Prapatthi & Bhakthi Yogams

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends :

 

Sri Raja KrishNaswamy is very gracious

to accept the point mentioned in the private mail

in the spirit in which it was intended. Thanks,

Sri Raja KrishNaswamy . I have one or two

suggestions on how to go about collecting this

information .

 

Sri Badri SeshAdri is so close to our AchAryAs .

Perhaps , he can do us all a great favor by

approaching , if accessible in space and time ,

an AchAryA like H.H. The jeeyar of Ahobilam or

one of the Revered Aandavans of Srirangam and

summarize for us the authoratitive views of one

sampradhAyam and then help us all to benefit from

the other point of view from the VaanamAmalai Jeeyar .

This will be ideal , if it could be accomplished .

I am suggesting this only because Sri Badri Seshadri

is located in India and is closer than any one of us

geographically to the Acharyaas .

 

Equally valuable would be for a scholar like Sri Anbil SwamigaL(AS) ,

who has benefitted from KaalakshEpams from more than one

AchAryA of our paramparai and help us learn about answers to

Sri Badri's Questions . In my mind , Sri AS is the most Qualified one

to explain the tenets as taught by the Vadakalai sampradhAyam .

Sriman Sundararajan of Srirangam /Tennessee could equally enrich

our knowledge on the Tenkalai sampradhAyam . This way , we will

get the best of both points of views and understand the subtelities

and feel comfortable with whichever appeals to us emotionally

and intellectually .

 

Driven by a similar quest to get authentic inputs , I have agreed

with the Sri VenkatEsvarA temple officials to start a new publication

named "SaraNAgathi " to house the views of our AchAryAs and

Scholars . I have written about this earlier . Four members of our

Bhakthi list have come forward to help preparing this planned

publication and make it available to a wide set of people . I have

requested Sri Anbil Swamigal to be a co-editor , since he has

extensive contacts with the AchAryAs and Scholars of Sri VaishNavism

in India besides being a scholar in Sri Rahasya Traya Saaram .

I am waiting to hear from him about his interest to join in

this kaimkaryam . I hope he will help with this kaimkaryam.
