SRIMATHE RAMANUJAYA NAMAHA;
APPAN THIRUVADIGALE SARANAM


Dear Srivaishnavas, Accept my pranams.


It is not necessary to get panicked over a malicious, politically motivated 
publication. Even religeous groups who cannot digest the facts or face the 
facts squarly indulge in this kind of antics.


Vaishnavism exists from time immemorial. We can gather from Sangam Tamil 
litereature which are old enough and relate to a period prior to Buddha's 
birth, that worship of Thirumal( Sriman Narayana) was in vogue. Even during the 
days in which Buddhism and Jainism flourished, we gather from 'Silappathikaram'
( author is a Jain, Ilango Adigal) that Thirumal was worshiped in 
Thiruvengatam. Next to Srirangam Thirvengatam is the place which was sung by 
many of Our Azhvars. All our Achyaryas and many devotees ( both Vaishnaviteand 
others) throng Tirmalai and Thirupathi as the abode Sriman Narayana.It is very 
difficult to believe that all these people were mistaking a Buddist Vighrha as 
Sriman Narayana. SO BE REST ASSURED that we cannot go after each and every 
malocious publication. During Sri Ramanuja's period there was contoversy 
between Saivas and vaishnavas. It was settled as it should be. Even now, many 
other religeous teams are staking claims as a trial. Sweep them away and forget 
it.

So have an unassilable faith on Sriman Narayana and follow your path faithfully 
and honestly.

OR if you are of questioning type:

1.Have unassailable faith on Emperuman and Emperumanar and pray to them to 
guide in the correct direction.

2.Read the publication, collect all the materials which are to countered with a 
open mind . 

3. Seek the guidance of learned impartial authoritative guide to considerthe 
next course of action.

Even after such difficult steps, the other party will not yeild to your 
arguments. That is the present day trend. So let us forget this as a bad dream. 

Adiyen Ramanuja dasan. T.Parthasarathy.
