Guest guest Posted March 13, 1997 Report Share Posted March 13, 1997 Mani writes <I never stated that a Sri Vaishnava acharya taught that mantras should be uttered for results. I was merely restating what people in the general Sri Vaishnava population say. I have no idea whether an acharya has taught this way or not. > Most of the mantras and compositions end with the sloka on the results that are expected from them Saharanamam is a good example: sick relief from pain, artha-seekers wealth and so on. I recall a family llore, a cousin of mine at 12 or 13 filled up his examination paper with Sri Ramajayam instead of anwers. He might have flunked the test but was fairly successful in life. One is agoal seeker of mundane things or moksha. And our prayers do promise relief. And acharyas do advice prayers and anushtanams. All our attempts are effectively ways to satisfy our own thoughts, which are controlled by the PUPPETEER. Krishan Praba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
