Members may kindly recall query regarding the
need for "Acharyan" in view of

a) Paramatma being closer to a Jevvatman than what
any other Jeevcatman can possibly be as illustrated
by the incident of the first three Alwars meeting in 
a small room

and b) the kalyana guna- "Saushilyam" of the Lord.


Swami V. Krishnan, who was recently in Bombay,

was kind enough to clarify in an informal meeting, as
follows:

Refering to Pillai Ulaga Ariyar's Shri Vachana
Bushanam (Sutra 442) he said that just as a lotus
can bloom in the presence of the Sun only if it is
rooted in water but gets dried up in no time if the 
water is drained so also a jeevatma needs the grace
of 
God and Acharyan.

Adyen Ramanuja Dasan,

A.K. Devarajan
