Jai Srimannarayana!! The last sentence in your mail is the first and last and most appropriate message for a real Srivaishnavite who does Saranagati to Lord Srimannarayana through Acharya who belongs to the lineage of Acharyas of Bhagawad Ramanuja Sampradaya. How to encompass other deities follows the Bhagawadaaraadhana vidhi followed by one's own Acharya. There is no scope for personal interpretation. Any logics and analogies provided in support of the Bhagawadaaraadhana vidhi should be taken posistively in line with the Sampradayam and convincing clarifications can be obtained from one's own Acharya. Another Analogy which may not answer all the questions but may rise some more questions if not taken in true spirit. is as follows Clemency from Death Sentence can be given only by the President of India and cannot be given by any other person whoever he may be in the Hierarchy of the system of the Republic of India. Similarly Moksha (which again to be understood through Sadacharya) to the sinners like me can be given only by none other than Lord Srimannarayana (as defined in vedas, Upanishads, itihaasas, sattvic puranas etc) and through none other than the lineage of Bhagawad Ramanujacharyas (This is the easiest and safest way if accepted in toto to start with instead of waiting till convincing replies are obtained - as our switch off dates are unpredictable and we are akin to riding on double edged swords supported by a single strand of hair while our knowledge/efforts are limited and our past/present/future mistakes/aparaadhams/sins unlimited) Adiyen's request for any body including me is not to come to conclusion in contrary to the above without solid/valid/thorough reasons to the contrary.
