TIRUPPAVAI - PART 2

From the Bhakti List Archives

Sadagopan • December 19, 1998 


Dear Sri Anbil Swami :

I very much regret to write these few words.
I find the following remarks by yourself 
very offensive .Not every one has your BhAgyam.
But the effect of all these kalakshEpams has 
to lead to the encouragement of others to participate in
the spirit of " kUdi Irunthu kuLirnthOrempAvAi "
and not to shut them out .Putting others down 
should not be an end message .with your depth of connections 
to AchAryAs , You should set an example and lead us .
 
Sri Rengarajan 's postings on ThiruppAvai 
are welcomed by many , whose mother tongue is
not Tamil ; further , many of us do not have 
the depth of understanding that you have for
Divya Prabhandhams and it is most enjoyable to
read the SvAnubhavams of Sri Rengarajan . It is also
fair to say that there are other forums and lists ,
where deeper research on the nirvAhams can 
be posted and appreciated . 

Daasan , V.Sadagopan

                                     ??????????????????????????????????????
This is the most offensive pasage that I have come across in a long time .

>Even though, I had such a Bhagyam of listening to various Acharyas'
>Kalakshepams, my absorption is zero and my memory power subzero, due perhaps
>to my age. For these reasons, I cannot claim to offer any better
>presentation than what others have been contributing.
