But there is one another emperuman who enjoys an equal status-quo Sri Azhagiya singar or Sri Narasimhar. Eventhough there are five emperumans in this divyashEtram (Parthasarathy, Azhagiya singar, Sri Varadarajan, Sri Ramar and Sri Ranganathar) Dwajasthambam is installed only for two emperumans, Parthasarathy and Azhagiyasingar. Hence only these two enjoy Brahmotsavam. "Chittirai" (April) month is for Parthasarathy and "Ani" (July) is for Azhagiyasingar. Recently the 10 day Brahmotsavam for the latter concluded in a very grand and fitting manner. Some of the divine moments have been captured in the following folder of our "AstAna Sri vaishnava Photo website" PBase.

Iraamaanusa nooRRanthAthi- 21st verse- Ramanuja's reverence torwards Posted by: "Madhavakkannan V" srivaishnavan@xxxxxxxxx srivaishnavan Tue Jul 25, 2006 6:35 am (PST) SrI: SrImathE Ramanujaya namah: Dearest all, In this verse, Amudhanaar enjoys Ramanuajcharyaâ??s devotion to the grandson of Sriman Nathamuni, namely Yamunacharyar also called as Alavandhaar. Ramanuja held on to the lotus feet of Yamunacharya as the only refuge. Let us enjoy the 21st verse on EmperumAnArâ??s reverence towards his praacharyan Sri Yamunaachaarya. nithiyaip poziyum mukil_enRu neesar_tham vaachalpaRRith thuthikaR Rulakil thuvaLkinRi lEn inith thooyn^eRichEr ethikat kiRaivan yamunaith thuRaivan iNaiyatiyaam kathipeR Rutaiya iraamaa Nnuchanennaik kaaththananE. 21 21. Pristinely pure anushTaanaseelar- (one who strictly adheres to saashthras and anushtanams), the Chief of saints of Srivaishnavas is Sri Yamunacharyar- Sri Alavandhaar. Emperumaanaar- Sri Ramanujacharya, who is blessed to be Lotus Feet of Yamunacharyar, saved me. Hence, I shall never ever praise the lowly human beings who are full of ahamkara, mamakarams (I and mine), saying "you are like the rainy cloud to shower us with wealth", etc... Though he was given half the kingdom, and was addressed as â??Ala vandhaarâ?? [the one who came to rule me]; having ruled the kingdom and enjoyed royal life; still he forsake everything and took sanyaasam. Not just that he was adhering to greatest and strictest yatheeswararâ??s anushtAnam [in spite of the past riyal comforts]; His jnAna bhakti vairAgyam were indescribable. Taking refuge of His lotus feet, EmperumAnAr was devoted to YamunAchArya fully. After being saved by such greatest Ramanujacharya, would I ever go and pray to some lowliest soul hereafter? I never used to that even before. Why at all now? [Even I do not take sanyaasam, I can still adhere to vaidika anushtAnam and learn to have sampradaya jnAnam. Nothing wrong with that. One need not be a sanyaasi] [SrI Satakopan Swami adds:] In the Guru Paramparaa section of his magnum opus, Swami Desikan paid tribute to Alavandaar, his compositions and his line of disciples. {Alavandaar had fifteen well known disciples, who took refuge in him. He also blessed us with the following illustrious works, which inspired Swami Desikan: (1) Aagama Praamanyam (2) Purusha Nirnayam (3-5) Siddhi Tryam containg Atma Siddhi, Iswara Siddhi and Samvit Siddhi (6) Gitaartha Sangraham (7) Stotra ratnam and (8) Cathu: Sloki on Maha Lakshmi to remind us about Her unique role in Prapatti}. The verse begins with the words: Ennuyir tantalitthavarai charanam pukki. Here Swami salutes the line of Acharyas from Ramanuja, Periya Nambi, Alavandaar, Manakkal Nambi, Uyyakkondar, Nada Muni, Nammazhwar, Vishwaksenar, Maha Lakshmi and Sriman Narayanan. He says the Acharyas like Alavandaar protected him by revealing the knowledge that his Atmaa was Seshan to the Lord. In another verse in RTS exclusively devoted to Alavandaar, Swami states that he is the Dasa of Alavandaar and he will not therefore study any Sastras that are not true to his teachings. Neelavandhu Inru Vidhi vahayaal Ninaivu Onriya Naam Meela Vandhu Innum Vinai Udambu Onri Vizhundu Uzhalaathu Aala Vandarena Venru Arul Thantu Vilangiya SIr Aalavandaar adiyom padiyom ini ilvazhakkeh In this long and tortuous Samsara, we have over aeons wandered and finally due to the grace of the Lord have attained discriminating knowledge. To avoid rebirth in this world and attaining another body due to the Karmas, we have taken refuge in Alavandaar and his teachings. We will therefore not have lower births and we have declared our servitude(Dasatvam) to Alavandaar. He has conquered the opponents with ill views and has come as it were to protect to us from the misfortunes associated with the travails of Samsaara. After thus becoming his Dasas, we will not engage in the study of fruitless and imperfect [other] Sastras anymore and be misled EmperumAnAr ThiruvadigaLE SaraNam Regards Namo Narayana dAsan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: Power of the bhattar Posted by: "B.Senthil kumar" b_senthil2002@xxxxxxxxxxx b_senthil2002 Tue Jul 25, 2006 12:35 pm (PST) Dear Renganatha bhakthas, as Smt.Varadarajan Swamin says, its purely correct. The temple rules that is how to perform aradhana,etc. to Lord Sri Renganathar had been framed by Srimath RamanujAchArya. According to that only these rituals are carried out. These sequence wont be changed under any circumstances. One old incident has to be remembered which had taken place at SriRangam some years ago. Onece a Vijayanagara king (Still he and his family members statue is present along the prakAram of Sri Rangam temple near the steps to Santhanu mandapam where Namperumal will enter inside the mandapam called "Karpoora PadiyEtra sEvai") and his family members wanted to have darshan of this karpoora padiyEtra sEvai of namperumal and came to Sri Rangam. But unfortunately, that sEvai was completed and Namperumal entered into the Santhanu Mandapam before the royal families arrived to the temple. They requested to perform "Once More" -"Ochettiki" in telugu- the sEvai. But the bhattars declined that and said " You are after all a King of small region within this globe, but HE is sarvalOka saranyan, sarvaratshkan, amarar athipathi KING OF KINGS, Raja of Rangam, HE wont do or repeat again for you!!!" Then it is said that, those royal families didnt returned to their kingdom and waited there within the temple itself and died. This prescription is written in SriRangam temple still now. So, Namperumal wont abide for the sake of us. Its always better we should obey the rules whatever laid by our poorvAchAryars. Thanks for the bhakthas who have expressed the same view like adiyen. adiyen senthil.b --- In Oppiliappan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Ara Ram <aravaram@...> wrote: > > Dear Friends: > > I am sorry to see that our temples are turning out to be places where the Lord Himself is shackled down by kgs of gold and diamonds and rubies. Yes, it is good to see Him decorated with jewels of all kinds, but it is equally pleasurable to see Him decorated in His various forms too. Even Lord Ranganatha Himself is being decorated as Mohini in Srirangam one day in the year and there is great crowd year after year to see Him in that form. They can't dress the Ananthasayana in Srirangam as Mohini, so they do it on the moorthi which they take out. However, in Tirupathi I have seen the standing Lord Venkateshwara being decorated, and I have seen likewise Lord Krishna in Guruvayur being dressed differently every hour. Once I wished very much to see Lord Ranganatha in the Mohini alankaram, but could not reach Srirangam on time. I regretted that very much, but when I reached Tirupathy later, I saw Him dressed in the same Mohini veesham during dharsan there. Another time He was > dressed as Narasimha and it brought ecstasy to me both times. I am sure many of you have had similar experiences too! So, I don't see any reason why in the Ranganatha temple abroad they should not dress up Lord Ranganatha as Rama or Krishna or Narasimha. It is not the North Indian or South Indian custom, for He belongs to the whole universe. I wish that we change our attitude and make Him accessible in all of His different forms to all of the people who love Him, especially to those who do not know Him that well, but yearn to get close to Him. Lord Krishna allowed this to all Gopikas and Lord Ranganatha Himself accepted one of the Thayars in the form of a muslim princess. Why then in India, in the temples, they are still sidelining and preventing the white devotees from having His dharsan as others do? I am not advocating that we should dilute our values, but our blind belief without proper understanding is what is causing us problems. Lack of acceptable answers has been > leading our children away from our virtuous path. Temples in US have to adjust to the needs of all Hindus and of those others who adore Him in His various forms such as Krishna, and they should become the center where people can learn more freely about Him. I suggest that we set up a place in front of every temple where the devotees can offer the prayers the way they like, of course, in a kind and gentle way. There is such a place in Tirupathy where the devotees can freely light up camphor and offer it to Him, even though it is about 100 meters away from His sanctum. This may be to reduce the crowding and allow free access to all those who desire to light up a lamp or camphor. Many temples in the northern parts of India have such places in front of the sanctum. Why not have such a separate place in front of the Lord where people can freely offer their aarhties?

Re: Power of the bhattar Posted by: "anjoonair" anjoonair@xxxxxxxxx anjoonair Tue Jul 25, 2006 12:36 pm (PST) The best answer I got from this group. Thankyou Mine was only a request on behalf of devotees. What is the point of holding Gita Classes, Ramayana Classses in our temples on Saturdays { Please bear in mind I am talking about Temples constructed overseas} The committe goes to great lengths to advocate Hindu Culture when the fact remains the Bhattar in question does not even acknowledge Sree Rama and Sree Krishna as avathars of Perumal . Children atleast need to see how Lord krishna looked and How Sree Rama looked - Not that we humans are capable of even describing HIM. All mantra upacharanam is in Tamil only . So I trained a few people to sing Annamacharya Krithis. By the grace of God my next venture is to train people to sing Ashatapadis and Srinivasa Gadyam. Hope Perumal will look at me Kindly eventhough the devotees are vey appreciative . A Temple belongs to everyone [ again Overseas } . I would love every Hindu child to know and appreciate the Hindu Dharma and this query was only to show How eventhough our thoughts are Good sometimes people in power abuse it . To make it clear Our Temple Calander for years does not mention "Sree Krishna Jayanthi " Only the day is marked is" Sree Jayanthi " . Hopefully it will be added from next year . Please excuse any lapses anjoo. --- In Oppiliappan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Ara Ram <aravaram@...> wrote: > > Dear Friends: > > I am sorry to see that our temples are turning out to be places where the Lord Himself is shackled down by kgs of gold and diamonds and rubies.

Posted by: "sarojram18" sarojram18@xxxxxxxxx sarojram18 Tue Jul 25, 2006 12:35 pm (PST) avidhya cannot be proved positive by inference. In the argument to show that ajnana is a positive entity the sAdhya, or the thing to be proved is given as 'jnAna should be preceded by a substance which prevents it from appearing and which is removable by jnAna.' The hethu or reason for such an inference is that the jnAna shows what is not seen earlier.The example given is that of light which removes the darkness and shows the objects which were not seen before.Now, Ramanuja says that this inference is faulty.The hethu viz. showing something not previously seen, is sAdhana vikala, absent in the example because the light does not show an object without the rise of knowledge about the object.That is, when a pot , not previously seen due to darkness is made visible by the light, the knowledge of the pot is necessary to cognise it as such. Similarly indriyas are also not capable of showing the objects but only aid the knowledge that does it.For instance the light only helps the eye that helps the knowledge by removing the darkness that prevents perception. The removal of that alone which obscures,does not bring perception but it is only the showing of the object as such. Brahman is jnAnamAthra, pure knowledge and cannot be the abode of avidhya. The ignorance of the shell in the shell-silver illusion does not reside in the shell but only in the perceiver.For the same reason the avidhya cannot conceal Brahman. And it cannot be removed by jnAna because it does not conceal Brahman. Only when the ignorance conceals the subject of knowledge as in the case of shell-silver, it could be sublated by that knowledge. Brahman is not the knower as per advaita and hence it could not be the abode of avidhya which can exist only in the knower.Avidhya cannot cover brahman who is of the nature of knowledge as it can cover only an object that is seen and not the knowledge. Brahman is not the subject of knowledge either because He is not known and if Brahman can be covered by avidhya He ceases to be mere knowledge but becomes a known subject. Since avidhya does not conceals what can be known, as in shell-silver, it cannot be removed by knowledge. Lastly knowledge cannot destroy an existing thing like the positive avidhya.Further avidhya being thus not positive entity its definition need not exclude its previous non-existence. Thus positive avidhya is not proved even by inference.
