Thondar Uhakkum Nin Thunai Adi Vaazhi Dear Bhagavathas, I endorse the views of Shri Suresh. Shri Rohit, in his anxiety, has exceeded his brief a bit. It is understandable. Tolerance is the basic mantra of our Religion. Our Poorvacharyas also preached and practised. Then why should we stray? In our own Vaishnava sampradaya, there are lots of difference of opinion. Even now Desika sampradaya practitioners are not recognised in Thennacharya Goshtis in Divya Desams. This is more pronounced in North of Tamil Nadu than South. Though it is prevalent to some extent in South, it is not that rampant as in Northern part of Tamil Nadu. Are we not tolerating ? Many of our Acharyas have tried to build bridges. But, nothing much has happened. However, we eulogise our own sampradaya while at the same not trying to decry the other. We are ill-fit to even think about it. Acharyas of both the Sampradaya (Swami Desikan, Swami Mamuni) have rendered yeoman service to the cause of our philosophy. It is my humble submission that we should try to work in unison and understand each other and eradicate attempts to widen the gulf. After all, the ultimate aim is Paratatva Nirnayam of Lord Sriman Narayanan. Why should we even think of our faiths, while we are yet to set our own house in order. If I am wrong, please pardon me and correct me. Let us all avoid such references and work towards propagation of our Acharyas' teachings and be their true followers.
