Dear Friends : I thank Sri MuraLi for letting us

know that the differences of opinions between

Sri RengarAjan and Sri Sudarshan are settled .

This is the best way to solve some of the unique

problems arising from the cyber communciations ,

which fails to convey the human aspects of the

communicators.The body language and the eye contact

that helps us to code correctly in personal,

face-to-face conversatons are totally missing

in cyber exchanges inspite of its other benefits.

This leads to some problems arising from the misreading

of the cues .

 

I want to add to Sri MuraLi's note about

the services that Sri RengarAjan has renderd

and continues to render out of his firm

commitment to the tenets of Sri Vaishnava

sampradhAyam . When I was in the middle of fund raising for

Sri Oppiliappan"s RathnAngi Kaimkaryam , he came to the rescue

with a generous donation in a trice . Before I met him

in person at Buffalo for the first time , I had an

entirely different impression of him based on

the many postings on the net that I was very happy to read

and learn . I am fortunate to know him as a

person of devout faith and caring ways.We are lucky to

have fellow members of similar faith and geenrosity

in this group .

 

Sri Sudarshan is another valued member of this group.

He has a unique way of approaching issues related

to Sri VaishNavism and personalize it to integrate

them for his own saadhanA and share it with us.

He has been kind enought to share his thoughts

with all of us and asks many provoking questions.

His acute sense of analysis and skills at narration

helps to look dioctrines in a different way .

 

IN summary , Both these members like every members

of the Bhakthi group bring a point of view that is

looking at a doctrine from either a sampradhAyic

or modern way . I am convinced that no harm is done

to the time tested doctrines of Sri VaishNavism

by any sincere approach to understand them and

use them for one's own spiritual progress .

 

We are just a small group of 100 people, who

belong to this special group . All of us have

been fortunate to have had a lot of material ,

educational and spiritual blessings compared to

many all over the world. If we can not establish

nurturing conversations with sensitivity to the

other point of view , I wonder who can !

 

With that note , I would like to conclude this posting

and request that we contribute to the enriching of the

dialog on Sri VaishNavism and its glorious sampradhAyam

nourished by many AchAryAs over many centuries.

Dear Friends,

 

I was very pleased to learn from Sri Rengarajan that he was able to

amicably sort out differences of opinion with Sri Sudarshan through

a personal conversation. I have known Sri Rengarajan for a couple of

years now and I have been following his posts with great interest from

the time I joined the group. I have found him to be an extremely sincere and

devout Sri Vaishnava. He has never intended to hurt anyone's feelings or

sentiments. His depth of commitment to Bhagavad and Bhagavata Kainkaryam

has been of the highest order, in keeping with the AruL Mozhigal of his

Acharyan. His support for Sri Vaishnava causes both in India and the USA

have been generous, spontaneous and exemplary. In fact, it was only because

of his tireless enthusiasm, support and encouragement that I was able to

undertake the Kainkaryam of the Chillarai Rahasyam publication for Srimad

Paundarikapuram Ashramam. His Tala Puranam summaries (containing hard-to-come

by information) have had a positive impact on several people in this forum as

well as outside, as a result of which many have made/have undertaken to make

pilgrimages to these Kshetrams.

 

I have disagreed with him on several issues and sometimes vehemently too.

However in each instance, both of us have recognized that neither of us

intends any malice towards the other.

 

I request Sriman Rengarajan to continue his informative posts based on

his AtmArtha Anubhavam of the Lord of TiruviNNagaram.

 

Namo Narayana,

 

Muralidhar Rangaswamy
