re. visiting anyadevatha temples

[Guest guest]

Dear Vaishnava and bhagavathas,

 

Shrimathe Ramanujaaya Namaha!

 

A small clarification from any of the learned members of this group

pls.

 

A Vaishnavite devotee who has undergone Samasrayanam (Pancha

Samskaram) from the hands of his / her Acharyan, can he /she go to a

non-vaishnava temple such as Shiva, Vinayaka and Muruga?

 

Any restriction has been laid by Sri.Ramanujar ont his front?

 

Adiyen

 

*** This question sounds that, the thing instructed by Shri Ramanuja only can

abidable?!

Any One can go to any temple with " All Chethana, Achethana in this world are

'Sareeram' of the 'Para Brahmam'.

Secondly :

This should be look into different angle. Getting 'Samashryanam or Prapatti'

should be think as a soul is promissing 'Pramaathma' that " I realised that you

are my Husband and you are the ultimate destination for me. I left everything

with you, I have no desires in this material world, so, there is no necessary

for me to praise anybody in this world. "

 

After the above promise, I hope there is no necessary to explain anything.

Also it should be treated as a married woman is asking a question :- Why I

should not ask the person other than my husband for a silk saree?

 

This 'Anya devada' worship discussion has been arraised in our (M.A.Vainavam)

class few days back.

They all felt that one can not see / think any other Devada as 'Vishnu' while

worshipping those devada in any other form.

I told, it is because of lack of maturity. If you are able to understand the

meaning of the 'Shrudhi'(Vedham) " Sarvaan Angaani Devadha: " , you can think it

as, decorating the different portion of the body of a human with different

arnament. Like that, A vaishnavite should always be with the knowledge that we

are worshipping an organ of 'Maha Vishnu' in this place.

But 'Bhagavath Apacharam' is described as follows:

'Thinking all devadas are equal to Maha Vishnu' is 'Bhagavath Apacharam'.

 

Also, these are all not common subjects. This are all coming under " Rahasyas "

should be discussed in personal not in groups.

Dear Vasu Mama

wonderful.

Thank you very much for your elaborate - understandable explanation.

Adiyen will not do any Bhavath abacharam.

 

Adiyen also noted the point that these things shall not be discussed

in group.

 

Adiyen also believe that if your explanation is taken into heart in

right spirit - none of the group members would try to discuss it in

the group

 

Thank you once again
