SRIMATHE RAMANUJAYA NAMAHA:
APPAN THIRUVADIGALE SARANAM

Dear Moderator, Regarding polls for opening ?Ramanuja groups? wide open.

The page meant for polls is not opening. Hence this reference.

A welcome step; But mails projecting thoughts affecting the basic philosophy of 
Visishtadhvaitham are not to be entertained. For instance, the status of ?Sri?. 

VK group desire to project ?Sri? as equal to Emperuman. TK group in noway wish 
to undermine the status of Piratti. Emperuman does all according to her wish. 
Still, as there can be ONLY ONE EASWARA THATHVAM there is no chance to afford 
THAT status to Piratti. . This debate is going for a long time and there will 
be no end to this. Two years ago an attempt was made andSri Puttur swamy has 
given a fitting rejoinder to that move The issue now lies dormant. It may take 
life again at any time. If this kind of thought is propagated it will negate 
the basic philosophy. Now, Piratti, later it may be some other Nithya Suri. The 
whole philosophy will be a mockery. If VK School wants to maintain their stand 
let it be propagated in their media and it is up to their followers to believe 
it or not. At the same time our stand is to be explained to our people so that 
they may not get misguided.

In respect of matters relating to opinion, Articles should not be a mere 
wish.It should justify their stand with reference to accepted authorities and 
that too should not contradict the views of Poorvacharys. VK school can hold 
their opinion. We need not interfere in it. For instance, Nirhetguka krubai/ 
sahethuka krubai. We give respect to Arulicheyal. In fact, Vaishnavam is in 
existence from time immemorial. But, Sri Vaishanvam has its genisis on 
Arulicheyals which inspired Sriman Natha Munikal to propagate it. It is 
Acharyas, especially Poorvacharyas who explained to the world that these Tamil 
songs are embedded in Vedic Philosophy and not mere songs of emotions The first 
commentary by Thirukurugai piran pillan is very short and also contains many 
sanskrit words. Lateron
Nampillai has done a wonderful job Though it is in Manipravalam, it is a 
treasure to be protected. Whoever disagrees with this are unfortunate lot. 
Inthis context let me state one incident. Sri. U.Ve. Swaminatha Iyer, 
TamizhThatha, was approached by one of his patrons to write commentaries 
similarto this for Saiva religion. Tamizh Thatha replied that those Vaishnavite 
Acharyas are masters of both sanskrit and Tamizh whereas he was competent todo 
something in Tamizh. If the request is insisted, he will consider committing 
suicide (perhaps as a joke).

Divya desams. Please avoid articles relating to quarrels ( Smt. Vaidehi madam, 
Pl excuse me.).Temples are places of worship.But,they carry lot of endowments, 
power,prestige and means of livelihood.Any body, other than those with 
missionary zeal, is tempted to enter into the seat of power. In my opinion this 
is the hidden primary cause for the rivalry between TK and VK schools of 
thoughts. Let us not open Pandora?s box.

Personal attacks or casting aspersions on Acharyas should not be encouraged.

Any article by any body for the promotion of Srivaishnavism supported by 
admitted authority is welcome.


Adiyen, Ramanuja dasan, T.Parthasarathy
