Karunanidhi influenced by Ramanujacharya ?- Amusing!!

Karunanidhi is a classic example for

how the so-called non-believer of god

gets easily attracted to issues around God

than the average believer.



Even while watching Kamal Hasan in 10 roles in his latest film 'Dasavatharam',

Karunanidhi seems to have been instantly attracted (of all the roles) by the role

depicted as Acharaya Ramanuja!

And that he was able to strike a rapport with him is what makes me think

that deeper he gets into Hinduism in search of loop holes to attack,

greater is the reverse attraction - Hinduism grabbing him to its core teachings!!



The incident in Dasavatharam was about

how Ramanuja refused to change his belief in Narayana

when a king threatened him with life sentence

for speaking of Narayana and not Parama shiva.



There are two issues in this -

that Ramanuja was not cowed down by threats

and that Narayana was supreme.




Karunanidhi grasped the first issue

and passed a message in his speech

on the occasion of release of audio CDs along with Jackie chan

that it will be good for the country if people are steadfast like Ramanuja by not changing

their principles and places -

a message apparently aimed at Vasan (Congress) or Ramdoss (PMK)




Whatever be his intention, he has grasped one of the two core points.

that believers will be believers and that they will not change.

They will bind more if you question their beliefs.

Instead of blaming communal forces (in Ram sethu issue)

and anti -Tamils (for New year change)

let him realize that he is playing a losing game

by harping on issues that are connected with people's belief in God.

The king in Ramanuja's case paid a price by a debilitating and painful disease.

Let that also be remembered.




And the second issue about supremacy of Narayana-

already Karunanidhi has accepted that he worships sun in the place of Surya Narayana.

I think it is only a matter of time before he realizes what actually constitutes good -

changing alliances or changing into faith in god:-)
