Representatives of Andal & Ramanujacarya!
When we took our Safari to South India we went to the Sri Rangam temple and
there we chanted Hare Krsna for the acarya of the Sri Rangam temple, one of
the 64 temples of Ramanuja and that’s maybe the most important that he has.
Then he said you are all incarnations of Andal, an incarnation of Laksmi who
chanted the holy name and said everyone should go with karatals and drums in
the street and chant the name of Krsna. He said you are all incarnations or
representatives of Andal, you are doing.
And just recently when we had the Tirupati temple opening, the head acarya
was going to come for one day just bless it. But he stayed for all the seven
days. When he saw some of the gurukuli devotees leading kirtan, and
everybody chanting and dancing and all wearing tilaka, then he made a
declaration that, “You are doing what we should be doing. This is what
Ramanujacarya did, he made people devotees. We have become expert in all the
rituals but we are not making new devotees. But you are making the new
devotees.”
Then Radhanath Swami told me that he did a programme in Sri Rangam and the
acarya had publicly over television said, “I want to be a member of ISKCON.
[Devotees: Haribol!] They are doing what Ramanujacarya told us to do.”
