Srimatae Ramanujaya Namaha,

Namaskaram Bhagavathas,

Adiyen have not come across in Upanyasam yet about past time restrictions to enter Temples. But Adiyen’s understanding from Upanysam is that the 4Varnas are applicable only for this Sthoola Shareeram to do Nithya Karmas, but becoming a Bhaktha has no restriction, since we all are Athmans sub-servient to BhagavAn.

=======

Adiyen has also heard in another upanyasam about conversation between ThirupaanAlwar & SriRanganatha Perumal in Kaveri karai (maanasika uraiyaadal).

Perumal Alwar’ai paarthu, “Yenna Alwaraey, Koilukkul Vanthu Kainkaryam seikireera” yendru.

Alwar says, “Naan Koyilukkul vandhu kainkaryam seyya vaendum yendru Devareer mudhalilaey Ninaithu irundhaal, endha adiyenukku mudhal varnathilaey ulla shareeramum/kulam kidaikum padi yenadhu piraviyai mudivu seythu irupeergal allava?. Appadi illamal endha Adiyennuku Devareer allavo intha varnathil piravi’yai kudutheergal. Irukum idathilayaey Devarrer adiyenukku Sevai kudukkum podhu, naan yean kavalai kolla vaendum mattra varnai’thai pattri”.

Perumal smiles and gets immersed in ThirupaanAlwar’s Bhakthi Bhaavam.

=======

BhagaVan will applaud only if we shower our Bhakthi to the capacity of what we possess (Yatha Shakthi).

If one person is capable of exibhiting Nithya karmas/Bhakthi as per shastras to 80%, but he shows only 60%, then BhagaVan is disappointed, since BhagavAn provides all the neccessary environment, still we don’t exhibit. But, if another person whose capacity is only 20% and exibhits the full 20%, then this person becomes more closer to BhagavAn’s heart. At the same time, if the person exhibiting Bhakthi to his capacity of 20%, looks at the 60% capacity person (though his limit is 80%), then he may feel inferior, but in actual BhagaVan never differentiates, since HE clearly knew what each person is capable of. BhagavAn never expects more than what each person possess. So, how to know our limit (Yatha Shakthi) is to keep doing our Nithya karmas constantly based on our varnas with BhagavAn’s grace and Acharyar Krupai. Nithya Karmas are only to facilitate the Bhakthi. We ourselves will get immersed at some point in Anubhavam.

=======

Another example is “Kurumbu Arutha Nambi” who makes and sells clay pots under the Thirumalai hill bottom. Nambi has never gone to the top of hill to have BhagavAn’s dharshanam, same situation as ThirupaanAlwar. When Nambi’s wife bring him kanji (Rice water) for lunch, then Nambi quickly makes a small Perumal idol with clay & then makes flower made of clay, then offers flower and kanji to BhagavAn and then drinks the kanji. This is the Nithya karma that Nambi was doing based on his Yatha Shakthi. BhagavAn was melted by Nambi’s Bhakthi. He got Moksham.

=======

If we are interested in chanting or learning pasurams, that can be done in the present varna itself. But, only 1^st three varnas are allowed to do Upanaynam and learn/chant Vedas as BhagavAn has decided the Yatha Shakthi for each of those varnas as well as the Yatha Shakthi for each person within the same varna varies at the time of their birth. BhagavAn only expects each person to exhibit the Bhakthi based on what they possess with true Premam/Panivu based on their Yatha Shakthi and we shouldn’t compare ourselves with others. The bottom line concept is, if BhagavAn is Happy, then we are happy.

Acharyas and 1^st varna Pandithargal are highly qualified with BhagavAt Gyanam plus Sneham to all the 4 varnas. Their Yatha Shakthi is very higher %, which they utilize to share/help other samsaris like us to get BhagavAt Anugraham and finally we attain Moksham.

So, we don’t need to confuse ourselves or think about doing other varnas work, when the 4 varnas are not a criteria for BhagavAt Anubhavam/Bhakthi & finally attain Moksham, as the 4 varnas is applicable only for this shareeram to do Nithya karmas and not applicable to ourselves “The Athman” who is sub-servient to BhagaVan all the time).
