Dear Bhagavathas,
Recently I had come across some instances where , people by virtue of their
faith in deity , claim that at certain instances , the deity itself come on
them and they start behaving as if they are Almighty and the priests start
worshipping them , showing 'arti' etc. Some times persons become very
ferocious and others looking at or near by start trembling.
We have read in books that Alwars due to their immense involvement and
dedication in Lord , forgot themselves and went in to a state of 'trans' . I do
not know whether we could equate the present behaviour to that state of Alwars
.
While I am not questioning the validity or sincerity of the faith in Almighty
by these kinds of persons, people even call them as blessed persons , I feel
that such state in present day circumstances could be due to combining effect
of the person's involvement and faith in respective demigods / God coupled
with his poor state of health .
Will some one clarify , whether such states are accepted in our srivaishnava
culture or if so , the reason for such behaviour of those persons.
This question is not to HURT any one's faith or deminish the level of faith in
God or to question the validity .It is only to get clarified on a query , which
I have been having for quite some time.
Regards
Adiyen , Ramanuja Dasan ,
