Thanks for sri Vasu Venkatraghavan for the clarification.  tradition just because it was followed by ancestors does not mean anything. tradition has to be evaluatedin the light of shaastras.  I seriously advice everyone to make effort to learn the essence of our shastras.  WE are bringing so many learned scholars and acharyas on the teleconference.  If you do not want to quit US and go to india to study under acharyas, at least make effort to listen to their lectures and learn these issues.  strictly speaking one should not even have such doubts after prapatti. before prapatti itself one has to make effort to find out what it is about. this can be done  by effort. to come to US one takes up exams such as GRE, GMAT etc. to go to vaikuntam one has to work  to understand what the paths are.  One has to clearly know what is bhakti yogam, prapatti etc. Every attainment here or hereafter requires some sacrifice.  Even getting a job requires effort.  Hence I suggest everyone to focus and learn some details deeply regarding prapatti. there are a number of books also. However learning under gurus is definitely preferableand books should be used only for additional clarifications or anusandhanam - practice.
 
Dr. NS anantharangachar is teaching sharangati gadyam - the essence of the theory and practice of sharanagathi or surrender.  Please look into bhaktilist postings and probably there will be a class next week.

I was faced with a similar situation, it has been a practise to have the babies tontured at a temple of one devathanthram in our ancestoral village. Even veru orthodox person such as my grand father had suscribed to such acts in the past. Recently when i had an occassion, I made a mention about this to H.H. Azagiya Singar- my acharya. "koodathu ethavathu nadakkum endru nee ninaithaal lakshmi nrusimhan jawab" (Strict No, if you feel there could be any unplesant conseqences, Lord Lakshmi Nrusimhan will take the responsibility.) was his reply.
The main tenet of saranagathi is Maha Viswasam. There is one God and none to whom we shall pray except his own bakthas.
Saranagathi is done for obtaining moksha. Puthukku Paal are all done expecting results such as health, wealth, children etc., Para Nyasam is done to surrender our soul to the Lord and seek Him. Other karmas such as puthukku paal would be a barrier in performing saranagathi.
It is common knowledge that it is only Sriman Narayana who grants what ever is prayed to the other devathanthrams

Subject: [SriRangaSri] Question related to Bharniyasanam

Dear group members,
If a person has had bharniyasanam from HH Acharyas, can that person
get involved with "puthukku paal"if it was being followed from
ancestors who also had bharniyasanam, sothat traditions would be
maintained?
Thank you all very much,
Regards
adiyen
