The Blind following When I used to visit GuruvAyUr, I used to see people crazy at Lord chanting 'GuruvAyUrappa! GuruvAyUrappA!' Many people complain…if you follow blindly some one that would be dangerous. One should study and decide for oneself is the universal prescription.

SreemathE Raamanujaya NamahaSreemadh Varavara munayE Namaha.adiyEn is constantly learning about our sampradhaayam and hence most of the time in 'listening' mode. But the sollaatchi of Swamy.Sreekanth's mail forced me to open up. Both in english and in Tamizh he is fantastic.(Blindly following someone or something is bad as per ulahavazhakku;but we can not follow this too blindly... wow fantastic usage of both english and tamizh).adiyen does not know whether it is proper to use the forum to express such appreciation in the midst of samradhaaya discussions by jaambavaans; pardon me for the interruption; adiyEn just wanted others also (if they had missed to note) to enjoy the

nectar of his writing. Hence the mail. Kshamikka vENum....adiyen Raamanuja daasan sundarSreekanth <sreekanth_aVanamamalai ; ramanuja Sent: Tuesday, August 22, 2006 11:17:20 AM The Blind following
