Guest guest Posted June 3, 2003 Report Share Posted June 3, 2003 "Lakshminatha samarambham Nada yamuna madyamam asmadhaachaarya paryantham vande guruparamparam" Dear Raman Kannan Swamin, Thank you for the answer. I am definitely not questioning the authenticity of guru parampara, and I and no one can never Have or will have any Yogyadai for that and I never intended to offend. I am devoted to Sriya: Pathi Sriman Narayana and him only. I just wanted to clear the doubts I have. My doubt is that why do we just include Swamy Nammazhwar and not other alwars in the Guru Parampara thaniyans hierrarchy. Why did not Nammazhwar do panchasamskaram to Madura Kavigal?
