Sri.Sadagopan's views

[Guest guest]

Dear members,

"But the effect of all these kalakshEpams has

to lead to the encouragement of others to participate in

the spirit of " kUdi Irunthu kuLirnthOrempAvAi "

and not to shut them out ..."

 

and

 

"it is most enjoyable to

read the SvAnubhavams of Sri Rengarajan...".

 

Speaking for myself and myself alone, I cannot agree more with the above

sentiments.

 

I have said it before and I repeat now, one of the most attractive things

about the "bhakti-list" is that it is an utterly uninhibited, fetter-free

forum where any person ("fish"?), with even half-interest in the subject of

SriVaishnavism, can come and air his views, free of the dread of committing

some undefined, unpardonable "apachAram" or other....

 

Most of us are rank "students" and "amateurs" of Sri.Vaishnavism and

Vaishnavite faith..... and typical of students everywhere some of our views

and "svAnubhavams" may come across, now and then, as naive, wooly,

half-baked, irreverent, flippant and ... sometimes, as in my own case

perhaps.... "verbose", "dangerously experimental" and "purely

speculative"....!!

 

Yet I enjoy it all thoroughly.... even when there are bloomers, gaffes and

goofs galore... and believe me I have myself made some of the biggest ones!

But so what? We are just a simple "cyber-community" of Vaishnavas ....let's

not flatter ourselves by arrogating the status of a "vidvat sadas" to our

group where every word spoken must measure up to the exacting standards of

a Srimad.Azhagiya-singar, Andavan Swami or Jeer ! For God's sake, why

should we take ourselves so seriously?

 

Amidst all the din and noise of the "list" there is still one refreshing

and unfading thing that comes shining through at all times... and that is

the patent enthusiasm of the "bhakti" members, young and old alike, for the

several subjects discussed... isn't it?

 

Now anything said on the list that is likely to be destructive of that

spirited enthusiasm would be very unfortunate. Some of the contributors to

the list are very,very young indeed... why should they be frightened off...

can't seniors (who are really most revered members) please show a little

indulgence, please? You could of course feel free always to correct,

clarify or lead us down the correct way...

 

Please carry on Sri.Sempath Rengarajan with your "tiruppAvai" posts..... I

quite enjoy your discursive posts.

 

adiyEn dAsAnu-dAsan,
