Jai Srimannarayana!!

The last sentence in your mail is the first and last and most
appropriate message for a real Srivaishnavite who does Saranagati to
Lord Srimannarayana through Acharya who belongs to the lineage of
Acharyas of Bhagawad Ramanuja Sampradaya. How to encompass other
deities follows the Bhagawadaaraadhana vidhi followed by one's own
Acharya. There is no scope for personal interpretation. Any logics
and analogies provided in support of the Bhagawadaaraadhana vidhi
should be taken posistively in line with the Sampradayam and
convincing clarifications can be obtained from one's own Acharya.

Another Analogy which may not answer all the questions but may rise
some more questions if not taken in true spirit. is as follows
Clemency from Death Sentence can be given only by the President
of India and cannot be given by any other person whoever he may be
in the Hierarchy of the system of the Republic of India.
Similarly Moksha (which again to be understood through Sadacharya)
to the sinners like me can be given only by none other
than Lord Srimannarayana (as defined in vedas, Upanishads,
itihaasas, sattvic puranas etc) and through none other than the
lineage of Bhagawad Ramanujacharyas (This is the easiest and safest
way if accepted in toto to start with instead of waiting till
convincing replies are obtained - as our switch off dates are
unpredictable and we are akin to riding on double edged swords
supported by a single strand of hair while our knowledge/efforts
are limited and our past/present/future mistakes/aparaadhams/sins
unlimited)

Adiyen's request for any body including me is not to come to
conclusion in contrary to the above without solid/valid/thorough
reasons to the contrary.

Jai Srimannarayana
