Q - hare krishna

[Guest guest]

hare krishna!

 

I would like to know one thing please.I worship Lord Krishna and I really adore

Him.I heard that if one takes initiation in the Jeeyar sampradayam one has to

worship "Vaikunta Narayanulu" only i.e the deity you worship should be "Vaikunta

Narayanulu".As a Guru,I really admire His Holiness Sri Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji

and anyday I would like to take initiation from Him.But the above aspect keeps

bothering me. It may be an insignificant doubt but if it is cleared it will give

me clarity of thought concerning many things.

 

thank you

Srimathe Ramanujaya nama:

 

Dear Devotee,

Humble pranams to you. You don't have to worry over it. You can

continue to worship Lord Krishna. One can have one's own favorite

form/manifestation of Sriman Narayana and worship as it is much easier for the

mind to concentrate than on Sriman Narayana who is "parathvam" beyond the ken of

speech. The only thing is one has to know(from AcAryA in detail)that Sriman

Narayana is "sarvam/everything" and SriRama,SriKrishna are all manifestations

of Sriman Narayana as an incarnation. It is only Narayana manthram which gives

the "exact" knowledge of the relation between cit (self/sentient),acit and

Ishwara(Sriman Narayana)and hence it is superior to the other two manthras

namely vAsudeva and vishNu. Best example is Sri Ramanuja whose favorite God was

Sampath KumAran of TirunArAyaNapuram temple,Melkote. Not only that even AzhvArs

of SriVaiShNava tradition have extolled and sought refuge in arca and vatAra

form of Sriman Narayana. My favorite God is Srirama and also SriranganATha. This

worship doesn't stand in the way of my understanding of Sriman Narayana's

supremacy. I don't know if I conveyed the right message. If anything is

wrong,please forgive me.

 

Best regards

NC Nappinnai

Dear Bagawatha Sree Vidya

 

You are in chaste company of Azwars and Anjaneya. Anjaneya refused to go with

Sri Rama because Sri Rama was not present in that vibhava form is Sri Vaikuntam.

 

ThondaradiPodi Azwar in his Thirumalai says he has no use for Sri Vaikuntam if

he can be at Sri Rangam Peria Kovil. on top of all this Nammazwar has said

 

thanca maagiya thanthai thaayodu

thaanu maayavai allanaay,

enca lilama rarku lamudhal

moovar thammuLLu maathiyai,

anci neerula katthuL LeergaL!

avani vanenRu koozEnmin,

nenci Nnaal_ninaip paanya vanavan

aagum neeLkadal vaNNanE. TVM - 3.6.9

 

You may want to avail of a book by BSS Iyengar on TVM to understand this pasuram

in detail.

 

Here Nammazwar is assuring that Sriman Narayana takes whatever form we

contemplate upon HIM for our sake. There is no worry at all. However, I must

also share that, Sriman Narayana although known by a thousand names is the first

and only cause regardless of the name we use. All our love, chants reach HIM and

HIM and only HIM - "Sarva Deva Namaskara Kesavam Pratigachhati"
