Sure. It is the duty of every individual to remember our Guru. In this aspect I find that Vaishnavites are conscious of their Acharya (by and large). But unfortunately many of our so called Iyers only send the marriage invitation or mention the name of Kanchi Madam but fail to follow the advices/principles of our guru. My statement is not specified to any individual.
ReplyDeleteI am happy that recalled the memories of Shri Shri Jayendra Saraswathi Swamigal of Kanchi (our Jagadguru) on his Jayanthi.
Here remember one incident, when a foreigner happened to meet Paramacharya (Mahaswamigal) and expressed that although He was the Guru only to small sect, how is it that everyone claims Paramacharya to be Jagadguru. Paramacharya replied that Jagadguru means the entire world (Jagadh) is His Guru. Apparently this has come from Shrimad Bhagavatham Canto XI - BIkshu Gita.
