A chance to do "Social Service" the Shrivaishnava Way!
From the Bhakti List Archives
• July 9, 2001
SrimatE rAmAnujAya nama: Dear Athmabhandus: Most of you may be aware that Sri Sri Sri Tridandi Ramanuja Jeer Swamy will soon be here in the USA to raise funds for building a small town in Gujarat's earth-quake stricken area. His Holiness's way is like a mother feeding medicine to a sick child i.e., a wise mother who knows that medicine may not be liked by her child, mixes the medicine with milk(and may be honey?) and feeds it. In this case, "mother" is the Jeer swamy, "milk" is the external bodily comforts He is planning to provide for the masses affected in Gujarat and finally the doctrine of Shrivaishnavism, that the people in the new town will be exposed to gradually, is the "medicine" to make them develop a desire to attain the ultimate "Kainkarya Shri" and get redeemed of the horrors of the cycle of rebirth. As one can see, this is "ultimate" social service that anyone can think of... This is also a golden opportunity for all of us to contribute not only to a "social" cause but towards the ultimate good of several souls...
