It seems to me that rather than understanding and following

Sri Ramanuja's principles, his "followers" are more

interested in making him an incarnation of x or y, make a

statue out of him and pour milk and honey on that statue.

So, whose incarnation is Desikar?

 

--badri

 

Don't be too hard on them, Badri. Your point

is entirely correct, but every religious

group is doing the same thing (in fact, many are

far far worse ), so it must be something innate

in man, to hold on to ritual even if the

principle is forgotten.

 

Guru Nanak satirized the thread of the dvija

as an outward show, empty of meaning, when the

real thread is the thread of bhakti etc. So

what happened ? His followers wear big prominent

turbans and beards and bangles, far more

showy than the humble thread, while bhakti

remains as elusive as a monsoon cloud in March.
