srImathE rAmAnujAya namah. dear devotees, a poster had asked a question of why there are many posts on nAlAyira divya prabhandham vyAkhyAnams (periya thirumozhi and thiruvAymozhi related) during the anadhyayana kAlam on some lists - especially when the custom seems to be not to recite the nAlAyiram, and not do anubhavam of the nAlAyira divya prabhandha vyAkhyAnams during this time (with certain exceptions during the month of mArgazhi). adiyEn cannot speculate on other lists. As far as the Ramanuja list is concerned, here is why we are allowing the posts - (i) According to some scholars, the non-recital of divya prabhandham and non-anubhavam of nAlAyira divya prabhandham vyAkhyAnams certainly is a custom being followed. (ii) Some others have told us that the non-anubhavam of vyAkhyAnams is not the custom, and in fact, anubhavam of vyAkhyAnams is encouraged. We have seen several upanyAsams during this period that quote extensively from our nAlAyira divya prabhandham and its vyAkhyAnams (after all, what upanyAsam is possible without the anubhavam of our AzhvArs?). (iii) Given the above uncertainities, we really did not want to impose the custom on our posters. We provided the guidance given by the two scholars we solicited opinion from (srI vELukkudi svAmi and srI VPS Varadhan svAmi), and we will leave it to the posters discretion. After all, they may get guidance from scholars they know, and they may have gotten the guidance that vyAkhyAna anubhavam is ok. (iv) Bhagavad anubhavam comes through His krupa. If it is His krupa that we get to enjoy bhagavad anubhavam via the posts of our posters during this time, in the absence of a clear cut rule, we do not want to stand in the way of bhagavad anubhavam. adiyEn rAmAnuja dAsan, varadhan ------------------------ Yahoo!
