With reference to a posting on 'Why Sri Vishnavas should not go to other

temples';   this question is similar to asking a married woman why she
does'nt go to other men's houses.  A married woman loves whole and sole
her husband only.  Anybody else at the most she just does'nt hate.  Near

and dear related to her husband or herself,  she just gives respect.
But her husband is everything for her.  Only then,  the relationship
remains successful and long lasting.

     Similarly all Sri Vaishnavas are simply those who are   wedded to
Lord Laxmi Narayana who is also Lord Vishnu.  Others immediately in line

with Lord Vishnu like Nitya Sooris are also fully acknowledged for
guiding us to Lord Vishnu.  Any other Devatas (or Demi Gods who are all
performing their duties) need not be prayed, but at the same time need
not be hated.  Only during certain Vedic functions due
acknowledgements/respects are given accordingly to prime Demi gods.  But

whole and sole all the Sri Vaishnavites are totally wedded to Lord
Vishnu through our Acharyas and Azhwars who inspire us for the same.
Only then our relationship with Paramatma successfully lasts undiluted
for ever   --- Manasa/VAcha/Karmana
