Sri:
We see Paramahamsa Yogananda, Ramana Maharshi, Maha Periyava, Periyava’s brotherb(SIR Swamy), Maha Avatar Babaji.
I don’t have qualifications to measure how much realised they are but when they have their own notions of realisation why insist on Sri VaishNavam?
We anyway don’t have tangible accounts of after life souls. Once departed, our connection to them is more or less fragile.
They also can be born in different family or attain Moksham.
So, main point is to try to realise during life isn’t it?
When they can feel the ecstacy of God or Godliness during life why we in SriVaishNavam don’t approve such methods of exploration?
Ramanujar showed Urangavillidasar the real eyes if SriRanganathan so they became SriVaishNavites from their on.
Same applies for any custom follower right?
If someone say, “I experienced something in their customs” who are we to deny & say SriVaishNavam the only correct way?
We know one Azhwar got attached to lord Siva Lingam and was later realised by a PAsuram.
Of course every religion will say their God is better.
In above case Azhwar realised the earlier line of worship may not be fruitful.
Again, it was Azhwar’s own realisation and nothing was forced.
So question boils down to:
Why not allow exploration and select the parth so that let the divine select us when the time comes?
