Sri:

Son: Appa, how many chocolates in my hand?
Appa: 5?
Son: You know nothing. A handful of chocolates!

Old day StiVaishNavite Appa:
How brilliant my son is?

Today’s SriVaishaNavite Appa:
Adhiga Prasangi. Do you think you are ParAshara Bhattar?

Jokes apart. Those days, big pundits valued knowledge even from a child.

Are we that open minded today?

From vikraminside

Srimathe Rangaramanuja Mahadesikaya Namaha

Okay Swamy. Adiyen’s reply was more on society.

To me, it appears , in olden days we valued knowledge more.

Today we value money more.

Today if we try to attempt to speak like Swamy ParAshara Bhattar,we will be called “Adhiga Prasangi”.

Flawed thoughts etc etc. There will be mamas and mamis to counter at immediate effect.

For eg:
Adiyen said “Andru iv ulagam aLandhAi adi potri”

So technically, entire world becomes “Divya Desam” Adiyen said.

Correct nu Thonithu sonnen.

Prakrutham Andavan Swamy says “PeriyavA told like that we should follow”.

Of course by mind Andavan would have appreciated adiyen.

My point is, are we encouraging new thoughts?

Right or wrong why not be open minded?

We don’t value any new thoughts even towards Perumal.

If SriVaishNavites comes in Car to Ashram they are valued more.

If a person got money, he is right! mentality.

Why are we like this?

Those days knowledge had more power

Today only money has more power.

Why?

“… Those days knowledge has more power…”

Sir,

I would like to add with little precise,
called,

“தர்மம்”

I heard an incident about a dog, which came to Jai Shri Ram for it’s justice..

This shows there is no importance/special counters for “only” richest, “only” pandits, “only” warriors… Not even “only” humans..!!!

But,

“தர்மம்” மட்டுமே

.

.
now in this கலியுகம்.,

தர்ம பசு ஒற்றை காலில் “நிற்கிறது“ என்றும்,

தொட்டால் விழுந்துவிடும் என்றும் பெரியவர்கள் கூறினார்கள்..!

அதனால் இப்படிப்பட்ட மாற்றங்கள் ஆரம்பித்துள்ளதோ?!?

– என்று கருதுகிறேன்..!

In modern era,

Money is the only thing to live, basically. (Not essential)
&
நல்லவன் கெட்டவன் என்ற term உள்ளது.

விதுரர் ஏழை,
பகவான் ஸ்ரீ கிருஷ்ணர் விதுரர் வீட்டில் தங்கியிருந்து உண்டு சென்றார்.

My small doubt after seeing, your thread about krishna janmashtami.,
is –
ஏழையாக இருந்தாலும், குடிசையில் வாழ்ந்தாலும், நல்லவர் என்றால் பகவான் ஸ்ரீ கிருஷ்ணர் “வீடு தேடி வருவார்”

அதேசமயம்,
நல்லவன், வல்லவனாகவும் இருந்தால்,.
பகவான், உடனிருந்து வழி நடத்திச் செல்கிறார்.
Ie. Pandavas.
அர்ஜுனன்.

(this is my doubt, if swamiji has time and விருப்பம் இருந்தால் Kindly clear this doubt)

இப்படி எதாவது காரணம் இருக்குமோ என்னவோ..!!!

So, money mentality சபை ஏறுகிறதோ..??!? என்னவோ..!!!

Adiyen beg to differ:

அதேசமயம்,
நல்லவன், வல்லவனாகவும் இருந்தால்,.
பகவான், உடனிருந்து வழி நடத்திச் செல்கிறார்.
Ie. Pandavas.
அர்ஜுனன்.

In Swarga Arohana parva or after .Mahabharata war, when Krishna left Arjuna lost all his strength.

His arrows did not speak as it used to.

So Krishna choses to help as he wishes. Not always.

For us, uttara khandam/ mahabharam is not being told by upanyAsakAs.

May be only to motivate us upanyAsakAs choose a particular portion and say “God is great!”
