NamaskaaragaLu,

 

I am deeply pained , seeing the uncontrolled discussions going on

this list. I really don't understand why we as followers of AchArya

madhwa have to discriminate among ourselves as belonging to some

maTha. I ask all the elders! Tell me one instance where AchArya

madhwa has told anything about him belonging to UttaradhimaTha or any

other maTha. He doesn't even mention about the ashTa maThas that he

is supposed to have established. Why are we acting like bigots? Is

this what AchArya madhwa extols?

 

Why doesn't everyone see the gurvanthargata mukhyaprANAntargata

lakshmI narasimha Devaru in everyone?

 

When will we lift ourselves form the agnAna of superiority of one

maTha over the other and start thinking that we are all the children

hungry for the nectar of the madhwa shAstra? Why do we want our self

to be associated with any maTha? What maTha did shrI jayatIrtharu

belong to? Has he claimed himself to be something like:

 

" shrIman madhwAchArya mUlamahAsmasthAna ….. matha pIThAdipathi shrI

1008 JayatIrtha krutha shrImannyAyasudhA ? For that matter none of

the great yatis claim to be affiliated to any maTha. When they

themselves are quite why are we fighting?

 

Still when the controversy about shrI vAdirAjaru is fresh and the one

about rAyaru and his maTha have to come up? Where is mUlarAma? mUla

rAma is in ones heart. AchArya madhwa says " sarvaprANi

hrudhisthAya " . Have we tried to discover mUlarAma in our heart?

 

It shows that we are more interested in matters other than

shAstrAbhyAsa and understanding AchArya madhwa's philosophy.

 

Are we mayAvadins who are in the guise of mAdhwas to show down madhwa

philosophy?? This is a serious doubt. Sometimes these discussions

are bound to stir the conviction that youngsters have in our

philosophy.

 

Remember dAsaru mock at people like us in his " Nindakarirabeku " . Also

kanakadAsaru says " nimma kulada neleyanEnAdaru balliraa " ? We sing

with all devotion the kritis composed by dAsaru , but have we

implemented them ? What is the difference between us and the parrot

which has been taught shAstra? It can only sing without knowing the

meaning. dAsaru says " achAravillada nAlige " and " nageyu barutide ,

jagodoliruva janarella hagaraNavanu mAduvudane kandu " .

 

When an aNurENuroopa krimi compared to staunch followers of AchArya

madhwa and the people who have studied AchArya madhwa's philosophy,

is feeling sad then what to speak of the stalwarts on this list and

core vishNu bhakthas on this list who are not interested in anything

except harinAma smaraNe and shAstra vishaya ?

 

 

When the situation is like this does it not be our bound

responsibility that we equip ourselves with shAsrta vishaya so that

we firmly believe and study AchArya madhwa's philosophy to guide

ourselves through the journey of life?

 

 

I joined this list thinking that I will gain more in AchArya madhwa's

philosophy. Why doesn't anyone discuss about his works ? Recently we

had jayatIrthara ArAdhane and vijayIndra tIrthara ArAdhane. But no

one wrote anything about them or their works. I saw so many mails

about vAdirAjaru , but not even one regarding a translation or

analysis of his rukminIsha vijaya or yukthimallika.

 

My humble request to all the elders is that they start with these

topics of the great works in order to enlighten us and this would

inturn put a full stop to such discussions.

 

Please think about this, I beg for kshamApaNa if I am wrong.
