Dear Bhaktas,
I would like a clarification on the 'Saradu pandigai'.
I was told by some relatives that Sri Vaishnavas do not
call this day a 'nOnbu', since Sri Vaishnavas do not
perform any 'nOnbu' to propitiate the Lord for lesser
desires.
Do you agree? Even Andal's pAvai nOnbu is merely a
pretext and not really a vratam; so is it true that
paramaikAntis do not observe vratams for any fruit,
other than as bhagavat-kainkaryam?
I thank members in advance for their responses.
