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Please do not quote Catholics, Protestants, Shia and Sunni.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

The Thiruman,Namam Vaishnava Mark

Srivaishnavaites wear Thiruman, Namam , the Urdhva Pundaram , is worn as a mark indicating the fact that they worship Lord Vishnu.

There are two styles of wearing the Thruman.

One is called the Vadakalai and the other one is Thenkalai.

The Vadakalai Thiruman has a curve at the bottom, ( the habit of calling this symbol as 'U' shape must stop as it is irreverent), while the Thenkalai mark is closed at the bottom and there is the extension at the bottom.

Generally, the Thiruman is applied on the forehead and it is auspicious to wear the Thiruman in Twelve places in the Body.

There are twelve Adityas and Vishnu is one of the Adityas.
