Guest guest Posted October 9, 2000 Report Share Posted October 9, 2000 Respected Jeeyar swami, Namskaram. I have a question, which may be kind of hypothetical. Nevertheless ... Assume a Sri Vaishnavite (say person A), has been assigned a task by his AchAryaa, which requires him to complete a set of tasks in the temple by a certain time of the day. It so happens one day, that he finds someone (say person B) who is in need of help and since there is no one to help person B he extends his help out of compassion for him, but that means he cannot complete the task assigned by his AchArya. Person B may not be a nice person or a devotee of God etc etc, but still person A, is compassionate and is not able to ignore person B when he/she needs help. So he is kind of committing Achaaryaa apachaaram as he won't be able to complete the task given by his Achaarya. What is our sampradayam's stand on this? The intention of the question is to know does following sampradaayam mean following a stringent set of rules, no matter what comes by? Thanking you and praNaams, Harini Get Mail - Free email you can access from anywhere! / Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
