Dear Sri Murali Kadambi Swami:

 

namo narayana!

 

You raise some important and valid questions for

which adiyEn is least qualified to give answers.

Kindly approach your Acarya and find the answers

and then please do share them with us so that

all of us can benefit.

 

Personally, highly esoteric technical questions

such as perumal's swaroopam and perumal's roopam

go way above my head. Hopefully adiyEn will be

excused for the lack of mental faculties to

understand these concepts. However, adiyEn

will not object to these questions that only a

few are learned enough to raise and fewer still

are smart enough to understand the answer.

 

On the other hand, prapatti, and personal conduct

that is consistent with prapatti, are of great

concern to me, and to many others. Thus adiyEn

is deeply indebted to those who have raised

questions about temples with anya devata, anya

devata in carnatic music, etc. adiyEn lives in

a place not very different from Boyce, Idaho,

when it comes to " Hindu " temples. But for the

questions some have asked in the upanyasam

adiyEn's prapatti may have been in jeopardy.

Thus, strictly as a participant of upanyasams,

adiyEn welcomes these questions in public so

that everyone can benefit and would like to

express a deep sense of gratitude.

 

However, if there are many who are upset with

having to hear answers that are not to their

liking, then, adiyEn as the organizer will

reluctantly ask the participants not to raise

such questions during upanyasams. Please let

me know by e-mail.

 

adiyEn would like to leave everyone with a

question of my own, in public :-). Would a

participant of a private conference on health

matters object to raising questions about food

choices, on the basis that some of the answers

may require him/her to give up certain foods

that he/she has loved all his/her life?

p.s.

Questions about aupasanam, unca vritti, etc.

were indeed raised during past upanyasams and

were answered by Srimad Azhagiya Singar.
