Guest guest Posted December 1, 2001 Report Share Posted December 1, 2001 Dear members: adiyEn requests your kind attention towards the following. (1) The avatAra vaibhavams of our AchAryas are not up for debate. In view of the different traditions that exist within SriVaishnavam however, it is perhaps better to maintain sAtvika ahankAram (noble pride) about the many spiritual successors of rAmAnuja - instead of resorting to forceful emotions and rebuttals, which only serve to taint the legacy of those mahAchAryas. (2) It is unbecoming of individuals to cast aspersions on the credibility of SriVaishnavam seen in others who do not share their emotions and allegiances. After all, it is not numbers that determine correctness - if that were the case then we should all turn towards advaitam, or even those ubiquitous babas who command such large followings. Indeed if numbers make right, then perhaps India's national animal - the tiger, should be replaced by the rat which is so much more numerous. AdiyEn once again, requests the learned audience to carefully consider all this and not misunderstand my intentions. I wish to apologize in advance for any apachAram. Truly, -Srinath C. -- ________________ Your favorite stores, helpful shopping tools and great gift ideas.
