Guest guest Posted May 10, 2002 Report Share Posted May 10, 2002 Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha Appan ThiruvadigaleSaranam. Dear Devotees, Accept my pranams. Sri Venkatesh swamin has explained his position well. He has brought home the point. This is enough. It is a tragic fact that Srivaishnavism built by great men stands apart into 2 kalais by the egos of their descendants( scholars of the last 2 or 3 centuries).Had Kurathazhvar, Nanjeeyar, Arulalapperumal Emperumanar etc.,stuck to their ego, it is doubtful that Emperumanar alone could have built up Srivaishnavism. Emperumanar himself has shown the way; accepting the error to Kurathazhvar and now,we have 'Sree Bhashyam". 'Adiyennullan'is the essence of Srivaishnavam and it is not 'Aham Brahmosmi' If knowledge and 'anushtanam' could not bring humility (Naichhayanusandhanam) in a scholar how he can be a Srivaishnavan? There are many anecdotes to illustrate the futility of Ego. How Sri Bhattar treated a Vedanthin and a Dhasa. How Nampillai went after Kandhadai Thozhappar to extinquish the fire..ie Ego of the latter. "Vanchmukkurambham kuzhiyaikkadakkum nam Kurathazhvar saran saran koodiyapin' Ego is a byproduct of scholarship and if this Ego is not out there is no use of reading 'Nedumarkkadimai seivenpol ...,;Payilum sudaroli and etc; any number of times. Seekers of knowledge, seekers of Brahman, Seekers of Sriman Narayanan should have learnt that 'dhasya bhava'is the essence of Srivaishnavism. Knowledge and 'Anushtanam' should have brought this bhava in him and he gets respected automatically; otherwise,the result will be as mentrioned in 'Sutra 236 of Srivachana Bhooshanam" . Mere utterences of 'Adiyen', 'Swamin' etc., carries no meaning ; rather a mockery only. Adiyen have explained my view for the wellbeing and growth of Srivaishnavism. This should not be mistaken as insult or disrespect to anybody. Adiyen Parthasararhy dasan. _______ Click below to visit monsterindia.com and review jobs in India or Abroad http://monsterindia.rediff.com/jobs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
