Guest guest Posted June 14, 2002 Report Share Posted June 14, 2002 SRIMATHE RAMANUJAYA NAMAHA Who is a Sri vaishnavan? (Hope I am not inviting the wrath of the rs of this list in asking this question.) Is it by birth or by smearing of oorthwa pundram or by Samashrayan or by surrendering to the thiruvadi of a vaishnava achryan or by following the precepts of Sri Ramanuja or by being a devotee of Sriman Narayana or by anything else? What makes one a true Srivaishnavan? (I am reminded of the story written long ago by Cho Ramaswamy of Thuglak, "Enge Brahmanan?' wherein he has brought out the 'lakshana'of a true Brahnmin ) I am asking this question out of curiosity to know where we, the women stand. What is that we, the women must adorn to qualify ourselves as Srivaishanvites, though by birth we come to belong to the Sri vaishnavite familty. Beg your pardon if I have hurt anyone's sentiments. Kindly clarify. Regards, JAYASREE SARNATHAN [ Please focus answers to this question on philosophical ideas taken from Vedanta, Divya Prabandham, Bhagavad Ramanuja's works, or philosophical tracts of later thinkers.
