Guest guest Posted March 13, 1998 Report Share Posted March 13, 1998 Dearest Bhaktas, I was reading the interesting article from Sri. Madhavakannan on Sri Durga and Sri Lakshmi. Also stating that Maha Vishnu and Maheswar are one on the same. But As a Vaishnavite a normal person will consider the preachings of Azwars and Acharyas as their fundamental. Traditionally Vaishnava Azhwars and Acharyas have devoted their lot of time in arguments over supremacy of Sri Maha Vishnu and Sri Maheswar. There are lot of instances like, 1) Sri Peyalwar, restored the Tirupathi to Vaishnavas . 2) Thrirumazhai Piran had arguments with sivaites on the same issue. As evident in the pasuram in Nanmugan Thiru Anthathi, Eeni Arithen Ezarkum Nonmugarkum Deivam... 3) Thirumangai Azwar argued with great Saiva Nayanmar and got the title Manavel Parakalan. 4) Sri Emperumanar argued with lot of saivites over the same issue. 5) Sri Koorathu Azwan lost his eyes on the same issue with Choza king. The above things according to me mean that even Vaishnava Acharyas and Azwars have seen, Sriman Narayanan and Sri Siva as different and there is no reason for their followers to think differently. It is always better that one should not argue over these issues especially in the present Indian context where the unity of ours in the need of the hour. And it is practised very well in places like Madras were most of the religious persons visits every temple in their locality without any difference. One should also not forget Kanchi Swamigals effort in the renovations of so many temples without these differences and in the uplifting of Hindu society as a whole. But at the same time we should not the dilute the past with our own explanations. With regards. Dasan S. Sundar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
