Iyengars

[Guest guest]

sri krishnaya parabrahmane nama:

 

dear vaisnavas,

 

i was going through the archives and saw one

posting discussing the difference between Iyengars and

srivaisnavas.

 

recently i had been to thirunarayana puram and had

a wonderful darshna of the lord. while discussing with

some srivaisnavas there i came across this interesting

point.

 

Iyengars are called so because while accepting

samashrayanam i.e diksha from the acaryan the

samashrayanam consists of 5 angas or parts as per the

pancaratra system viz. nama, mantra, tapa, yajna &

pundra.

since the dasan has accepted the samashrayanam

consisting of these five angas such vaisnavas are

called Ai- angAr(one who accepted the 5 angas).

hence being called an Iyengar means the person is a

vaisnava and has accepted samashrayanam.

 

thanks
