Dear Vikram ji, 
It is said in Sribhasya that Sudras can not do Bakthias it is said only for 
tri-varnikaas thats is bhramins kshatriyas and vaisyas.. THIS IS ALSO THE 
OPINION OF SANKARACHARYA ALSO. But every one can do PRAPATTI by surendreing him 
self to a ACHARYA. so swami RAMANUJA ha sstated though not openly, in sri 
basya. SWAMI DESIKA has reitereted this in his works.to quote one 
ANthaNar Anthiyar Ellaiyil niNdra aNaithhulagum nonthavare mudalaga nudangiya 
nanneriyaayi...... 
So ALL can perform PRAPATIand attain moksha so worshipping of ALWARS IS NOT 
wrongas they are mukthas 
kaasyapah

This is my first post to the list.

Dr. Radhakrishnan, in his book Indian Philosophy, Volume II, makes 
this curious statement about Acarya Ramanuja:

"Out of deference to tradition he concedes that freedom is open only 
to the three upper classes, and others will have to work their way up 
and wait for the next birth."
(p. 709)

1. Is this a correct reading? If so can someone please point to the 
section of the Sri Bhasya where he said this?

2. If it is true how does it reconcile with the worship of the 
Alwars, some of whom were Sudras?


Thanking all of the learned members in advance!


Vikram
