Dear Sri Balaji,

 

A good question. I will try to answer this to my knowledge. First of

all an apachAram is something relative and with respect to the

persons involved. Only if it is considered as an offense by the other

person, it becomes an offense. Otherwise there is nothing wrong. Sri

ThirukkOshtiyUr nambi is lesser than any AchAryA and he is guNa

poorNa. The word "nambi" in tamizh is the meaning of the

word "poorNa" in sanskrit. "poorNA" means complete.

 

What characters makes a man a "poorNA"?

-- The characters of dayA & kshamA makes the man a poorNA.

What is a characteristic of a true AchAryA?

-- The quality of being neutral in analysing and accepting the truth

even if it was said by his sishyA.

 

Sri thirukkOshtiyUr nambi had both the above complete qualities. So,

though initially he got offended, he then analysed and accepted what

Sri rAmAnuja did and hence forgave him, rather he corrected himself.

So where is the question of an apachAram at all here.

 

Now what is true lakshaNa of a sishyA ?

-- To know what his guru will think and to act in such a way that you

never offend your guru.

 

I am sure every one would accept that Sri rAmAnuja did exactly the

same. He knew that he is not doing anything wrong and he also knew

that his guru, who is a highly knowledgeable person, will analyse and

accept his deeds.

 

THE RIGHT GURU FOR THE RIGHT SISHYA. Outstanding example for Guru-

sishya lakshaNam isn't it.
