Respectful SwAmin, AdiyEn went through your

explanation about the sources for your write up on " A

Revolutionary Lady " .

AdiyEn feels that there is no need for this

explanation. Of cource, wherever a quote is given, it

will be most appropriate to give the source of the

quote.

AdiyEn learnt in several KAlakshepams, one fact -- it

may historic but it reveals the mind of our

poorvAchAryars. That frame of mind has been eroded

during the recent past for no reason.

During Sri Ramanuja's time, Tiruvaimozhi was the

subject of intensive kalakshepam by SriBhashyakaraa

himself. There was no written commentary. The Acharya

was requested by the desciples to write a commentary

for the Prapandam of Sri Nammazhvar so that the

Acharya's interpretation of the verses in Tiruvaimozhi

will be available for the posterity. Sri Ramanuja's

immediate reaction was negative. The reason he said

was really indicative of is greatness. He said, if he

put the interpretation in writing, it will be seen as

a scripture and the future generation will never

attempt to further improve it. The verses have a lot

of meanings and aspects of significance that may be

found by the bhagavathas in future. If he put his

views in writing that will be the end of it. No one

will make attempt to think afresh on Azhvar's

outpourings, saying whaterever has been written by him

(Sri Ramanuja) is THE interpretation and any more new

thoughts will be curbed.

Later, he asked Tirukkurkaippiran PiLlan to write only

a brief commentary on Tiruvaimozhi. It is a fact that

new commentaries came out later, such as

Onpathinaayirappadi, eedu etc. which gave a huge

amount of new thoughts, of cource , within the

traditional frame work. There is nothing wrong in

writing new commentaries within our siddhanta.

Freedom of expression should be there. Otherwise,

there will be stagnation and no initiative will come

up. That will be the beginning of the end of our

sampradaya which will remain confined to a few persons

only and in future it will be reduced to nothing and

burried in the archives.

Even if you have given new ideas, there is nothing

wrong. You have done a service only.

Sorry for this long writing.
