For example, when someone says "Hinduism is the worst religion as it discriminates based on birth" many of us reply like say "Isn't it there in faith Y?" or "It's based on profession" & such.

#SanathanaDharma
Dear Friends, a few points to share regarding the Varna Ashrama Dharma.
Vested interests take advantage of our lack of awareness of this particular Dharma and project it as discriminatory.

For example, when someone says "Hinduism is the worst religion as it discriminates based on birth" many of us reply like say "Isn't it there in faith Y?" or "It's based on profession" & such.

1. Paramathma & Jivathma Thathvam
2. Karma-based Jananam, life events & Maranam
3. Narakam, Swargam & Moksham
3
Where has it ever been said that only Archakas & Yagnyopaveethadhaaris can get Gnanam & reach Moksham?? All are most welcome!!
4
So, one being a Brahmana or Shudra in this birth doesn't mean anything. The same Jiva could've been a tree / animal in previous birth or may become one in the next!!

Why would He discriminate against His own children?! It's such a stupid interpretation of Varnashrama Dharma. Emperumaan can hardly wait for us to reach Him. He's the beneficiary when we reach Him!!

No leftist / conversion agent will tell you this!

Actually, in general, the term Azhwar is used to refer to even those Adiyaars who permanently reside in Sri Vaikuntam with Emperumaan. They are called Nithyasuris. Chakrathazhwar, Garudazhwar, Thiruvananthazhwan, Senapathi Azhwan and such names are quite common.
1/n
In fact, even for some Acharyas the term Azhwan has been suffixed to Their Thirunamams as a mark of Their strikingly deep Bhakthi. Eg: Sri Koorathazhwan, Sri Milagazhwan.
2/n
That being said, the term Azhwar is primarily used to refer to those specific Bhakthas who were gifted with purest gnanam (mayarvara mathinalam) by Sriman Narayana for the unique cause of revealing the 4000 Divya Prabandhas (also celebrated as Thamizh or Dravida Vedas).
3/n
Thereby, those 12 noble Devotees alone are included in the Azhwar list.
In case of Swami Ramanujacharya, the purpose of His Avathara was not to reveal the 4000 Divya Prabandhas but to enhance the spread of those 4000 Divya Prabandhas and Their glories.
4/n
Hence, Swami Ramanuja is in the Acharya goshti. However, two major points to note are:
1. Swami Ramanuja is none but Swami Nammazhwar's Divine Feet and His Avathara is an extension of Swami Nammazhwar's Avathara.

I understand the disappointment when our sects fight in full public view and the embarrassment thereof.
However, my concern is different, TBH.
Am even okay with all our infighting.
My problem is when we don't set those differences aside & join hands to face a common foe.
1/n
This maturity is not new to us - it has already been explained in the Mahabharatha!!
Yudhishtira tells his brothers to fight the Gandharvas & defend their cousins (Kaurava). This was *after* the game of dice, mark you.
2/n
When Bheema protested, Yudhishtira explains: "Between us & the Kauravas, we are 5, they are a hundred. In front of outsiders, however, we're a 105."
Sanathana Dharma has been there for time immemorial. It's natural that we have sects, unresolved disagreements, etc..
3/n
Abrahamics have sects for just a 2000-year existence. And they too bicker among themselves!!!
So, the real issue, IMHO, is forgetting to gather under our common identity.
4/n
If we try to silence voices or concerns of our internal sects for the sake of common unity, some people of the section that feels unheard may even shake hands with the very foe we're trying to vanquish. This is one of my greatest concerns.

This is the problem with us. After all we fight among ourselves for Thengalai or Vadagalai Thiruman for temple elephants. https://t.co/kLvdZl25Ea
