Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya nama:
OM NAMO BHAGAVATE VASUDEVAYA

Dear Moderator/bhAgavatAs,
This is just a view from my side wrt opening the 
site to all and also "kalai" disputes. I kindly request all 
to go through and make an unbiased judgement and also from the 
viewpoint of knowledge(HE is satyam,jn~yAnam,anatam).

Don't shy away from "kalai" disputes;instead try to find a solution.
that should be the motto!

(i)Many, incl. of VK's and TK's and other people from non-sv 
background,don't know their own sampradAyam(for that matter our own 
religion!). So this list should be open to all who want to 
learn "srivaishNava" sampradAyam.

(ii)Should deal with Ramanuja's works and other pUrvAchAryAs works 
dating pre- and post- Ramanuja's period. 

(iii)Kalai differences(doctrinal)should be dealt,whoever is 
interested in knowing the same and also the existing facts,
(based on historical records)for example "kanceepuram" case, should 
come to the lime light. Let us not forget that "devotees of VAsudEvA 
fear not any". Many people may not be aware of the historical 
evidence of the kancheepuram temple. So you have to educate people 
with the "right" facts and knowledge. I came to know that TVS is 
involved in some divya desa kainkaryams. You never know what's going 
to be the outcome of all these "external" help! Changing "what is 
already there" into "somethingelse" is like plagiarising someoneelse 
thesis and claiming it as one's own. Disputes exist even today 
because of this tresspass,dishonesty and the unreasoning of the 
mass/individual. Imagine how one would feel if one's own property is 
seized! I know so many people who say they are beyond kalai disputes. 
If I seize their family property,will they still say that they are 
beyond family values and they don't give a damn to what happens to 
their family?? It's easier to preach than to practise. No one is 
a "krSNA paramAtmA".

PS:So from the technical/philosophical aspect and the historical 
evidence that "kalai" disputes should be encouraged not otherwise.

(iv)As far following a sampradAyam,it should be left to the 
individual. After all God is an internal feeling. No one can force a 
person to follow "something" without the "grace" of antaryAmin! 

This is just a "free" expression/thought of mine. Since it's free 
expression one should remember that it may not be agreeable to all!
