The Lord of Kaanchi, Sri Varadaraja (pEraruLaaLap perumaaL), was in the habit of directly speaking to Sri Tirukkacchi Nambi in contradiction of normal conventions ("archaavataara mariyaadhaiyai meeRi"). Once, upon Emperumaanaar's request, Nambi addressed six questions to the Lord. One of them concerned 'andhima smrithi' or last thoughts. The Lord told Nambi directly that there is no need for andhima smrithi. Srinivasan > What is the time limit? Being a bhakta for a short while is enough? This is the beaty of Hinduism, full of such contradicting statements. I think my lessons in Aryamadhopakyna classes taught that all are defined with respect to time and place, unlike Chrisianity which depends on the only truth etc. Krish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
