Guest guest Posted May 4, 1999 Report Share Posted May 4, 1999 Dear friends I would like to introduce myself as a new member of the bhakti group. My name is Narayan.As iam using only hot mail can anyone please tell me how to configure my hotmail such that it sends only plain text. Please don't mistake me to be a casteist.If i have hurt anyone iam sorry If Ramanuja belonged to the vadama subset of brahmins,then was he an iyer?.One of my iyer friends argued with me that afterall we required only an iyer to revive vaishnavism.He claims that none of the great philosophers and leaders of vaishnavism were vaishnavas by birth but only smarthas.Even the brahmin alwars were not vaishnavas but only saivaites or iyers who follow siva.The whole concept of vaishnavism started only recently and 1000 years back none of the brahmins were vaishnavs i.e iyengars but only iyers.The concept of iyengars was started only by ramanuja.Is it true? He also claims that vedas and shastras speak only about the greatness of the vibuthi and not thiruman or the srichornam and therefore tha smarthas are superior and they are true brahmins Can anyone give me a convincing reply.I will be greateful .I know that srivaishnavism is beyond caste creed or race and i firmly believe that everyone is the same in Sriman Narayana's eyes.
