Sri: Srimathe Ramanujaya nama: Dear Sriman Raghavan, Humble praNAms to you. I'm just sharing my views. Well, all my views are someone else's. In principle, nothing is original! > The solution lies in uniting all of us under one roof. > No thengalai, no vadagalai, accept the state of the > temples as today, no matam no ashramam no difference > at all between us. How do we plan to incorporate/implement this "no difference" business? Before making any global changes we have to take care of the local changes for example at home. Is this non-difference(or no difference as you put it)at physical/AtmA level or sampradAyic level (some of the customs that are existing today)? Let us forget about the AtmA level for the time being. Let us consider some of the practices(sampradAyam) within SriRamanuja sampradAyam. On the assumption that there is no difference, if a kid,sees two persons, following two different traditions(sect), prostrating before the Lord differently and asks the question, then would we answer that kid one equals two/four? Or we may dodge the question or give some vague answer to the kid. We will only create more confusion in the mind of the kid. But, by psychoanalysis, this will have a catastrophic effect on the kid in the log run. How do we plan to handle the "already" existing differences? Certain things are easier said than done. In every field there are experts. The best is to follow an expert in the respective fields. AzhvAr emperumAnAr jIyar thiruvadigaLE sharaNam dAsAnu dAsI NC Nappinnai ------------------------ Yahoo!
