Srimatae Ramanujaya Namaha,
Sri Velukkudi krishnan Swami Guruvae Namaha,
Dear Baktha,
Very True and Baktha’s Effort is Honest. It will not go in vain with BHagvAn’s grace.
***************************
NO one is saying “We should not attempt doing pracharam”. The above threads show, we should do Pracharams based on the AUthetic Spirtiual kanowledge that we gained and do our best with our Ytaha Shakthi (Capacity that each one of us possess).
At the same time, “We cannot keep Attachments to the Results of the Pracharams”, like did they come forward or did they change after listening. That individual have to utilize its Jeeva Swathantriyam (Independently Dependant on Perumal) to start doing things.
This is what is being discussed in the above threads to help out Baktha’s question about how to get rid of Virakthi. It doesn’t mean, Don’t do Pracharam.
******************************
We cannot term Acharyas had Virakthi, since we are looking from our perspective about Acharyas situation. Acharyas had only “PARITHAPAM (Sympathy)” on other Jeevathams when they don’t listen to Shastras and follow. So They Pray to Perumal and ask for Sathvika Changes. PErumal Approves Acharyas request, since they are Guna Poornanarkal (No Deficiency in Knowledge).
There are incidents in Swami Ramanujar life and Swami Vedanta Desikar’s life & Swami DhoddhaAcharyar life and amny otehr Achryas as well, when Veda Kudshristis (Who belive in Vedas but tell wrong meaning) and Veda Bahyargal (who don’t belive in Vedas at all) keep questioning about Vedas/Shastras.
When Bouddharkal (Veda Bahyargal) almost 1000 people questoned about the Vedas in Thondanoor village near Melekote, Swami had to take in Original Adishehan form with 1000 heads, so Swami could answer each one them at same time. But, Swami took 1000 head form by putting a screen inbetween them, so no one could see this original form. After Swami’s explantion, then all the Bouddhargal got changed to Veda Margam which is the Root. Swami took this form, since HE had PARITHAPAM (Sympathy) on them that, without they following Vedas, there is NO moksham for them. This is not Virakthi, This is Parithapam on others.
Same situation happened with Swami Vedanta Desikar while in Srirangam. Many keep questioniong about who is Para Devata?, Sriman ANrayanan or some one else. Then, Swami had to explain based on Swami Ramanujar Veda Marga Teachings. These situations keep happening many times in SriRam=ngam. But Swami Vedanta Desikar used to still explain with patience. The only thing Swami pointed out is, “When Swami himself is involved in BhagvAt ANubhavam, why People repeateldy disturb Him when Shastras clearly says about who is ParaDevata which is Sriman Narayanan. So Swami didnot have Virakthi, but had Parithapam on those JeevAThmas.
Same situation happend with Swami DhoddAcharyar life while in Sholingur about who is ParaDevata Aruguement as per Shastras. Swami explained with patience every time such situation arises based on PoorvAcharyas teaching, and there are grantams written by Swami DhoddaAcharayar on these as well. So there is no Virakthi here, but only Parithapam on others.
********************************************
What Acharyas prescribe to BaddhAThmas like us, is to invlove in Kainkaryam and get of this Birth_Death cylce and abstain from anyhting that hinders BhagavAt/Acharya/BhagvAta Kainkaryams.
Doing these itself is a Pracharam, since we are involved with many people around us either in temple or at office or at public places by following the Sanatana Dharmam Fundamental Principles which Swami ahs said as :
* Thani Manitha Ozukkam,
* Panbhu,
* Panivu,
* Thann Addkkam,
* Nermai,
*….etc…..
So some one looking at what and why we do Kainkaryams, will definitely ask about these, then we can explain.
So, kindly understand the practicality and nothing in Sanatana Dharama is for just Talking Nice. It is for us to Follow each thing to as best as Possible as per Individual capability and let BhagavAN decide the Results.
Acharyas and Mahans like Sri Velukkudi Swami are Perumal Avatarm to Help and Uplift each one of us BhaddhAtmas. So they have ABILITY to fix and Change things, where we dont have such ability.
************************************************
The Prapanna Bhakta’s above thread explanation is based on Swami’s Pravachanams, which is very Crisp and clear.
So, Bakhta to continue either the Active or Passive Pracharam based on Bhaktas Capability (Yatha Shakthi), but don’t keep and Attachment towards the results of the Pracharam, since BhagvAN Sriman NarayanAn will decide how to run this Leela Viboothi and take each of HIS One-and-Only Properties (SOtthu the JeevAThmas) to MOksham.
*********************
Dear Bhakta,
Regarding 32000 Enpani members, the same applies. Those people should show their Gratitude, if their life is changed in a fruitful way by listening to Swami’s audios. BhagvAn Sriman Narayan is inside them and watching each of their actions and will make judgement as Paapam or Punyam.
At the same time, we have to look in practical way as below.
There are 32000 members who has EnPani App, but there some scenarios to consider.
1) There could be 1 per family or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 per family.
All have Smart Phones or I-Phones now.
If one person downloads Swami’s Enapani audio, sometimes other won’t downlaod in their own individual phone, since it occupies phone space, so they listen from their faimly members downloaded clip, though they also resigtered in EnPani App.
2) so, can all the 32000 members buy calender. Only one calender per famliy. If we take an avergae of 4 per famly, then the number of fmaily woul be 8000 approximaltly. So teh number of calenders bought Should be 8000 approx, which matches the 8000 members that downloaded Swami’s calender audio clip. In those why only 800 registered for Calender at Citi Union bank, which couldnot be judged, since that will be individuals discretion based on How much Gratitude they have towards Swami.
Again the 800 registed mmbers were sensus taken on the 1st 5 days after Swami Audio clip release. After Dec9th target date, the final numbers who bought the Calender will be known to evaluate/understand current situation.
3) Also out of 32000 members (or 8000 families, 4 members per family as an average), there are all kinds of Santana Dharmam followers (Sri Vaishavan, Shaivan, etc…as well as some who don’t follow a particular Sampradhayam, but just wanted to have some peaceful atmosphere etc….), those members, may follow a particular calendar as per their family head, and not necessary that they will get additional calendar. So, they just listen to Swami’s clips and buy CD’s, but not involve in buying calendar.
4) Another example, in some family, their parents or in-laws don’t follow Sri Vaishnavism, but their son or daughter in-law follows SriVaishavism. Only they have EnPani App and download Swami’s audios, but they don’t buy calendar, since it cannot be brought to home as it conflicts their Parents or In-laws family STAUCNH calendar method as they want to follow their own Sampradhayam calendar. This is a Dharma Sankatam for such memebrs.
5) A Baktha gets more calendars depending up on who needs it, like for neighbours or for other relation family members. This works good. But some members are hesitant in getting more calendars and giving to other family members or neighbours, as they feel, they will start expecting in return when they have similar occasion. So a SriVaishnavan avoids such scenarios as he follows only one thing and buys only one calendar for himself.
5)……Etc…..Etc….
****************************
THese are some of the scenarios that we can think of, so we cannot compare or make judgment about the 32000 members when we don’t know the actual facts, though to some extent what Bhakta is saying is correct.
All we have to do as a Bhakta is to, do as much as possible from our end and then Pray to BhagavAN, since Swami’s Calendar is for our/their own benefits and the small Sambhavani that comes by getting the Calendar are utilized for Sath-Kaaryams like PaadaShaalas, Maintaining old Temples, Paropakaram (Helping the needed people) etc….
