Dear Bhaktas,
The onging discussion on sri vaishanvas based on Vaikanasa and PAnchrAtra
findings are interesting. But I have few observations in this regard. The
Madhwas (Dwaitha philosphy followers) also worship Vishnu as the Supreme God
but do not give place/significance to Mahalaxmi ( periya pirati) as Sri
vaishnavas do. That is why Sri is prefixed to differentiate Sri Vaishnavas
( one who always worship Vishnu along with Mahalaxmi) to pure Vaishnavas
only vishnu worshippers). So mostly after Sri Madhwacharya period the
difference must be surfaced for distinguishing the sect/cult.
