Anupam-ji - if you have the confidence in your heart, I am sure you will hear from him very soon... when a bhakta calls him, he does not delay! after all He is sitting in your own heart and already knows what you want.anupam1968 wrote: That was why I said only Mahavishnu can tell what is right but it seems even that is not possible as per your post because 'He' talks to selected few according to 'His' choice. And I am sorry to say I cant accept it. For me He can talk or communicate with anybody, if he is honest to the core, in his quest of knowing the truth. And I can declare it with all the confidence in my heart.
This is all I want to say finally since we all know these kinds of discussions can never end.
Here is a small story from the life of Swami Ramanuja:
When swami was busy in the thirumadappalli (temple kitchen) in Srirangam temple, he heard a man going on shouting outside. He came out and asked what his problem was. The man said, "I have been doing service to the Lord all these years, the food for my family comes from the thirumadappalli only...now my family size has grown and therefore the quantity of food I receive is insufficient. I want more." Swami asked him, "Who do you have confidence in?" The man said, "my Acharyan." Swami said, "Ok go back, everything will be allright." So saying he forgot about the incident and did not do any follow-up action.
After a few months, Swami was going around the town when he accidentally met the man again. He enquired how he was. The man fell at swami's feet and thanked him for sending more food from thirumadappali every day. He said, a man comes from the temple everyday and we receive sufficient food for everybody in the family. Swami realized it was Thiruvarangan himself delivering food every day for he had not appointed anyone to go and do the delivery!
In the same Srirangam during my last visit this happened! My train from Chennai reached Srirangam at about 10 PM. I was thinking that at least this time I should visit my favorite acharya "Manavala Maamunigal" sannidhi before going to see Thiruvaranganathan. I was reminded of Swami Ramanuja who did not go into the temple when he arrived from Kanchipuram for the first time - when he came to become Yamunacharya's sishya, for that very day Yamunacharya attained His acharyan thiruvadi. Swami had decided that without getting his acharyan's blessings he would not go into the temple.
At about 10:30 PM I went to Maamunigal sannidhi and found it closed. The archakar swami was standing outside the gate (he lives in the same building as the sannidhi). I enquired with him what time they opened the sannidhi in the morning. He said about 9 or 9:30 AM. My family wanted to go the temple for vishwaroopa darshanam in the morning at 6 AM. I was wondering how to make this happen. So I told what was in my mind to the archakar swami. He told me to come back at 11 PM. I did, and he opened the sannidhi for the sake of an acharya purusha who was receiving his "mariyadai" that day...and long with him he let me also into the sannidhi.
If you are honest in your wish, and have confidence, everything will happen for good!
