Re. Bharanyasam in cn.toSouri rajan's repy

[Guest guest]

Dear sir, I was an onlooker into this Vaishnav group for some time and has

become a member to learn about vaishnavism's sath samachar by reading

interesting exchange of letters and notes, of renouned people..

While we are on this deplorable suject , which i read in the above sais

letter, i feel some thing has taken me over and makes me to mention a

despicable scene i witnessed when i was a young boy. It is a great

Vasasthalam of Perumal and i don't want to mention the name of it.The event

that took place was on the road just before the great temple as things were

getting ready for veedhi purappadu of the Uthsavar.

I felt even at that age that that regrettable incident shook me to such an

extent that i thought it was like a family feud.

It all suddenly arose because the palanquin that was to be carried forward

consisted of one person who was not in the majority of other sect to lift it

and carry.It was virually a bloody battle using all sorts of

billingsgate.Fortunately, some fair minded people stopped by saying "Is it

fair on our part to prevent the Lord who was to proceed on the road with

wishful thinking and blessing the whole city for the sake of SUBHIKSHM".

Fortunately, better sense prevailed and it was all averted resulting in a

happy uurvalam though it is a rank disservice to Vaishnavism and utter

disrespect to God,the Almighty. This incident only depicts our ignomineous

ignorance.We should not forget' mills of GOD grind slowly.'

As humbly as i could say,there is not any material difference of views

between the two sects as espoused by our Acharyas,excepting a slight U turn

or Y shaped Thiruman on the foreheads of respective sects.

HERE, i only took my turn taking a lead from the letter above to say that

there should be union as there is no diversity in Vaishnava philosophy for

the path is one and the same to attain salvation.

I beg to be pardoned for i have no illwill against any body or any

particular sect.

I do not even mean anything to hurt either the addresser or addressee of

this letter or by taking sides either.

Vasagadhoshashnthavya,

Kshamitharulga.

Adiyen,

Ramachandran.

PS.Tobe somebody close to God is to be somebody known to all.I mean the

fair-minded people in the episode whose devoted move were beyond borders.
