In the case of Thirumangai mannan, he cooperated with Kumudhavalli naachiyar. What came out of this is there for all to see. In the case of Sri Ramanuja he had to enter into sanyasam due to lack of cooperation. Most people would have acquiesced in favor of domestic peace. For performing even simple devotional activities cooperation between spouses is important. Not many would be prepared to enter into sanyasam in order to continue with devotional activties. This, was my point, not that these two great men needed the approval of their respective spouses. -- Dileepan
