Sri: SrimathE RAmAnujAya nama: Dear Sri Parthasarathy, Excellent,beautiful,wonderful. My small mind could see certain things only after reading your post. I would be happy if dEvarIr answers my questions wrt our sampradAyam. (i)In our sampradAyam,is samAshrayaNam itself prapatti? These are all very subtle topics to grasp(esp prapatti) for me. In my understanding prapatti is a mental state. Can you please tell in simple words? Your last passages didn't get into my head clearly. From my own personal experience I have realized that no matter how much effort I put nothing works out. This clearly shows that everything happens only if HE wishes it happen. (ii)From when sARRumuRai started? (iii)Did bhaktAs wear TirumaN prior to RAmAnujA's period? Also my mother used to tell that RAmAnujA was the one who started it(just before he undergoes samAshrayaNam and he meets thAyAr and varadar in the guise of old couple who ask RAmAnujA to fetch water). (iv)On behalf of all devotees,I request you to give commentaries on NDP. What ever is convenient that suits your time,can be taught. Your words regarding current generations lacking knowledge in samskrt and tamil applies to me. One of my favorite pasuram is AmalanAdipirAn and chant it daily knowing the meaning very...superficially. All I realize is that though it's concise,it looks like punch lines(essence of the vEdAs). In simle words TiruppAN AzhwAr concluded saying that the eyes that had seen Lord Ranganatha will not look at anythingelse. I am now learning RN and URM through Sri MAV's casette.
