My reply
Dear Sri Balaji Raman

Let me first thank you for a genuine query.

I agree with your view. It is not that the SwAmi challenges in the spirit of 
threatening.
SwAmi is only taking privileges with the Lord in a kind of ' PraNaya kalaham' 
so often featured in the works of AzhwArs and AachAryas.  I am trying to 
bring out a new dimension for appreciating the kaleidoscopic presentation in 
his own inimitable style, the various moods and sentiments in this mode 

May I request you kindly to read the Introduction to this part of the series 
posted on 10th October 99?  I have clearly indicated therein that these 
challenges have to taken as a kind of friendly banter.

Hope this helps. If you have any questions, please write to me in private as 
you have done now and I should be more than happy to answer your concerns.
