Dear Members,
Regarding 'devatAntara-sambandha-varjanam' with respect
to the rivers, I had clarrified it as "na hi nidA".
>The noble doctrine of only meditating on and worshipping
>the Ultimate Cause is here reduced to a mockery of its
>true self.
The aim was not this. But as SrI Mani Varadarajan
says so, I request him and others not to take it in such
a sense. The "river concept" under discussions (in this context)
may not to be taken as a serious "philosophical" point.
But still, regarding the phrase 'paSupati-jaTA-sparSa-SUnya'
and "inappropriate quote", I will write to clarrify at a
latter date by quoting other scholars. I need some time to
get the exact reference titles etc.
I do acknowledge the greatness of the river gangA as celebrated in
the authentic scriptures. I agree with the greatness of jAnhavi (river
ganga) thoyam as "owshadam" (medicine) as it is
Trivikrama-tiru-vadi-theertham, and "vaidya:" (doctor) as NArAyaNa:
Hari: and I conclude this mail.
Thanks & Regards
M.S.HARI rAmAnuja dAsan (mshari@usa.net)
