Doubt ?

[Guest guest]

Sri:

 

Dearest Sisters and Brothers,

 

I happened to see this statement of Srila Prabhupada, from my ISKCON friend.

Whom is he referring to? Is he our Uttamoor Swami? Can someone clarify?

 

 

"Srimad Viraraghava Acarya, an acharya in the disciplinic succession of the

Ramanuja-sampradaya, has remarked in his commentary that chandalas, or

conditioned souls who are born in lower than sudra families, can also be

initiated according to circumstances. The formalities may be slightly

changed here and there to make them Vaishnavas."

 

Thanks and Regards

 

Narayana Narayana

adiyEn doesn't think so. Sri BhaktivedAnta swAmi must be referring

to the VeerarAghavAchAryA ( probably late 19th century) who blessed

us with a wonderful commentry on Srimad BhAgavatham . This is adiyEn's

guess since in some places in Sri BhaktivEdAnta swAmi's commentry on

Srimad BhAgavtham, Sri VeerarAghavAchAryA's interpretation is

quoted / reffered to .
