Srimate Sri Lakshmi - Nrusimha Divya PAdukA Sevaka -
Srivan Shatagopa Sri NArAyana Yateendra MahAdesikAya Namaha
Dearmost Sri VaishnavAs ,
Namo NArAyanA . kindly accept adiyen's pranAmams.

Everyone knows that it is the same NArAyanA who has taken
different forms as RanganAthar , SrInivAsar , PeraruLALan etc.
But each archAvatAram is unique on its own . Though the ultimate
reason for PerumAL to take various archAvatArams is to please His
devotees , the leelAs employed by the PerumAL from various Divya
Desams are different . It is similar to how eventhough KrishnA &
RAmA are the same NArAyanA in different forms , their leelAs were
different . So , the debate boils down to the discussion on these
lines . NArAyanA cannot be limited to say 50 or 100 kalyAna gunAs.
It is countless . Infinite are His ways also in which NArAyanA deals
with His devotees . It is this variety of exhibition of His kalyAna
gunAs to His devotees that makes even the dry samsAric life (ie.
association with a material body) also to be as good as a life in
Sri Vaikuntam .
Infact the very reason for NArAyanA to take various avatArams is
to make the jIvAtmAs get attracted in any one of His forms/leelAs
etc. So, if a devotee strongly feels that PerumAL in one Divya Desam
is the superior most in comparison with other Divya Desa perumALs ,
then NArAyanA is infact highly pleased , since the very reason for
His archAvatAram in that particular form is to make His devotee have
a strong personal relationship with respect to that form.
Ofcourse , the answer to the debate is already known . Our AchAryAs
have already clearly mentioned it . But the purpose of the debate
is to experience the kalyAna gunAs of Sriman NArAyanA in a different
way viz. friendly arguments & thereby bringing out the glories of
different Divya Desams .
----------------------
Transgression of facts (during arguments concerning the superior
perumAL ) , wherever it is made in the drAmA will be made evident in
the form of a dialogue . So , one needn't be guessing whether the
statements are either facts or not. The actual debate will start
from the next posting . So this info is for the next posting
basically .

The great bhAgavathA Sage NArAdA goes to the kArya Vaikuntam (*)
& offers mangaLAsAsanam to Sriman NArAyanA :
NAradar :
PallAndu pallAndu pallAyirathAndu pala koti NoorAyiram
mallAnda thinthOL manivannA Un sevadi sevvi thiruk kAppu
adiyomodum ninnodum pirivinri Ayiram pallAndu
vadivAi nin valamArbinil vAzhginra mangaiyum pallAndu
vadivAr sothi valaththurayum sudar Azhiyum pallAndu
padai pOr pukku muzhangum ap pAnchajanniyamum pallAnde
NArAyanA : Please come NAradA. I am highly pleased by your kind visit.
NAradar : Oh my dear Lord ! adiyen is in this status by your mercy
only . PallAndu to your infinite kalyAna gunAs . All
Your bhAgavthAs faint while thinking about your Soulabhyam
& Sowseelyam inspite of Yourself being the Para Brahman &
Master of all .
NArAyanA : Is there any special purpose for your visit ?
NAradar : Eventhough You know whats going on in adiyen's mind , it is
Your Wish to hear from adiyen itself . So, as a servant of
Yours , adiyen will act as per Your desire .
adiyen is not able to tolerate the aj~nAnam (ignorance)
prevailing in the earth. kali yugA is very horrible .
Earth is filled with so many athiests . Not only that they
don't know about You , they also mislead so many other
people . So called "Scientists" of the earth propagates
non-sensical theories like Universe was born on its own
with some big bang or something like that ; Life originated
from matter etc . These people are glorified as the topmost
intellectuals of the society & all the people blindly
follow their dictations in all spheres of life. All the
children are made to believe such things & brain washed from
their childhood to develop athiestic attitudes . The limit
to which the materialistic science can work or possibly
yield fruitful results is not understood by the people .
The most unfortunate part is that even the pure vedAs ,
IthihAsa purAnAs after getting into the hands of ignorant
ones are heavily suffering . Many men in the name of
modern philosophers , Indologists & researchers write
hundreds of books on vedAntA , purAnAs etc with their own
speculative ideas . They misinterpret them and causes
much more confusions by forming their own individual
philosophy derived out of vedAntA . Added to this confusion
is the presence of many more philosophies that are not based
on vedAs.
IthihAsa purAnAs are branded as fictitious stories , mere
employment of symbolism etc . All Your most merciful
avatArams & leelAs are considered as some fairy tale for
mere learning of some ordinary dharmA. Existance of demigods
are not understood & are considered as some symbolic
representations. The apaurusheyA vedAs are considered to
be some speculative ideas written in the form of texts.
You Yourself experienced how the asurAs & fools were
ignorant about your supra mundane LeelAs during Your vibhava
avatArams . In archAvatAram You are experiencing worser &
worser apachArams. Many pseudo intellectuals think foolishly
that ,since You are present everywhere (Divya Atmasvaroopam)
, worshipping You specifically at Temples is mere
sentimentalism. Many speculate that man created God &
worship through Agama sAstrAs is some symbolism . Blood is
oozing out of adiyen's eyes due to such blasphemies , O my
Lord !
People hardly understand that as soon as the prathistA for
the vigrahA is done , You make the sAnidhyam in it by mixing
the suddha sattvam into the vigrahA & thereby making it Your
divine body (divya mangaLa vigraham) & thus it is no more a
mere stone or a wood or whatever it was before. Only Your
dear devotees understand Your unlimited mercy in taking an
archAvatAram by accepting whatever name & form they give and
give them the oppurtunity to serve You with pure love , that
being their svaroopam (nature).
As long as the jIvAtmA is with material body , it has no
scope of having the vision of You (DivyAtma svaroopam). It
is only possible at Sri Vaikuntam. Thus , Your Divya MangaLa
vigrahA (form) is the sole refuge for all the baddha
jIvAtmAs. Also, only fortunate souls can have the sevai
(vision/darSan) of Your Divya MangaLa vigrahA at Ksheera
sAgarA, kArya vaikuntam , one's heart (hArdan) etc . Being
not in the same timeperiod as that of Your Vibhava
avatArams like NrusimhA , RAmA & KrishnA , Your sevai
(darSan) at various Temples remains as the people's only
refuge .
Just reading the pramAnams here & there, boosts heavily the
ego of many people & make them think that they are
independent & not subservient to You ; while others due to
ignorance foolishly equate You with all demigods like Lord
BrahA, Lord ShivA & others . They don't understand that
You being completelty free of all karmA eternally , the
divya mangaLa vigrahA You posses in archAvatArams
are of the combination of the suddha sattvA in matter and
not like the vigrahAs of other demigods which doesn't have
any connection with Suddha sattvA due to the connection of
karmA with all jIvAtmAs that are given the post of some
demigod .
Parama BhAgavathOthamAs involved in the propagation of the
Prapatti mArgA & the glorious Rahasya Traya mantrAs are
being neglected & even rediculed as sentimentalists etc by
many ignorant men. Thinking of all Your most merciful
avatArams drive all Your devotees mad & how can adiyen
forget the devotional outpourings of Your most beloved
AzhvArs ? Hardly anyone understands the most important
sarIra - sarIrI bhAvA which exists between jIvAtmA & You ,
as well as between achit & Yourself .
Many think that by merely reading 5 or 10 books on vedAntA
will make him a master of it & can know about all the
tattvA , hitA & purushArthA easily , while actually being
ignorant of the fact that it is actually You out of Your
mercy rewards them according to their sincerity &
qualification . The unfortunate part is that , most of the
writers of such books are themselves in confused state who
think that whatever they feel is the tattvA . Even the most
precious gems amongst granthAs from Your sampradAyam ,
fiercefully preached by Bhagavad RAmAnujA, is read like a
novel by many ,due to which they are also in confused
state , since how will You benedict them the divine
knowledge , when there is no expression of humility &
submissiveness towards the SadAchAryA ,atleast as a token of
respect for their unlimited mercy in blessing them through
their granthAs , while actually no act of theirs can be
thought of as a repay of their debts to their AchAryAs .
Hardly one realizes the importance of a SadAchAryA & the
SatsampradAyam . Your own Bhagavad sAstrA (pAncarAtrA) is
unfortunately rejected by many because of their ignorance.
Hardly one follows the Do's & Dont's of sAstrAs which are
Your divine commands . Not only that many are indulging
simply in materialistic things , they also committ excessive
apachArams unto You & Your devotees .
As soon as SisupAlan started deriding You , all the Rishis
evacuated the place since their tapas will completely be
destroyed by hearing such blasphemy . But now everywhere in
the world , these type of blasphemies in various ways are
present in various degrees . What can Your devotees do ?
Many have already piled lots of sins & involve themselves in
bhagavad apachArams. adiyen is not able to digest the amount
of suffering they are undergoing now & will be undergoing in
the future . Being unbiased as a IswarA , You are equal to
all & reward according to their desires & karmA , thus not
interfering with their free will. But Oh my Lord , please
transfer all their sins unto adiyen & let adiyen suffer in
various hells for thousands of years , while they all after
realizing their svaroopA(nature) as Your eternal servant
& thereby performing prapatti will be in bliss by performing
kainkaryam unto You at Sri Vaikuntam .
It is very rare to see those ParamaikAntins who being
burdenless ,after their bhara samarpanam unto You, are
engaging themselves in Bhagavad & BhAgavatha kainkaryam
alone, with least botherations about the materialistic
world.
NArAyanA : Oh My dear NAradA ! I understand Your deep concern for
the welfare of all the baddha jIvAtmAs . It is My sankalpam
to not force any jIvAtmA & make them act contradictory to
their wishes . As you know , I go by their acts (karmA) &
reward accordingly . I give refuge to those who perform
prapatti unto Me . The only way to turn their attention unto
Me is the glorification of My kalyAna gunAs in various ways
while particularly referring to My archAvatAra leelAs .
If one listens to My avatAra LeelAs from a parama bhAgavathA
he will atonce be purified . Such paramaikAntins are there
near Thiru alli kEni divya desam , while actually performing
kainkaryam unto Me present as Satya NArAyanan at West
MAmbalam .
NAradar : NArAyana ... NArAyana . adiyen understood Your thiru ULLam.
Its adiyen's bhAgyam to be Your instrument in starting a
LeelA of Yours . adiyen is atonce going there .
NArAyana .....NArAyana .

------------------------------------
(*) kArya vaikuntam : Replica of Sri Vaikuntam (parama padam) within
the materialistic world wherein great rishis , sages etc get the
bhAgyam of performing mangaLAsAsanam to Sriman NArAyanA . All
the incidents narrated in the purAnAs like Curse to JayA & VijayA,
Visit of Bhrugu Maharishi & hitting Lord's chest etc took place
in this kArya vaikuntam & not in the Sri Vaikuntam to which only
jIvAtmAs released from bondage of samsArA can enter . In other
words , those having materialistic bodies ( ie. those who are
having association with karmA ) cannot enter Sri Vaikuntam .
Sri Vaikuntam doesn't have anything associated with matter . All
are made up of suddha sattvA out there . There is no more
association with karmA (ie. taking up of materialistic bodies) for
those who have attained moksham (ie. those who have entered Sri
Vaikuntam) .Information on the life at Sri Vaikuntam is very
difficult to explain since one can understand it only after
reaching there . It is similar to how one can tell that Mango is
very tasty & give some analogies for explaining it; but , the real
taste can be understood only after practically eating it .
Ofcourse Kaushiytaki upanishad , ThiruvAimozhi , Vaikunta Gadyam ,
Sri Vaikunta sthavam & other similar pramAnams explain the needful
for us . ParamaikAntins can have the understanding of the bliss
one will be having at Sri Vaikuntam.
