Guest guest Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 Namaskar, I am a student and whenever i go to a temple i feel uneasy as i dont know what is wrong and what is right and often when i try to follow what my parents tell me my friends mock at me saying that i am behaving as uneducated and at times my parents scold me for not doing some things.At times i become an atheist listening to them even though my inner consciuos dosen't.so i would be happy if any one helps me to know few things about traditions followed and should be followed in temples. This is was the main reason that forced me to search for any details of SRI RAMANUJACHARYAS TEACHINGS WHICH lead me to this group.I found no books on the teachings and on the life of acharya for long now i found a book on life history by swami ramakrishnananda and i am reading it. I would like to know the place to find wallpapers with alvars or some quotes or traditions of the srisampradaya so that we can never be away from godly thougt. Thank you pavan_k523 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 Sri: Srimathe Ramanujaya nama: Dear devotee, The true defn of a friend: a true friend is one who stands by you even when the entire world walks out on you. If your friends mock at you, then you need to do some thinking! No one is born bad. It is the "association/circumstances" that turns a person into good/bad. Are you in the right group that makes you a better person? Certainly we all can learn from our parents. But parents are not experts in every walk of life. If you have any doubts or questions, you can ask your parents,friends and seek someone who is an expert to crosscheck! When you have the desire to learn(I would say that even this desire God only gives),God will put devotees in front of you to clarify your doubts. Always go for authentic texts/authors who give the message without adulterating the contents. There are many authors who don't make you think and there are very few authors whose books if you read, you become an expert that no one can shake you. Finally what matters is "who your AcAryA/guru is" adiyEn rAmAnuja dAsI NC Nappinnai ramanuja, "pavan_k523" <pavan_k523> wrote: > > > Namaskar, > I am a student and whenever i go to a temple i feel uneasy > as i dont know what is wrong and what is right and often when i try > to follow what my parents tell me my friends mock at me saying that i > am behaving as uneducated and at times my parents scold me for not > doing some things.At times i become an atheist listening to them even > though my inner consciuos dosen't.so i would be happy if any one > helps me to know few things about traditions followed and should be > followed in temples. > This is was the main reason that forced me to search for > any details of SRI RAMANUJACHARYAS TEACHINGS WHICH lead me to this > group.I found no books on the teachings and on the life of acharya > for long now i found a book on life history by swami ramakrishnananda > and i am reading it. > I would like to know the place to find wallpapers with > alvars or some quotes or traditions of the srisampradaya so that we > can never be away from godly thougt. > Thank you > pavan_k523 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
