SRIMATHE RAMANUJAYA NAMAHA.    
 
Just happened to come across the folowing mails, while
going through the archeives.
In the last part of Ramayana (131 st sarga in Yuddha
khanda)valmiki speaks about the good things that
accrue to the one who reads or listens to Ramayana.One
among such goodies that he mentions is that devathas
like Vinayaka in his house become bright. (prasannam)

any explanation?

regards, 
jayasree

Srimatha Ramanujaya Namaha
Dear Shree Krishna,
The opening lines of the Shri Vishnu Sahasranamam is
not a salutary to Ganesha.
It is a salutory to Shri Vishwaksenar the senadhipadhi
of Lord Shriman Narayana.
We do the Vishwaksena upasanai during almost all our
rountine yagnas. And, I
recently heard from one of the best scholars of our
time that, Ganesha exist but
he is one of the member of the Siva Ganas and is not
the son of Shiva. There is
no relationship between Shiva and Ganesha and I heard
that it is not anywhere
specified in the vedas too. In puranas too(the
authenticate ones that Sri
Vaishnavas consider) only subrahmanyan is said to be
the son of Shiva.
Additional news was the the deity Iyappan does not
even exist and the whole
concept of Hari-Haran stuff is an absolute bluff. This
could be seen from the
fact that a. There is no history that says about
Iyappan b. you could not see
people with any of the names like hariharan or iyappan
of age more than 80 or
90. I heard that the concept of Ganesha as a son of
Shiva came up after the 10th
century and that of Iyappa came up in the 19th
century. Anyways, it is up to the
readers to find out how authenticate this information
is and not bounce on me
contradicting this:). Whatever I've said was what I
heard. Learned scholars
please correct me. Coming back to your point, it is a
salute to Shri
Vishwaksenar who we worship and he has the elephant
face. We have Vishwaksenar
in many temples and some have the moolavar with
elephant face and thiruman too.

Adiyen Ramanuja Dasan,
Lakshmi Narasimhan

Subject: Opening of Vishnu Sahasranamam...

Dear Sri Vaishnavas,

Everyone is quite familiar with the opening lines of
Vishnu Sahasranamam,
which is a salutary verse to Lord Ganesha. The role of
Lord Ganesha isn't
quite clear to me, especially when it comes to the
tradition of Sri
Ramanuja. [...]
