Namaskarangal,

I realy appreciate the the reply.

Let Rangarajan be educated.

HAYGREEVA PRIYA, SRI NIRSIMHAPRIYA,SRI RANGANATHA PADUKA, etc. These are not

mear books. Blessed with GREAT ACHARYAS THEY SHOULD Not BE EVALUATED IN

TERMS OF MONEY.

Sri Rama,Sri Krishna are not ordinary human beings.The Archa Vigrahams are

not ordinary metals . He is not a Vishnavite one who think Sri Rama and Sri

Krishna are men and the Archa moorthys are of metal..Like wise the above

books are not Ordinary books. As Rajeev Karamchedu rightly pointed out, the

contents are of high values. It is our bound and duty to support, contrubute

, and even donate large sums, to the above books.

With Regards. Uppili

dear sir

on enquiry i am shocked to learn that the individual copy costing

rs.5 (so called cheap book of 185 pages)Ipassy will not be sold

without subscribing rs.50 for the entire year.it is therefore useless

to value the individual book.probably this type of advertisement is

to attract people to shell out rs.50 instead os rs.5.probably this is

the way of the functioning of the parkalamutt sishyuas may Ramanuja

bestow more sense of detachment.

Sri:

Sri Brahmatantra Swatantra Parakala Guru Paramparaayai Nama:

 

 

Dear Sriman Rangarajan

 

Namaskaram.

 

With due respects, I would like to enquire into your

cause of dispair and such outburst of accusations.

You conduct is highly unbecoming of a Sri Vaishnava

With your permission, I would like to address the

individual issues in your email:

>on enquiry i am shocked to learn that the individual copy costing

>rs.5 (so called cheap book of 185 pages)

 

It is true that individual copy of each magazine is Rs.5 ONLY.

However, by no means is this magazine a "cheap book of 185 pages".

It is an invaluable magazine that carries Acharya Mangalashaasanams,

His commentaries on vedas/prabhandhams, articles on topics such

as Padma puraanam, Hayagriva Stotram, Vedas and Ithihaasas authored

by Veda Vidwaas that most of us are not even worthy of uttering

their names. Within these 185 pages, if I may, are woven the

entire tatvam of Sri Sampradaayam and the beautiful glory of

Guru-Shishya Parampara and anubhavam.

 

My hands are trembling even as I write this, considering the

unfortunate circumstances that you have created and which are

causing me to write in defense. Never, ever, in my times, have I

seen a Sri Vaishnava belittle such a grantham in such a manner. To

this end, you stand on your own on the mantle of maha-papam

towards our acharya parampara

>it is therefore useless to value the individual book.

 

Disappointed to the bottom of my heart by your comments,

I beg you to refrain from making such comments on our

Sampradayam. I will send you my personal copy of the

September and October, 2001. Please send me your

mailing address and I will promptly mail it.

Please take your time and read the magazine. It may

take us years in order to

understand and drown in the sea of knowledge that is packed

in this magazine. Just like Swamy Vedanta Desikan has

packed the Hayagriva Manthram in Hayagriva Stotram and

just like Swamy Abhinava Ranganatha Parakala Maha Desikan

has packed some maha mantrams into Sri Hayagriva Panjaram,

it is well worth to note that Sri Hayagriva Priya is a

185 page grantham that packs the concepts of Sri Sampradayam

and how a bhagavatha can reach perumal. If one magazine

can do this, think about 12 magazines of such kind and

for 50 Rs./ !!!

(what is the cost of tea in India, now-a-days ? or a soft drink ?)

 

Even with this measly cost, do you know that this Magazine

loses Rs 2/- per magazine ? But the publisher still

absorbs the costs and ensures that this is available

to the religiously-inclined for almost-free of charge.

(50 Rs per year is almost free of charge, today in India)

>the way of the functioning of the parkalamutt sishyuas may Ramanuja

>bestow more sense of detachment.

>adian

>rangarajan

 

As I said, before, the more I read your email, the more

it causes pain and grief. You are treading on a very

unfortunate path of maha-paapam by carrying out accusations

on fellow bhaktas. When you say Parakala Matham Shishyas,

please reflect upon the fact that the every acharya

who attains paramapadam, every acharya who connected to

the Matham was once a shishya of the Matham. Incredible as

it may sound, how easy was it to take such direct pot-shots

at them ??

 

Again, I ask you to refrain from such conduct and

spreading of dvesham. We don't need it in this day in age.

Dear Bhagavathas,

 

I am not sure I really understand the context of this condescending and

outrageous mail, but I would like to voice my strong protest about the

language for two obvious reasons: a) the member shows an utter disrespect

for a Sri Vaishnava Journal and b) insults the entire sishya community of

Sri Parakala Mutt for what appears to be a very minor and personal

grievance. This is totally unacceptable.

 

Mr. Rangarajan: As a fellow member I urge you to apologize, especially to

Sri. Parakala Mutt sishyAs. If you don't realize this offence I suggest you

immediately and save the moderator and other members some

trouble.

 

Reverently,

Sriram

[Guest guest]

Dear Bhagavatas:

I entirely agree with the sentiments expressed by Sriram Ranganathan.

 

I can personally vouch for the dedication of the publishers of the journal

"Sri Hayagriva Priya". The articles appearing therein are of the highest

quality. The annual subscription is so low as to make us wonder how they

could offer it at all!. I do not see any attempt to rip off as suggested by

the offending posting.

 

The Aippasi issue contains such a wealth of information that it will be

appropriate to charge a lakh for each letter(aksharalaksham)and Rs.5/= is

just peanuts and it has nothing to link it with soliciting annual

subscription as alleged.

 

I strongly endorse the suggestion -

" Mr. Rangarajan: As a fellow member I urge you to apologize, especially to

Sri Parakala Mutt sishyAs. If you don't realize this offence, I suggest you

immediately and save the moderator and other members some

trouble".

Dear Mr.Rangarajan :

 

What a shock it is to read your thoughtless

and offensive note ! One can not let your

note unanswered because of the gravity

of your offense !

 

You are offending a whole lot of bhakthAs

with great reverence to our SampradhAyam .

I am not sure you understand the impact

of your careless statement.

 

I think you do not really mean what you said ,

when you attributed Motives to those , who reminded

you of a fact that the annual subscription is

Rupees 50 and this issue can not be sent to you for

the price of 5 Rupees as an isolated request.

 

Sriman Karamchedu has already referred to

the items you can buy in India or here for 5 or 50 Rs.

I assume that you have some idea of the cost of paper ,

printing and postal charges for creating such a magazine,

even if we forget a moment the unique nature of

this and similar publications ( Sri Nrusimha priyA

et al).

 

Sriman Rajeev Karamchedu and Sri Sriram Ranganthan

have already answered you appropriately . One does not

know whether one should laugh or cry over your

arrogance , pomposity and ignorance.

 

Your remarks are egotistic and filled with

ignorance about the status of the various Matams ,

their traditions , struggles and the depth of

affection and reverence that the sishyAs of the matam

have for their AchArya paramparai.

 

I had the good fortune of recieving the copy of

the special issue that you are carping about.

Yes , it is marked Rs.5.00 like other issues.

It is in actuality worth its weight in gold.

 

The illustrious origin of ParakAla matam ,

the Aaraadhana Moorthy , Sri Lakshmi HayagrIvan

there worshipped by AchArya RaamAnujA and

Swamy Desikan , the great AchAryAs who have

protected the sampradhAyam 600 plus years

are outside your radar , it seems.

 

This wonderful and rare issue of 175 pages

contains gems of contributions from great scholars

on a single theme that is important to all

Sri VaishNavAs (Viz): the glory of MahA Lakshmi

as celebrated in VedAs, Upanishads, IthihAsams ,

PurANams , PaancharAthra Aagamam , VaikAnasa Aagamam ,

Dhivya Prabhandham , Sri Sookthis of Swamy AlavanthAr,

RaamAnujar , KooratthAzhwAn , Swamy ParAsara Bhattar ,

Eedu , nadAdhUr AmmAL and Swamy Desikan .It is

a collector's item .

 

This golden issue with the wonderful image of

Sri Lakshmi HayagrIvan on the cover is a reference issue

distilling the essence of knowledge about

the SrI Tatthvam from leading scholars

of Sri VaishNavam from many AchArya paramparais .

One can not even begin to understand the depth of

articles and the PramANams that they have assembled.

 

In this context, your gripe is so absurd that

I find it very difficult to go on explaining

this to you . It is almost like putting a garland

of fragrant flowers before a person, who has no

sense of smell. It is like asking a blind person to

appreciate a beautiful piece of sculpture or

a marvellous drawing or a beautiful ArchA

Moorthy.

 

Please do not hurt BhakthAs devoted to

their AchArya Paramparais through your careless

and offensive choice of words . I do not think

you will know what you will do with this issue

even if it was presented to you gratis.

 

The least you can do is to go to Mysore ParakAla

Matam and fall at the feet of Sri Lakshmi HayagrIvan

and Srimath Abhinava VaagIsa Brahma Tanthra Svathanthra

ParakAla MahA Desikan , the current PeetAdhipathi

and seek their pardon for your gross apachAram .

Dear Bhagavathas,

My sincere pranamams to all.

I don't have much to say to this, but I pray you all that we should sincerely

pray Bagavaan Shriman Narayanan to bring Mr.Rangarajan to the light from the

darkness of ignorance. You all are (I don't include myself in the list)

Bagavathas and the bagavatha lakshanam is to see God in everyone. If we are true

Bagavathas we should rather get the mailing address of Mr.Rangarajan and buy him

a copy at our cost and send him(again not with an intention that he should

apologise after reading the book). Once he reads the book he WILL know the value

of the same.

Please do not accuse him for all those who do might also get into a

Bagavadhapachaaram.

Pray God that he may shower all his blessings on Mr.Rangarajan and get him out

of the darkness of ignorance.

 

Dear Mr.Rangarajan, may my achaaryar Raamanujar shower his paripoorana blessings

for you. I am not being sarcastic and my statements aren't intended to offend.

Despite this if my words had hurt you my sincere apologies.

 

Dear all, If I had hurt anyone of you in the list by my words my sincere

apologies. My words were not intended to hurt any one of you in this list.

 

Azhwar Emberumanaar Jeeyar Thiruvadigale Charanam.

Raamanujadaasan,

Lakshmi Narasimhan
