Srimad Ramanuja TV Serial scripted by DMK's M.Karunanidhi

Namaste,

It seems this program has been aired in TN and a facebook post I read this morning said it has the following flaws already, within few shows aired:

1. A Srivaishnava young man with 'naamam' (forehead mark) and 'kudumi' (tuft of hair on the head tied in Vaishnava style) shown chasing a young woman, later to be beaten by an old lady.

2. Srimad Ramanuja's mother shown as if she is refusing to give water to the saint Thirukachi Nambi who is born of 4th varna (Shudra).

3. Srimad Ramanuja complaining to his mother that his 'poonool' (sacred thread) is hindering his ability to interact and play with other kids in the street.

Shri.AMR has raised objection to the above flaws and has written about his sad feelings on this issue, of the great saint's story being penned down by a hypocritical person, who has no value for religion all through his life.

Thanks,

Viraja

Namaste Viraja ji
Does it surprise you? Let's face it.
If we go out to find statewise statistical data of anti Hindu sentiments among Hindus, TN would find its place in the TOP 3 if not in first place.

So DMK Chief's actions doesn't surprise me. Infact I saw/read news about (the producer of the serial) Kutti Padmini praising DMK Chief for his knowledge on Hinduism.

Present CM JJ is an Sri Vaishnava Aiyangar Brahmin, so to win the upcoming state elections Karunanidhi will stoop to any level. As long as it is cool to insult Hinduism in TN (especially in movies/tv/magazine) nothing can be done about it.

I have both read and heard that Srimad Ramanuja initiated some non-Brahmins into the SriVaishnava order by giving them pancha-samskara. Now the way Karunanidhi is penning it, it appears Ramanujar did it out of rebellion against Brahminism, which is not at all that way! It is out of his love for the downtrodden that he did it. I wonder what other blasphemy awaits in further episodes!

Off the topic:

Sri Vaishnavism states that Pancha Samaskaran can be even to animals. I got this information from Parakala Mutt.
