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!

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.
