Dear Sri Vishnu, > Instead, such > people from non-SV families are also putting condition on the > Acharyas "Do me samASrayaNam". Acharya is the right judge. A small correction. There is no such thing as a Shri Vaishnava Family or a non-SV family. Only varnams are family based. One becomes a Shri Vaishnava only by qualities and acharya kadaksham. And as you rightly said, an Acharya is the right judge to perform a samashrayanam anyways.
