Sri: Srimate Sri Lakshmi Nrusimha ParaBrahmane Namaha Dear Sri Venkatesh , namo nArAyanA. kindly accept adiyen's pranAmams . ------------------------- Sri Venkatesh wrote : Sri Ramesh Sarangapani wrote : Quote ________ It is one thing to preach the charama slokam, but something all together different to execute it day-in-and-day-out (for all Tiru-alli-kAni vasis :-)) Unquote _______ Just because we are not able to follow what is said in the Charama Slokam doesn't mean that the Divya DEsam has lost its prominence. It is we who should follow what is said in the Charama Slokam. If we are not following the same, it is no good, be it that we are in ThiruvallikkENi or Ahobilam or any other Divya DEsam. Adiyen : The intention of Sri Ramesh has been unfortunately interpreted wrongly by Sri Venkatesh & adiyen can understand that it would have hurt him very badly. But , Sri Venkatesh didn't project that "hurt" in his later postings & was kind in taking that also somewhat lightly though he couldn't have digested his interpretation of Sri Ramesh's statement . Actually , the statement of Sri Ramesh regarding the " Practise of SaranAgati" was nothing to do with the KainkaryaparAs of ThiruvallikkENi ( ie. The statement doesn't mean that the devotees dedicated to Thiruvallikeni Divya Desam are not prapannAs ) . The purport of the remark was simply that MAlolan goes from village to village & AzhagiyaSingars perform "Prapatti" to the devotees , which is accepted by MAlolan , whereas in other Divya Desams , this doesn't take place ( ie. AchAryAs doesn't perform the Prapatti to devotees in front of PerumALs of other Divya Desams , whereas in front of MAlolan , it is happening . ) . So, Sri Ramesh says that eventhough pArthasArathy perumAL did the upadesam of Charama slokam , He is not accepting the "Prapatti" the way in which MAlolan is accepting => Not efficient in practise , though a great preacher . Ofcourse this has to taken in proper spirit & the whole debate regarding this issue has that inherent assumption . The remark was certainly not on bhAgavathAs performing kainkaryam to pArthasArathy perumAL . adiyen anantha padmanAbha dAsan krishnArpanam
