Sri Vaishnava Committee

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

Referring to all recent problems against Tirupathi Temple and other common Sri

Vaishnava issues, adiyEn would like to share my view.

 

1. Why cant we have a Central Sri Vaishnava Forum or Committee

where all Sri Vaishnava Mutt heads inlcuding both kalais become

members. This commitee can decide and approve all the generic

vaishnava issues.

 

Example 1: Tirupathi Temple issue,

Example 2: To oppose to any magazines/Films etc which degrades

SriVaishnavism.

 

2. Committee chairman post can be of rotating type. One year

Vanamamalai Jeer Swami can head and next year Andavan swami

can head and it goes on to all the mutt heads on yearly basis.

 

3. Committee can be a single unified voice against all issues.

Currently that is lacking which is misused by all politicians, non

vaishnavaite mutt heads and magazines.

 

4. Committee can initiate all generic steps to propogate Sri Ramanuja's

philosophy and implement and suggest right temple worships etc.

 

5. Important factor for conversion in India is "Caste" This committee can

devise ways to reach people and clarify about varnashrama dharma

and stop the conversion. Current threat is that even divya desams are

filled by non hindus. At Thanjavoor, lot of places have already gone.

Divyadesam like thErezhundoor do have non hindus inside the main

veethi. If we do not stop, we can have the divyadesams on website

only.

 

6. Committee can setup a Research unit on Vedas and Divya

prabandams. Currently students out of padasalas are either becoming

archakas or purohitars(vaathyaars). Instead if select people are

involved in scientific research on Vedas and Prabandams, that will

support the teaching on vaishnavism.

 

Please comment on this and if viable, we can take the idea to the acharyas.

 

Thanks,

Srinath.

Dear Bhagavatas:

Many of our members (who have been on our lists from the beginning)

would remember how, long ago, I had spearheaded the "Unity movement"

among Srivaishnavas. Even back in India, we are a miniscule minority

and any bickerings among us on matters too insignificant to discuss,

would only expose us as the laughing stock in the eyes of others.

That is why, I coined and presented the following slogan-

 

"At least in the United states, let us be in the united state"

 

Hope this will be an eye opener for us and let us turn a new leaf

in our mutual relations. It will be my pleasure and duty to be part

of any endeaavors in this regard.

Dear All,

Sreemathe Ramanujaya Namaha:

This is an excellent suggestion. can all the Vaishnavagroups on the internet

form a committe to work as an agitating group to pave way for a much wider

discussions on this subject. A model code of conduct and a common minimum

programme can be worked out to kick start this approach. Can we rise

beyond our narrow outlook and widen our vision to greater vistas? This will

be an excellent service to Emberumanar Sri Ramanuajar Himself.

This is a poser to members of all groups.

Adiyen,

Dasan,

Ramanujam.

Dear Bhaktas,

 

It will be our sacred duty to unite and take all these

types of attacks head on. Our revered aharyas are

doing this thing. We have Srimad Aandavan swami and

the

Jeer swami joining hands often.

 

We should emulate our leaders instaed of thinking I am

the leader. We should emulate the thought that we are

but servants only of him, in the real sense.

Sreemathe Ramanujaya Namaha:

Dear All,

I would request our enlightened members like Sarva Sriman Anbil Ramaswami

Iyengar, Sriman Sadagopan Iyengar, Sriman Sadagopan of MIT(USA), Sriman MK

Sudarsan, Sriman Srinath Venkata Krishnan, Smt. Jayasree, Dr. Kidambi

Ramakrishna of Hyderabad and others to explore whether we can form a

combined committee with the sole purpose of putting in efforts for unifying

the Sri Vaishnavas at least on the internet. A small step can lead to

greater things in future. Let us all start with what is called in Telugu,

"UduthA Bhakti", the dedication and devotion of a squirrell, which refers to

the episode of the squirrel's help in building the Vaaradhi (bridge) to

Lanka in Ramayanam in the Yuddha Kandam. (This story is in Jaanapada

Kavyams, meaning tales of commonfolk. I don't know whether it is in the

Moolam).

Dear all,

 

What is the first step in this movement?

How are we going to make people aware of this?

 

We want Aacharyas spearhead the movement. But then we have to have the

objectives set very clearly. Otherwise this whole effort will wither away

without any significant benefits.

 

Regards,

Shriram
