Mr. Sudarshan's postings on Jatayu Moksham

[Guest guest]

I would like to concur with Mr. Sadagopan's comments, and request Mr.

Sudarshan to continue with this interesting discussion.

 

Mr. Sudarshan's sudden decision to discontinue his postings on the subject

came as a disappointment for me. For I have been reading his postings with

much interest, and was waiting for more detailed discussion on Jatayu's

actions, their connection to Dharma, and the "qualifications" for Moksha

based on these. It would have been interesting to see an alternative view

of the subject, particularly if it had been based on such noted

intellectuals as Sir Srinivasa Sastry.

 

As can be seen from Mr. Sadagopan's translation of Swamy Desikan's

Raghuveera Gadyam, the wondrous story of our Lord in His Avathara as Sri

Rama is a paradigmatic work on prapatti. Each incident is filled not only

with deep moral messages, but also profound descriptions of our Lord's

Kalyana Gunas and His relationship to His devotees. I believe that further

study of just this one incident of Jatayu Moksham would be beneficial to the

entire group. While I cannot deny that there may be some debate, I think

that if such debate were done with respect for each other and out of

adoration for Him, it would provide us with a better understanding of some

important tenets of our Philosophy.
