Being loyal to HIS LORDSHIPS at all times is a srivaishnava’s unique specialty .
He cannot permit violation of that virtue by encouraging any thoughts of submission to devatas / demigods .

An incident happened few hundred years back at  srivaishnava capital  Sri Rangam . Lord Namperumal was being  carried  in a  grand procession .
 JagathAcharyar Swamy Ramanuja and his disciples  along with  elders  and  the paraphernalia were leading the procession .
The sky suddenly turned dark which indicated  some showers and as  predicted  it started raining .

The Lordships entered the premises of another temple dedicated to Sri Jambukeshwara another divinity .

Swamy Ramanuja and his disciples who had accompanied the procession , stopped away outside the premises in the rain unmindful of being drenched .

One disciple humbly asked  Swamy Ramanuja ..

 .. Holy Sire
When our LORD himself has entered the temple premises why should we wait in this pouring rain ?
Â
instead of following our LORD ?

Swamy Ramanuja replied !
My child ………………………….
Remember LORD is our Emperor and we are his queens .
If Emperor wishes to meet his chosen,   does it mean HIS chaste queen also imitate her LORD by resorting to others .
We are chaste queens of the LORD and must never interfere in LORDS order .
..and instead wait for HIS order ….
.in serving HIM and HIM ……… only…
