How should a person behave with others

[Guest guest]

Respected Ramanuja Dasi,Your question of behaviour towards others and other religious thoughts are well phrased. We as Srivaishnavites are supposed to maintain our Srivaishnavism inspite of disturbance and our aim should be only serve the servants of Sriman Narayana meaning thereby we are supposed to follow our ancestors and serve our Acharyan. We should not even think that there is any other faith other than Srivaishnavism which is the foundation of human well being. We should follow the Guruparampara and enlighten others through practice of Dharma and Srivaishnavism is the ONLY faith which encompasses ALL in its fold and Supreme. We Srivaishnavites are CHOSEN by SRIMAN NARAYANA TO SERVE OUR ACHARYAN AND OUR AIM SHOULD ONLY BE TO ATTAIN MOKSHA THROUGH THIS SERVICE.i thought i can contribute in a small way to explain my understanding of our SRIVAISHNAVISM. If i am found to be wrong i may please be corrected for which i shall ever be greatful.Adien Ramanuja DasanPelapur R.Varadarajan.ramanuja From: sudhapaluri8Date: Tue, 10 Jun 2008 01:02:57 +0530[sri ramanuja] How should a person behave with others

I have a question in my mind from many days.I felt this is the group from where I can find answer to my question.

In a family there may be many people believing different gods(whom they think as gods).How should a person following vaishnavism behave with them. According to Bhagavad Ramanuja it is considered as a sin even to listen to prayers of others . They always play songs of others whom they believe as gods .They offer something and give as prasadams so how should a srivaishnavite behave in this situations.

dear group member,

 

Those situations are faced by numerous Vaishnavites

even in family set up. No doubt it is embarrassing.

But we have to address such situations to The Almighty

or Lord Ramanuja himself to change the situation. They

will definitely help you. Moreover think that a

situation is not against God but presented by

God.( " adhuvum avanadhu innarule " ). Because we have to

live with various people in this world.

 

From the perspective of orthodoxiness this question is

difficult to answer. Take that situation lightly as

that of a evening walk where we come across many,

without bothering about whether they are even

followers of Ramanuja.

 

The normal ideal reaction should be of extreme

patience and treating the situation positively

without scepticism, cynicism or enemity. Because

Ramanuja cannot be equated to any prophets who advise

any sort of violence (direct or subtle) against the

ones who dont follow his theory. Nor we can straighten

all overnight without divine intervention.

It is important you retain your affection to them

which is a first step to change them to your course.

" Affection " as in affection to all fellow living

beings.

 

Have dhaya over everybody for they do it because of

other powerful influences which is again an handiplay

of the Supreme.

 

Please make a list of all the benefits we have or get

daily. These " prasadha " are provided by God Himself

through many puppets. So if somebody comes with a

prasadha of other Gods know that they are only puppets

and dont be annoyed with puppets. Instead double your

devotion to The Supreme and Sri Ramanuja and His

faith in a soft manner.

 

the suggestion is given with utmost humility and may

not match with the powerful and potent offerings of

other knowledgeable group members. but hope that it

will help to some extent.

 

Adiyen Ramanuja Dhasan.

Jai Srimannarayana Sri Mathe Ramanujaya Namaha

 

i was also praying different god

but after some time one of my firend invited for divaprabandam satsang ,

at that time i refused to attand satsang.

 

then he told me that no need attand satsang atleast come and take prasadam

after eating prasadam regularly

 

i have also got taste of srivaishanwam.

all because, he is very sinciere devotte in srivaishnawam and he decided in his mind to pull me to srivaishnawam.

 

but he never advised anything directly, all he did indirectly.

 

but he always make me contact with srivaishnawam people

indirectly

that is why i got srivaishnva people darsan.

 

they will arrange some service to do to srivaishnawam people house indirectly

 

then they slowly gave some discourse cd about ramanuja story

and koorathalwan story

 

now i am regularly hearing any one of discourse -ramanuja smapradayam

 

so that in my experaince

 

if we are very sincere following srivaishnawam

then we can change others easily but we can not change others directly.

 

we can change others indirectly.

 

never they accept our words

 

no one can change / advice others directly.

 

even if yu see in alavandar acharya story

 

manamkal nambi puled alavandar to srivaishnawam

indirectly feeding food to him

 

we should not comment others and advice.

we have to follow sincere srivaishnawam

 

if any srivaishnawa devotte visted our house regularly

if our family members get darshan of srivaishnwa people

then there is chance to change all to srivaishnawam

..

 

we have to go to temple and collect prasdam and feed to them indirectly

then they will also change to srivaishnawam.

 

once they got srivaishnawam taste then they will not leave it.

 

until they get srivaishnawam taste

we have to be

very calm

 

if they do anything wrong with us

we should not get angry

we have to give respect to them with very smile

 

then they will start to think that

how is it poosible

even though we troble srivasihnawa people , they are not worry and they are happy.

.

then they will start to know about srivaishnawam

..

 

first we have to deal to our family members with love

because all people in earth are assets of lord sriman narayana

 

if we should not anger and hesitat in any situtation.

 

but one we should follow

we should not eat other god prasdam

 

 

i am poor in english and i have very less knowledge about srivaishnwam

and still i did not get ramanja thiruvadi sambandam

 

i am very eagar to get pancha samskaram

but still i did not get chance

 

now i started to learn about srivaishnawam

 

if there ia any mistakes in this mail

pl forgive me

Mandodari was a great Vaishnavite, but she lived well with rAvaNa,

and even wept on his death. So the best way of dealing with others

is treating them with love and respect only. There is a beautiful

Sloka by Sri Parasara Bhattar which says only by Her grace

(obviously meaning His grace as well) one can realize His supremacy,

even several Azhwars' pASurams say the same. Seshatvam is the

relationship between the individual self and the Lord. One may

realize I am meant for Him, other may not. So what?

Dear Ramanuja Dasi,

 

I would recommend a simple way that I practiced and followed based on My Acharyas preachings.

 

Do that thing which pleases your Acharya and Bhagavad Ramanuja and Perumal.

Hope it can clear your confusions to some extent.

The simplest solution(quick remedy for the modern world:) is just

recite Sri Vishnu Sahasra Namam daily in the evening around 6 PM. It

will start attracting all those who believe in other Gods and bring

them under the lotus feet of the lord Sriman Narayana - as the pala

sruthi says " aartha vishanna: shithilaascha bheethaa: ... sankeertya

naaraayana shabdamaatram vimuktha dhukka: sukhino bhavanthu " - just

the dedicated recitation will clear all these hurdles - You just have

the faith in Sriman Narayana and he will take care of how you should

behave with others and how others will behave with you

 

Once this first step works out, then get into the deeper philosophies

gradually with the works of pUrvAchAryAs.

 

adiyEn,

rAmAnuja dAsan

Dear Sri Vaishnava dasi I understand ur situation. I have also gone through the saem situation First and foremost thing that u should do is to pray Sriman Narayanan.to mend them rather get in to their sense and modify their thought that he is the one & only deity for a sri vaishnavite.Be bold enough to say no to Prasadams that they offer.Enlighten urself that Sriman narayanan is the only deity.know to justify this when you are questioned.Don't be harsh to them.Lord Ramanuja will give u the power to convince them. talk to them openly,politely.You can succeed as I succeeded in reforming my Husband. Ofcourse i was not successful with others.but never mind they are like passing cloudsbe arecieving bunker in front of them.may Acharyan Ramanujar be with you always.AdiyenSrivaishnava

After reading ur experience i feel ur the true Vaishnava who is blessed.GOD takes those people who r sincere.He even takes who don't want to join.Like Andal said in Koodarai vellum Govinda.In this case u were sincere SO NO SURPRISE THAT U WERE INDUCTED.That is HIS power.
