will definitely visit the website you have specified and will come back to you.

I again emphasize that no association, iskon or anything else should be stamped

as undesirable as long as it is about the Lord. Dr. Saroja Ramanujam.

Dear Balaji,

I also corroborated with the mail of Sri Padmanabhan not on the aspect of the

undesirability of Iskon but on certain differences which they seem to take

objection though I cannot pinpoint them now as I don't remember.

//As I told earlier, there will be slight differences in following procedures.

So that we cannot say that this vaiShNava sampradhAyam place 'not desirable',

that vaiShNava sampradhAyam place 'not desirable', etc. when after all, as you

said it is just praising the true supreme lord.

 

Actually I contributed to a Iskon group earlier and wrote according to the

principles of Ramanuja and Desika to which they objected and I had to pullout

of the group. //This is a very wrong thing done by the group moderator, who

banned you from the group. After all we are not big big AchAryAs to speak

precisely. We are here to learn about the lord. And throwing out of the group

is some what not a good thing and a spirit-less character I guess.

 

 

I had to pull out of one vaishnavite group also for a similar reason whoch shows

that I am not bigotted.

This vaishnavite group insisted that I should use only vaishnacvite jargon to

which I took objection as the main purpose I started writing on visishtadvaita

philosophy and works is that it should be made intelligible for all outside the

fold of srivaishnavism. //For this also I conclude that banning is some what

spirit-less feature of the group moderator. But my suggestion is that one must

not disturb the group which is following particular rules if there is something

really different from one sampradhAyam to another sampradhAyam. Because this may

effect the neophyte devotees of that group. The neophytes may think, "If I

follow this it will be more advantageous, if I follow that sampradhAyam it will

be more advantageous." and finally he may be lead to total confusion. To speak

with you frankly, I mailed the 'Power of Chanting' to shrI vaiShNavam groups

also generally. I came to know that shrI vaiShNavam follows different manthrAs

in the place of harE krShNa mahA manthram. So when I came to know this fact,

though I received so many postings regarding this topic, I kept silent myself

as I must not disturb the group.

 

If I were wrong in adjudging Iskon phloisophy in any way I stand corrected. My

view is that no school of philosophy or religion should curtail freedom of

expression as long as it is not atheistic.I will definitely visit the website

you have specified and will come back to you. I again emphasize that no

association, iskon or anything else should be stamped as undesirable as long as

it is about the Lord. //This is the real spirit of a vaiShNava or a devotee of

lord viShNu. A vaiShNava's character is to accept whichever is correct and

reject whichever is wrong.
