Guest guest Posted May 4, 1999 Report Share Posted May 4, 1999 Dear Sri Narayan, I tend to give a very crude reply to the questions of your "Iyer Friend". It at all it is true that RAmAnujar was an iyer and so are other AzhwArs, why should they make a philosophy that Sriman NArAyaNan is THE "PARATHATTUVAM". They should have only said the He is the top most servant of SivA and likewise. These arguments are really baseless. Take the case of Thirumazhisai AzhwAr who even won a battle with SivA when the latter asked the former to request for a boon and the former refused to do so. If you read thro' the works of any of these AzhwArs and AchAryAs, none of them sing about SivA as Supreme. In fact in NAnmugan ThiruvandhAdhi, Thirumazhisai AzhwAr says, " NAnmuganai NArAyaNan paDaitthAN, NAnmuganum thAn mugamAi Sankaranaith thAn paDaitthan ....". In fact this AzhwAr even practised Saivam and all other religions. None of the other Azhwars did so? So please discount all those arguments are baseless and foolish. However more learned scholars in the group will be giving you a more convincing reply Sorry for digressing so harsh adiyEn RAmAnuja dAsan Thirumalai Vinjamoor Venkatesh Regards T.V.Venkatesh E-mail : TVV Phone: 91-44-4960455 extn. 5218 Fax : 91-44-4960913 Visit : http://www.sanmargroup.com ***** Message Was Scanned For Viruses ***** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
