Swami Velakudi Krishnan's clarification

[Guest guest]

Members may kindly recall query regarding the

need for "Acharyan" in view of

 

a) Paramatma being closer to a Jevvatman than what

any other Jeevcatman can possibly be as illustrated

by the incident of the first three Alwars meeting in

a small room

 

and b) the kalyana guna- "Saushilyam" of the Lord.

 

 

Swami V. Krishnan, who was recently in Bombay,

 

was kind enough to clarify in an informal meeting, as

follows:

 

Refering to Pillai Ulaga Ariyar's Shri Vachana

Bushanam (Sutra 442) he said that just as a lotus

can bloom in the presence of the Sun only if it is

rooted in water but gets dried up in no time if the

water is drained so also a jeevatma needs the grace

of

God and Acharyan.
