Guest guest Posted May 6, 2003 Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 Jai Sriman Narayana We are the children of our EmberumAnAr. We have no other saviour. We should be the most happy people on the earth for the Lord had graced us with the association of Sri Ramanuja. Whatever we are, however we are, we have come into the shelter of our Ramanuja. On our EmberumAnAr's tirunakshatram, lets say to ourselves that we know only one thing - "We belong to Sri Ramanuja" and pray to our Ramanuja to always keep us glued to his feet. Isn't this much enough for us?. Everyone knows that we are identified with our body, our tradition, language only as long as we are alive. What on earth makes us quarrel amongst ourselves then?. And that too after being under the shelter of Swami Ramanuja? If the quarrel is due to the ego, then where is this ego coming from?. Did we earn this knowledge on our own effort?. It was Swami Ramanuja who presented it in the easiest way to us. It was the great AchAryAs who followed Sri Ramanuja who protected it continuously. We just got it from them due to their grace and does it make any sense for us to quarrel and show of our ego?. Are we fit enough to do it?. And if the fight is about who is great and who is more learned...Understand one thing...First of all we cannot fathom this nature. We cannot give a good explanation for many day to day occurences. Then what makes us feel proud of our knowledge about the Lord?. Have anyone of us seen Him?. These differences will only pain our Swami. And I am sure, the Lord will not pardon those who talk ill of others behind them and bring disgrace to this sampradayam. JAI SRIMAN NARAYANA The New Search - Faster. Easier. Bingo.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2003 Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 SrI: SrimathE RaamAnujAya nama: Dear BhakthAs: On this auspicious day (987th birthday ) of the avathAra dinam of our dearest AchAryan , I am very happy to share this note below from SrI Maruthi Pavan of India , which appeared in the sister lists. I fully endorse his most sincere appeal and wish to state that there is so much room under the cool shade of the kalpaka Vruksham of AchArya RaamAnujA . AchArya RaamAnujA's Millenium avathAram Celebration is approaching in 14 years (2017 A.D). One of the goals of the establishment of the Ramanuja Society is to plan way ahead of time a grand celebration with durable institutions on ground such as an University named after Him to benefit all VaishnavAs and abhimAnis intersted in SrImad Bhagavath RaamAnuja SampradhAyam . With our AchAryan's anugraham and participation by all VaishNavite AchAryans and their SishyAs , I feel confident that such a durable institution at an appropriate site would be established and be a beacon of light for years to come as a place to learn about , practise and strengthen this ancient sampradhAyam . May we all thrive from this mahA Sambhandham that we are blessed to have in common ! RaamAnuja Daasan,V.Sadagopan > >Jai Sriman Narayana We are the children of our EmberumAnAr.
