Well here is a start to the discussion .. please try and help me out
with this one.
Well What is the difference between Brahmins/SriVaishnavas?
Other than the known one that is brahmins follow shiva and
sri-vaishnavas follow vishnu. Even I can give that reason.
I guess I am looking a for a more detailed reason. I looked
into a few books spent over 200 dollars on them .. just so I
can find out the difference .. may be one of you scholars
can clarify that for me.
Another thing I have always wondered is.. well what is the
difference between Iyengars and Sri-vaishnava's why is it
that where ever I go I here tamilians say that Iyengars are
better and telugus say Sri-vaishnavas are better .. what happens
to people like us who are originally tamil iyengars but settled
in Andhra.
Please I am asking these questions because I ignorant ..
in this aspect of our culture .. therefore please
forgive me if I made any derogatory comments.
