Dear members,
I do not see anything wrong in asking our children in following the
practices applicable to their sect. If born as an Iyer or Iyengar , then it
is the duty of the parents to teach them the worship methods applicable to
the sect to which they belong. We should also tell them about our Acharyas.
After all there is beauty only in diversity. But there should be unity in
diversity.
Iyengar sect is very much a minority community in TN except that there is
concentration inplaces like Srirangam, Kumbakonam, Kanchi etc. Every effort
should be made to preserve this sect and teach our children about the
philosophy. Otherwise , it will become extinct like what the Parsi community
is facing today.   All these are prasadam of The Lord; we should preserve
these ideologies.

The word " Nara"( man)  has come from " Narayana" . Whether one is Iyer or
Iyengar we can tell the child that Lord Sreeman Narayana is the protector of
this World and worship we do to Siva or Ganesha goes to Him.

I must say that , I am no where near compared to other exponents in this
group, this attempt is just an inspiration.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL
VKV
