re:issues before srivashnavism-3

[Guest guest]

Dear bhaktas,

In response to sri venketesan's letter, permit me to

write some of the known facts about sAttumuRai at

tirumalai as one of the lords fundamental and holy

sevas from the time the golla found the lord and

reported to the raja. just like the golla and his

tanians opens the temple and does first seva of the

lord,an inherited formality practiced even to day, it

is untenable to cancel or modify this essential

vishistadwaita divyaradhana seva. the seva might be

originally in the form of divayaraadhana seva

instituted by devatas,rushis, later on alwars,

acharyas of ramanujar and fur on it was formatted

in the from of sAthumurai & stipulated by Sri

ramanujar himself and implemented stricltly with no

ambiguity from the time immemorial. The very essential

rituals and sevas for the god are as important as the

other sevas for the public. One will not go, erase or

substitute for other. It goes without saying.

SAtmurai seva is the gods given right to the righteous

vaishanavaites of those 74 simhasanAthipathis

(tholappachariars) and other vaishnava stotriya

bhaktasas in the order offering the prescribed muRai

as revealed by our bhaktar tiruman p.b.anand and

v.sadagopan. this age old vaishnava divya seva should

be scrupulously implemented by the jeeyers concerned

without any bias as the staunch followers of sri

ramanujar, preachers of the vaishnavism and the

servants of lord concerned duely respected and

honoured by devastanams. our holy jeeyars must see

that this spiritual seva be continued undiluted. they

should justify, convince or fight out to restore the

normalacy of this essential seva untouched by the

administrators of the tirumala temples. they should

see not to meddle this holy religious sAthumarai at

any cost superceding the vaishanava sampradhayam and

rituals of the temple. Our present

maTathipathis,Jeeyars are the true representatives of

sri ramanujar and the present pillars of the

vaishnavism. Let us all unite, lay prostrate before

them, submit our grievences to see that they realise

the gravity of the situation,exer
