Dear Simathe Vedavelli Ranganathan,
There is a small correction which adiyen likes to point out in the following
post

Quote:
" Let me give you some
explanations as i know a little.VyasaDeva wrote all 18
puranas Six puranas each in  satwik nature , Rajasic
and Tamasic. and  he only wrote all vedas"


Unquote:
VyasaDeva never wrote any of the vedas. 
He only did the mammoth task of classifying the ever existing vedas into
Rig, Yajur, Sama and Atarvana.
He did the classification into Karma Kandam and Gnyana Kandam. 
Karma kandam relates to Yagas and Yagnyas which give material benefit, where
all the other deities such as sri Paramasivan, Srimathe Parvathy, Sri Skanda
etc are glorified.
But Gnyana Kandam relates to the Veda antham (end) that is why it is called
VedAntha. 
They try to explore the characteristic of the lord. But they succeed only to
a partial extent.
Vedas dont have any creater like our beloved Lord. They are suppose to be
the breath of the lord(Swasam of sriman Narayana).
Learned members of this group may throw more light on this.


Adiyen Ramanuja Dasan,
Varadarajan

Dear Vaishnava brother sunderrajan,,

                      Let me give you some
explanations as i know a little.VyasaDeva wrote all 18
puranas Six puranas each in  satwik nature , Rajasic
and Tamasic. and  he only wrote all vedas.Other than
in  Satwik puranas different kind of demigods are
glorified. In Devi Puranam Durga is glorified ,
Vinayaka in one and muruga in on and siva in one like
that. People who are in lower modes used to worship
these demigods thinking their worshiping deity is
supreme.Thats the problem still going on in India.
People worship according to their modes of nature..
And Finally vyasa was not satisfied and  at that time
Naradha Came there. and He asked the reason to Vyasa
and he told that he was unhappy though he has written
vedas and all puranas. then Naradha told him to write
about Bhagwan Sriman Narayana and , His lilas and
about His devottees. After Writing this Srimad
bhagwatham Vyasa felt happy because he wrote about the
Supreme truth.   .Perumal is blissful (Vibhu) and we,
being a part of him is Anu.As our atma is spiritual It
is happy when it is connected with Supreme  whole.
       Getting a birth of human being is very
rare.There are 4 lakhs species of human being.In this
human form of life getting a body  of a brahmana is
rare. Still getting a body of a Vaishnava is precious.
In Bhagwath Gita Krishna says A vashnava is not seen
by his caste or creed but only by his character. So
those who are born in Vaishnava family   should  try
to remain a pure Vaishnava in active life also. Vishnu
is superior to all demigods.He is trancadental to this
material world. Except Vishnu all the devas including
Siva is considered a demigod. He is in a high position
almost equal to Vishnu but not equal because he is
connected with material nature , Durga.He is the pure
devottee of Sankarshana,who is the supreme lord of Ego
and annihilation. Siva is always chanting the glories
of Sankarshana .Sankarshana is one of the forms
.(Vasudeva,sankarshana,Pradhumna and Aniruddha) of 
Chathur Vyuha .Durga, vinayaka,Muruga all these devas
also belong to this material world only.Sriman
Narayana alone belong to spiritual world or
Vaikuntha.He descends whenever there is necessary and
take avatharas according to that.

     People belong to different modes of nature , and
they worship according to their modes of  nature.Let
us all try to be  pure Vaishnavas and worship only
Lord Vishnu or Krishna or Rama or,Varadharaja,or
Narasimha or anyother Vishnu form we like.
