Makes you wonder, how can these sort of things happen in one of our three most 
important Divya Desams. A real sad incident, the person being chopped to 
pieces. And even worse, the temple priests are also suspected to be involved. 
 
It really affects one's psyche if he/she thinks that this gruesome incident 
happened at the temple of the same deity that spoke to Thiru Kacchi NambikaL 
and gave the Aru vArthai to our EmperunanAr. 
 
There needs to be a massive over-haul of the Sri VaishnavAs. Priestly duties 
shouldn't be just a mere 8-5 job. Talking nonsense and uttering gibberish in 
front of the deity is an everyday thing at most of the temples (unfortunately, 
one can observe such behavior even here in the US, anyway I don't want to open 
the pandora's box), not to forget all the stories of the priests swindling 
money and jewels.
 
What happened?? Priests are supposed to be the best friends of the Lord (simple 
logic: you become totally acquainted with the person whom you see the most, you 
become best friends with him naturally), and how can they even think of 
cheating the lord and the scores of devotees worshipping him?? Do they even 
think for one second, what these deities meant to Swami EmperumAnAr and the 
following AchAryAs? 
 
Soo many questions and "if only.....'s" in my mind.

Dasan,
Kidambi Soundararajan.
