Visiting Brindavans - First obtain endorsement of your opinion from your Jeevitha acharya

February 17, 2009

Dear Swamins,

Thanks for this lively debate.

Adiyen regrets his inability to agree with the views expressed by Sri Hayavadhanan.

The Swamin is entitled to his views and visit other temples or brindavanams of other Acharyas, Deities etc., Adiyen has no comments at all on this excepting to suggest that he check with his preceptor whether - after Baranyasam - he can do so. If his Preceptor agrees, adiyen is nobody to comment! Adiyen is expressing the practice in Srirangam Srimad Andavan Asramam as we have understood the teachings of our Acharyas.

If the Swamin has performed Saranagathi already and still wants to visit/ has already visited other temples, adiyen has nothing to say again!

Adiyen categorically reiterates the points already expressed in adiyen's postings in andavn & in Sri Ranganatha Paduka in this regard.

Adiyen's postings will continue in both forums.

Warmest Regards

RR

srI: Dear Sir: The Acharyas never ever prphibited us from visiting other brindavanams or temples. At the personal end, my acharyan never mentioned me not to visit other places. Besides, not many of us are not AWARE of " Why one prapannan should not visit other temples " ? She or he need not be a brahmin to attain prapatti. The utmost devotion to the lord is what we expect and the same are perpetuated in other religions too. (In fact, they copied them from us).

Hinduism, like a banyan tree, has it roots magnificently up and down and trailed its veiled doctrines (laid out by different acharyas) to the nook and corner of the world. The acharyas are all interfaces in our sect within our religon whose main bounden duty to safeguard the principles of their own sect. (Absolutley, one acharya is not enough for the whole) unlike Rome. Besides, there were too many miscommunications within the sect which created a difference between us. Hence, even today, we as Hindus don't have " Oneness " .

To your another question in order to get endoresement from my immediate acharaya: All the great acharyas renounced worldly pleasures (irrespective of any sects within our religion) and dedicated their lives for a noble cause.

Endorsement is a property of " pleasure " and an attribute of " likes " . How can a sadhu endorse something? Suffice to say, the Jeevathma does not have control over by any acharya. It has its own.

If my own athma and conscience are clear and functioning in the right directions, I am what I am.Namo Namo Nrisimhaya Malolaya Namo Namaha! -- Parimukhan Singapiraan

Dear Srivaishnava Adiyars,

Kindly get endorsement from your jeevitha acharya(who have done samasrayanaum and Baranyasaum to u all) for your opinion on visiting other sidhantha acharya Brindavanaum.

In Srivaishnava Sampradayam itself there r lot of reservation about visiting Brindavanaum along with temple visit(ex.Srirangam Temple visit and Sriramanuja sanadhi visit).

Further I hereby request Dr.Sadagopan swamy's to throw his views on this issue for our group members benefit.

I personally thanking Shri.RR swamy for raising this topic .
