Cuddalore Vaishnavaite Clash Painful Anachara

Are the learned scholars of both the sects aware that the other Religious Groups are laughing at us for this act?

Please do not quote Catholics, Protestants, Shia and Sunni.

We are Hindus.

Vedas are our Pramana.

We know that there was no Advaita , Visistadvaita or Dwaita in the Vedas.

It is a question of interpretation by the Acharayas who had taken into considerations the social conditions at the point of enunciating their Bhashyas.

It is a question of Perspectives.

All our perspectives need not converge.

Krishna does not advocate this divisions.

No Pitru Paksha for Sri Vaishnavas?

He informed me that , as an Iyengar belonging to Thengalai Sampradya, he does not do it as it is prohibited by Ramanucharya.

He told me that the other sect of Iyengars in Tamil Nadu, Vadagalai Iyengars perform the Pitru Paksha Tharpana.

As I am unable to find any authentic source on this, I am posting my views.

Those who know the subject well may quote with source.

In Hinduism there are two paths in terms of Lifestyle.

One is called Pravritti Marga and another Nivrutti Marga.

Pravrutti Marga is the leading of our daily lives , as normally do, by going after the sense objects.

Nivrutti Marga is renunciation of the sense objects.
