Guest guest Posted December 29, 1995 Report Share Posted December 29, 1995 >From my understanding of Thirumangai Azhwaar's story as posted by Dr V Sadagopan sometime back, his spouse was responsible in a positive way for Thirumangai Azhwaar's conversion into a Vaishnava. In the case of Ramanujacharya, his wife did everything to oppose Upacharam to Paramahamasas and Ramanuja finally had to get rid of her (pardon my language but that illustrates the point). So where does the question of spousal approval come in this case? Jaganath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the case of Thirumangai mannan, he cooperated with Kumudhavalli naachiyar. What came out of this is there for all to see. In the case of Sri Ramanuja he had to enter into sanyasam due to lack of cooperation. Most people would have acquiesced in favor of domestic peace. For performing even simple devotional activities cooperation between spouses is important. Not many would be prepared to enter into sanyasam in order to continue with devotional activties. This, was my point, not that these two great men needed the approval of their respective spouses. -- Dileepan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
