Sri Parthasarathi thunai Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha Dear Sri Soundararajan >> It has become a practice to perform Saranagathi at a very early age. The ceremony of undergoing pancha samskaram can be done at any age. It is only the identity card to enter the college of Srivaishnavism. But only when we learn the lessons under our acharya properly and mentally get prepared to take the test kept by the chief Sri Parthasarathi we become true srivaishnavas and when emperuman becomes happy with us and due to the purushakAram of thayar and our acharya emperuman gives the Srivaishnava the pass mark and grants us moksha. So actual saranagathi is the mental state. >>the fear for anya dEvatAs? If they TRULY believe in HIM, why should these things be taken into consideration. The devatas work under the emperuman. The rules have been framed by the supreme lord and he is the antaryami of all the devatas and hence acts as the driving force. Actually true Srivaishnavas who have total faith in emperuman need not see any jathakam or nEram kAlam to do anything, if they do anything as bhagavat sankalpam and as service to the lord. Here i do not mean to say that jathakam, ragu kalam etc are fake and dont have effect. Astrology is true and various kala doshangal also exist. But when we say a Srivaishnava need not see them it means emperuman does it on our behalf. If we have the mahavishvasam that what ever happens is bhagavat sankalpam and that he is always there to protect us then there is absolutely no need to see any jatakam and even if we dont see the match will be prefect since no astrologer can be better than Sri Parthasarathi himself. But as you said a chevvai dosha bride and non cheevai dosha bridegroom cannot marry since it will give its effect. If such a thing happens in a Srivaishnava family then what else it could be than bhagavan's leela ofcourse he will only play but surely give his hand in need. In Mahabharatha, sahadeva was supposed to be the best scholar. Even duriyodhana came to him to get a good date for his bali, so that he can win. Even such a great astrologer couldnt predict that he had a brother. After karna's death sahadeva tore off all his jhodhisha material. Only a part of it was saved by his shisyas that is why even today the jhostisha available to us is only partly and that is why many a times mistakes arise in prediction. Jhodhisham has become half true and half false. But jhodhisham is one of the 6 angas of the vedas. In the case of Srivaishnavas, they consider emperuman to be their protector and hence the navagrahas and even eman fear to come near them. Like even in lowkikam, though only the prime minister has the power people give due respects to his relatives and close friends too. But still the rules of the country holds good for each one of them. Alwar EmperumAnAr Jeeyer thiruvadigalE sharanam Adiyen Ramanuja Dasyai Sumithra Varadarajan Yahoo!
