Indignation at Sholingur : wrong thing for the right reason?

[Guest guest]

Sri:

Srimathe Ramanujaya nama:

Dear Srirangapriya Ramanuja dasan,

 

Humble pranams to you. Whatever you write brings me an

image of SriRanganatha. Like that Lord you also exhibit "sowhArDham"

in defending the souls whoever it may be. I didn't use any bad words

but raised my voice and as you have pointed out I agree that I was

also doing the wrong thing in the process by shouting at them. I

didn't know what else to do at that time. Thought(in ignorance)that

shouting might bring about a change. There were lot of poor people

who could be pure devotees than I'm(for sure) but didn't get proper

sevai of the Lord. Your personal experiences are always an "eye

opener" for me. Surely your point d is noted in my mind. You have

only said the right thing. Your words remind me of Portia's(to

Bassanio)in Merchant of Venice:"unless we show mercy on our fellow

human beings,we can not expect God to show mercy on us". Hats off to

your knowledge,humility and compassion. Nine centuries have elapsed

since Ramanuja's period. Is it possible for the temples to get back

to the state the way it was during some centuries ago? Do you think

we can achieve the result by being tender and compassionate not only

wrt divya desams but many dealings in this "so called" modern world?

It's a serious question.
