Guest guest Posted June 26, 1998 Report Share Posted June 26, 1998 Dear Sri Vaishnavas, adiYen does not agree with your conclusions on the present topic of controversy.Please note that adiYen wrote only about the 4 Varnas.The Varnashrama System does not end there , the Varnashrama system consists of 4 social classes or Varnas and the 4 Ashramas namely: Bhramacari,Grihastha,Vanaprastha and Sannyasa.Whereas the Varnas occupied by a person can change, the ashramas do not change.The ashramas constiute the religious part of the varnashrama system and remain the same for all jivas irrespective of the varnas they occupy. Viewed in this light what Sri Ramanuja did on top of the Gopuram is not at all matter of speculation; it was 100% in agreement with the Varnashrama system.Please note that the actions and lifes of the Acaryas are never incorrect , even if it appears to be a sentimental act on the surface (as suggested by some).Maha vishwasam on the Acarya is a must. It is unfortunate that people stereotype themselves into certain roles and try to dictate some to others.We all should remember that we are not the doers and only Sriman Narayana is the Supreme Cause of all causes, the varnashrama system was set in place by him and is never incorrect that is why Varnashrama Dharma is also known as SanatanaDharma or eternal Dharma. All jivas are created equal and will remain equal in his eyes also forever. adiYen humbly submits this view point for your consideration. -Sriram,Balaraman. ____ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
