Guest guest Posted March 22, 1999 Report Share Posted March 22, 1999 Sri: Dearest Sri Rajan Srinivasan, This refers to your last para of your post (on Soundharyalahari). Your wrote: Why our religion has many Gods and why Bhagawatas should compare notes? I am not very sure if I have framed my query properly. But I am sure everyone will appreciate the confusion in the minds of an ordinary person like me. ============================================================================ ============= IT IS NOT OUR RELIGION THAT HAS MANY GODS. It is the wrong /mis interpretation of Vedic truths and sruthis that have given rise to. Have no doubts - not even an iota of suspicion. You are a prince, dear! Your ancestors have inherited a great treasure. Don't feel great thinking that you are the rich begger among beggers. "HasthimE hasthisailaagrE vasthu paithaamaham dhanam" VyAsar wrote Vedantha sUthram, wherein he ascertained the supremacy of Sriman Narayna in his sUtram, and raised his hands above his head three times and proclaimed that Sriman Narayna is the Parathvam. (sathyam sathyam punas sathyam ....vedAs saastrA param naasthi..na deivam kEsavaath param). This sUtram was detailed and commented to a great extent by BhOdhAyanar in his Brahma sUthram. After BrahmasUthram, Brahmanandhi (dunkar, Dhramidar, GuhadEvar) had also written purports for Brahma sUthram but are lost somewhere and are not available for us unfortunately. (Brahma sUthram was later unearthed and studied by Sri RamanujA and understood for his establishing the VishishtAdvaitaic traditions.) Sri Ramanujar established and re-organised the Sri VaishNava SiddhAntham and explained the conflicts and wrong interpretations in other SiddhAnthams and in other religions. Our AchArya Paramparai (Guru Parampara) traces back to Sriman Narayanan and MahAlakshmi Themselves and is associated with such Greatest sampradayam. The Siddhaantham of AchArya RamanujA is an unambiguous most accurate interpretation of all Vedic statements- I repeat ALL VEDIC STATEMENTS, with no contradictions to sruthis. It is our Dearest Sri Ramanujacharya whose Sri Sookthis have thrown light on ALL VEDIC DOCTRINES and interpreted most accurately. (listen to the upanyaasam of Srimad Andavan of Pundareekapuram Ashramam on Yathiraja Sapthathi (released in 7 audio cassettes) Sriman NarayaNan along with His consort Sri MahAlakshmi alone is the God (Deivam). He is the Primordial Chief. He is the Chief of all dEvAs, including Sivan and BrahmA. Vedas proclaim that Sriman NarayaNan is the ParamAthmA, PeramporuL and ParanjOthi. VedAs also say that except Him all including dEvas, Sivan, BrahmA and Indran are all jIvans. Being born a SrivaishNavA and/or a bhakthA of Sriman NarayaNA, we need not worship other devatAs. We are related to the Great King Himself; why to go and beg the army chief, minister or the Gate keeper? VedAs and SaastrAs say that even to think of Sivan and BrahmA and other dEvas as equal to God is a great sin (mahApaapam). For that matter, Sivan and BrahmA themselves are great bhaktAs of Sriman NarayaNA. It is due to their triguNa sambhandham (like rajO, thamas and sathva guNAs) Sivan gets into the enemy's (asurA- bhANAsura's) side. Our Sriman narayana is of Pure Suddha Sathvam. When GajEndrA shouted for help "AdhimoolamE!" (Primordial Chief!) it is NOT any name of God, he called-please note! It is just calling the Primordial Chief, the first one- the Parathvam! Nobody dared come claiming for "Adhimoolam" post, it is our Sweet Lord Sriya: Pathih Sriman Naraynan who appeared IMMDIATELY on GarudA and saved the elephant. You may tell that it is only the name and rose by any name will smell as sweet. But it is vEdAs (which are eternal and apaurushEyam) that proclaim that Sriman Naraynana is the Supreme Godhead. It is not just a name. It is kaaraNa peyar; name with a meaning in it; naaram + ayaNam is Narayanan. (You need to study this Divine name of Narayana and His meanings under the Feet of your AchAryan). Hence, we should pay obeisance to only Sriman Narayanan. We are His Seshan (servants). Even uttering His name alone will yield tremendous benefits both in this world and in the next. ( Sivan, himself tells Parvathi to utter Rama naamam, when enquired by her as to which is equal to the Thousand names of VishNu. - Do we need any other proof?) For us, only vEdAs are the moola pramaaNam. (The proof). VedAs were not created by anybody. They are apaurushEyam. Vedas proclaim the Glories of Emperumaan Sriman NarayaNan.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 1999 Report Share Posted March 22, 1999 Dear Sri Madhavakkannan, It was indeed reassuring to read your mail and I could only immediately remember: Lakshminatha samArambAm.... As you have appropriately said, with the guidance of our AchAryas one should never give room to such doubts.
