Respected elders, Though I do not know much to say on the above, I would like to quote Thondaradipodi alwar's pAsuram pointing on non believers of Sri Ranganatha. ' andarkOn amarum sOlai ani thirivarangamEnna mindar paindunnum chOttrai vilakki nAikku idumineere. ' He says people who do not utter the nAmA of SriRanganatha are not worthy of having food (not fit for survival) and we can remove their food and feed it to dogs. He implies that they instead of relishing on Him and His Temple, relish only on silly things like food which even a dog relishes. His contention is that, such people should not be enterained by the Devotees. I have not known this from any scholar, so if there is anything wrong, please pardon me. namo narayana, Rajamravikumar
