SamaashrayaNam, Acharya Abhimanam, Food habits

[Guest guest]

samASrayaNam means samyak ASrayaNam or completely taking refuge in

the Lord. This can happen at any moment by His blessings, while

reading PBA swami's book, or when a place of worship like Thirumala

is visited, or when we interact with a living mahAtmA.

 

For those like us born in SV families, we undergo something called

chakrAnkanam or having the holy marks on us, this process is also

known as samASrayaNam. Those interested in "following" Srivaishnavism

should approach an AchArya and seek his guidance. Instead, such

people from non-SV families are also putting condition on the

Acharyas "Do me samASrayaNam". Acharya is the right judge. Let him

lead out of AchArya abhimAnam (AchArya's abhimAnam).
