AH 85.

With whatever little knowledge I have,of our sampradayam, I 
try to practise. You seem to be an expert in reading in between the 
lines(in fractions and continued fractions)of my post. I do not think 
it is worth to continue this discussion of "mAyA" sita further or 
posts related to "mAyA" in the sense of ShankarAcArya and I'm closing 
this topic from my side. Everybody is entitled to stick to his/her 
own views about it and follow whatever sampradayam one/Lord wants. I 
am only interested in learning about our sampradayam from a person 
who practises what he teaches/preaches.
