Guest guest Posted January 26, 1996 Report Share Posted January 26, 1996 Dear Vaishnavas, I've the following question which I had in my mind for a long time: From 1100 C.E onwards many Vaishnava temples including divyadeshams like Srirangam were overran by Muslim invaders and many of them were destroyed. Why did our Lord Narayana allow this to happen eventhough it caused so much distress to his dear bhakthas [like Sri Vedanta desikar] ? Even I feel anguished when I think about it. Sree NArayana is trigunaathitha and he is also Achutha. So whatever HE does is never never wrong. So can somebody enlighten me why such things happen. Maybe the answer is simple. While I'm at it I will also like to add the following comments on the discussions Ramayana. 1. In one of the sattivika puranas [Padma or Brahma or Narada; I don't remember which one exactly, i read them long back and hence can't quote exactly] Rama had to live in separation from Sita due to a curse Vishnu had from Tulasi. 2. Narayana or his avataras CAN NEVER BE WRONG IN ANY OF HIS ACTIONS. Also whatever HE does is consistent with all of his other lilas too. HE is supreme enough to do so. 3. Somebody made a comment that after the killing of RAvana, since the purpose of avatara is over we can treat Rama as just like a pious king [or something to this order. I didn't save that post]. He is no more to be treated as avatara. I simply don't understand how it can be so. -Vijayadamodar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a detailed and well written sthala puraaNam of Sri Rangam that appeared in Sri Nrusimha Priya access the thondar.busi.utc.edu ftp machine, look under 108cd/chola/srirang/np subdirectory and download the file spurana.txt file. -- Parthasarati Dileepan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 26, 1996 Report Share Posted January 26, 1996 > Same corollary can be speculated for the mogul's invasion of Sri Rangam temple ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I thought it was Malik Kafur, the general of Allauddin Khilji who overran Srirangam. That makes him an Afghan, but not a Moghul. The Moghuls are at least some 150 years later than the Khiljis. Vidyasankar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
