Mani,
I'm sure you are aware that both Sri Ramanujacharya's guru and his desciple
choose to have their EYES PLUCKED than to accept Siva as the Supreme (as opposed
to Vishnu). That Ramakrishna was a Kali worshiper is a well known fact, infact
I learned from this very forum that he used to live in a Kali temple.
Now that you have put Ramanujacharya and Ramakrishna in the same category
(of bhagavans), it is to be understood by induction that you certainly are
not a Sri Vaisnava as you generally claim.
