Dear Sri Mani,

This list is the forerunner and is the beginning of all of us to get 
together; to know each other; to organise NAMA events all over the world; to 
get to know more about Ramanuja sampradayam; to revie our younger days when 
we had learnt the sthOthramms whose meanings we get to know and how deep 
they are when we read Sri SatakOpan mama's translations;- the list and 
benefits the list has given us are endless.

It has introduced us the unparalleled Sri vaishnava to many of us, about 
which many of us have lost track and forgotten due to running amuck after 
material pursuits. The list taught me what is Pancha samskaram (thanks to 
Sri Anand Karalapakkam's brilliant write up); the doctrine of Prapatti; the 
intense desire to undergo prapatti in the immediate future.

Also the list gave us the dynamic, young Simhapuri Sri MS Hari in Singapore 
(it was you who wrote to me about his presence in Singapore) and he has 
transformed many Srivaishnavas at Singapore and he continues indefatigably.

We have got to know Sri Anbil Mama and his excellent posts thorugh this list 
first. There is now ay you can end it. It is like a good Primary school and 
there are many Secondary schools, Colleges, Universities now. That does not 
mean the primary school needs to be closed. There are students who joined 
the list and are now in Universities. The lecturers who started off in 
Primary school find it too preliminary and hence have shifted to Colleges. 
There are and will be always new children to learn and learn. We will exist 
for them and they will also get promoted to Universities.

Your Ramanuja Primary school should go on. Encourage Bhahawathas of the list 
to ask questions; Ask them to send their mite. We can send the respective 
kalai's view points without hurting the other so that people get to know the 
subtle differences and the great commonalities too.

My two (nay), one cent worth.
Regards
Namo Narayana
aDiyEn
