Guest guest Posted January 12, 2003 Report Share Posted January 12, 2003 DEar sri TCA Srinivasa Ramanujam swami, It is a pity that no sooner the ink in my pen( in this case the stress on the keyboard)has dried the discussion on this subject has cropped up. It appears that from prima-facie reading of your post, that I may have to concur only with the following. There has been a lively discussion on Devatantara bhajana[Devata-God; Antara-Different; Bhajana-worship. Eponymous words to Devantara are Bhashantara-Other languages; Desantara-Other countries; Namantara-Other names; Kalantara-Other times; Vishyantaras-Other interests etc.]. I hasten to add that before i react, I require the following clarifications/whether my understanding of your post is correct. My understanding is as follows. i. AzhwAr's have tacitly approved dhevatantara bhajana whereas pUrvAchAryas have toed an orthodox line ii. pUrvachAryas have toed the orthodox line -which are inferred from some interpretations which may give room for multiple interpretations-due to time difference between Azhwar-sand AchAryas iii.God is omnipresent and hence other deities can be worshipped. After all this also tantamounts to nArAyanA worship? iv.piLLai perumAL iyengar is a vEra vaishNavite. Is my understanding correct. On your response I shall react. aDiyEAn rAmAnuja dhAsan vAnamAmalai padmanAbhan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
