Earlier
“nyAnam bhakthi vairAgyam” was prescribed

Nowadays “DhyAnam & Yogam” is being prescribed

Adiyen see a lot of change in prescription from earlier days of upanyasams.

Mundhi ellam avlo yogatha pathi peche kAnOm. Ippo neraya varudhu.

Who will teach yOgam?
Jaggi Vasudev, Pandit Sri Ravi Shankar , Baba Ram Dev, Nithyananda?

Adhayum prescribe pannidungo.

Or let kinchit release book on yOgam we will follow.

In one Kinchit calendar cd one mama was teaching yOgam. Highly appreciated but what’s the pramANam in Sri vaishnava Guru Paramparai?

Adiyen heard it’s over after Sriman Natha Munigal. In fact that Swamy taught to someone it seems and latter Swamy did not spread it seems.

Whatever it is , it is not there. Why are we always prescribing yOgam then when Azhwars didn’t insist.

I will get answer:
“Need not do yOgam as part of Moksha sAdhanam”

Then why do any sAdhana for that matter? Time pass?

Summa asanam and dhyAnam what’s the use? BP reduce pannavA?

Why Azhwars did not prescribe yogam?

My father used to say “PerumALa dhyAnam Pannu”.

Not sure if this dhyAnam is yogic or non yogic?

Is this dhyAnam part of that 8 angam?

Also when my Amma had breathing issues known via oximeter, Adiyen asked her to do pranAyAmam, the meter was giving better results immediately.

So thought why pranAyAmam restricted only to males in SandhyAvandhanam or other rituals?

Of course, this Sri Vaishnavam is male centric.

If women can cook for perumal which is directly going inside perumal at home why women not allowed in madapalli of temples except for theetu kaalam?

For males we have long mantra in tarpanam. For females we just say shorter single line mantra “pithAmahi tarpayAmi” thrice even after death.

(This is what adiyen feel)

Please refer script if you don’t believe me.

Also Vasu Pathni swarupa: not matching when mother is alive. It is wrong to say grandmother as father’s wife.

Manasu oppala.

I.e. Father’s mother cannot be assumed as father’s wife.

I think I should change my Sankalpam. I stopped saying “Pathni swaroopa:” and started directly addressing as “PathAmahi” only.

My paatti cannot be father’s wife that’s ridiculous.

Adiyen will ask some learned about tarpanam or to my Acharya himself today. Let’s see.

Srimathe Rangaramanuja Mahadesikaya Namaha
Srimathe Sri Varaha Mahadesikaya Namaha
Sri Velukkudi Krishnan Swamy Thiruvadigaley Sharanam
Sri:

Today adiyen discussed about yOgam with Sri Vaishnavites, in Andavan birthday celebrations, one mama shared:

“Swamy NAtha Muni’s yOga Rahasyam book is available by his VamsA Vali one Mr. KrishnamAchAri Swamy who wrote the book and goes to trance state etc”

Another mama said
“Yoga is not prescribed we follow only Nithya KarmAnushtAnams, Gayathri japam and other rituals dedicatedly. ”

Swamy also said
“Siva vAkiyar who wrote Natta Kallai deivam endru naalu Pushpam saatriye, is actually Sri Thirumazhisai Azhwar”

Swamy added:
“Thirumazhisai Azhwar & NammAzhwAr were Yogis”

“Thirumazhisai piraan is still alive” it seems.

Many more were discussed but adiyen stop here considering relevance

Adiyen leave discretion to readers.

Shravanan of Swami’s Upanyasams Swamy,

There is a difference between theory & practice.
Adiyen shared what is being followed.

Krishna asked other’s wives to go back to their husbands – Krishna Premi Swamy

Krishna respects sAmAnya Dharma.

Meera Bai, MAtru Sri Tari Kpnda VengamAmbA were exceptions.

Attraction to Perumal is natural & Athma based. No gender bias.

Did adiyen say “Moksham is for males only”?
Please understand the statements.

Women are supposed to be in service to their husbands. This is indeed Sri Vaishnavam.

Don’t you see Sri Mahalakshmi massaging Sri Vishnu’s Thiruvadi?

I did not say male centric is wrong or right. It’s just a perspective.

All Azhwars took NAyikA bhAvam
While
Andaal was Swayam NAyikA

So easily becomes slave to Perumal

Now tell me what does slavery got to do with gender?

That’s because self submission is easier for women than men.

Dasanudasan

Adiyen brought this Yoga topic because yoga is commercialized nowadays

Many of our SriVaishnavites going to other branches.

If asked says ” Yoga Meditation” blah blah

Try to find the real truth if not available then leave it.

Avar thirunAmam “NAtha Muni”
Paatu padinAlEy Brahmam MayanguvAr endru artham

Just by singing you can attain God

If in doubt
Check “ThiyAga Brahmam”

Don’t fall into traps.
