kalai differences

[Guest guest]

Dear respected memebers

 

Please accept my namaskarams. I have been reading the book The

Srivaishnava Theological dispute by Patricia Y Mumme and

interestingly i find that this book is mentioned by a member of this

group. I find the book very fascinating and the author goes to great

lengths to emphasise the fact that both the aacharyas, Vedanta

Desikan and Manavala Muni did not envisage of forming separate

kalais. I have to admit that after reading the book i still am not

clear about how and when exactly people started talking about

separate kalais. I also have a couple of other doubts which i would

like the memebers to clarify.

1) If prapatti is not considered as an upaya and is against the

swarupa of the soul then how does one 'initiate'

prapatti according to thenkalais? Is samarshayanam not considered as

an 'action' among thenkalais?

2) If sri is considered as a jivatma, how is this jivatma different

from others.

 

i request the enlightened members to clarify these doubts
