Sri Hari's point is well taken, he is one of the gems among

the contributors to our divine net. Please permit me to offer

some clarifications.

 

Our Sri Malola Paduka Sevaka Net was founded by divine

sankalpam. The reason I say this is because when the idea

came to a few of us, adiyEn did not have any prior technical

knowledge of running an e-mail list. At that time we did not

have . It was like Periyazhvar going to the Pandiya

King's court to defeat the vedic scholars.

 

However, when adiyEn started researching on how to setup the list

everything fell into place so nicely that it could not have been

anything other than Sri Malolan guiding us. When we faced what

seemed to be insurmountable hurdles we miraculously found nice

and easy solutions, much like Periyazhvar easily finding arguments

against the paNditAs. Like the golden purse that came down to the

easy reach of Periyazvar, the technical aspects of Sri Malolan Net

fell into place on its own accord. Our Sri Net is very much the

prize like Periyazhvar's kizhi of gold. Thus, there is no doubt

in adiyEn's mind that our net was founded by divine sankalpam and

no one-individual or group of individuals can claim responsibility

for it.

 

The rules governing the net were developed jointly by adiyEn,

Jagan, Rengi, and Anand. It was then approved by the board of

Sri Ahobila Muth. The posts in this net are not moderated, but

they are monitored by a committee, not a single individual. The

committee has not been a docile one. Even though we did not

face difficult situations often, whenever we did, the monitoring

committee acted decisively with authenticity to sampradayam

as the sole guiding principle, not personal opinions and preferences.

 

All of us committed to Sampradayam can derive quiet satisfaction

that there is a place in this crazy Internet where we can boldly

proclaim any part of our Sampradayam and glorify our Acharyas

without getting criticized. Thank goodness for that and let this

divine net live for many thousand years,

 

" pallANdu, pallANdu, pallAyiraththAaNdu " .

p.s. adiyEn is not suggesting that the few of us are in

any way comparable to PeriyAzhvAr. The scope of the

example of Periyazhvar's visit to Pandiyan's court

is strictly restricted to showing the role of bhagavath

sankalpam in the formation of Sri Malolan Net.
