SrI: SrImathE Ramanujaya nama: Dearest all Today Aippasi moolam is the Thirunakshathram of Swami Manavala maamuni. Swami was born a year after Swami Desikan's attainment of Acharyan ThiruvaDi. Let us pay our obeisance to Swami Manavala mamuni on the auspicious day today. >From Sri Velukkudi Krishnan swami's upanyasam SrisailEsa dayApAtram dhIbhatyAdi gunArnavam yatIndra pravanam vande ramyajAmAtaram munim. It is known to one and all that the above srisukti was submitted to the feet of Swami MM by none other than Lord Ranganatha. Namperumal wanted to hear tiruvoimozhi kalakshepam from Swamy MM. He conducted kalakshepam of tiruvoimozhi starting on the paritapi year 31st day of avani sukla caturdasi friday. It continued for 1 year and the sattumurai was on aani moolam. For this one year all the utsavams of namperumal were stopped. During the sattumurai, namperumal appeared as a 5 year old archaka boy and recited this sloka in praise of his acharyan i.e. MM. Why did he choose MM as his acharyan. Here is an interesting logic. During Ramavatara Viswamitra was Rama's guru who teached mantras. But was he the right guru for such a great being like Rama ? No. He himself was a person who fell prey to kama and krodha. We know that he became the father of Sakuntala and in another instance he even forgot his nitya anushthana. So Rama was not fortunate enough to get a right guru who would be apt for his prabhavam. Rama waited till the next avatara. Saandipana was Krishna's guru. When the vidyabhyasa was over , Krishna wanted to give guru dakshina anything that his guru wanted. Initially, saandipana refused to accept anything. When Krishna insisted, he consulted his wife and kept a request to Krishna. To search and bring back his lost son. (odu vaimayum uvaniyarpirappum unakku mun tanda anthanan oruvan - kaadal en magan pugalidam kanen - kandu nee taruvai - kodil vaymayinan). Krishna even though fulfilled the wish of his guru, was sad. Why ? Would it not be fitting for a guru to request Krishna for moksham and kainkarya. Leaving that he requested for a wordly pleasure - son. So, krishna had to again wait till his next avatara. Lord Ranganatha is the representative of Rama and Krishna. Thondaradippodi alwar in his tirumalai first says " silayinal ilangai setra devane devanavan" then adds " kattrinam meytha endai kazhalinai panimineere".When we said to alwar that both are not possible because Rama and Krishna belong to a different yuga and we are in Kali yuga , alwar gives the solution " kaattinan tiruvarangam uypavarkku uyyum vannam". So Ranganatha is undoubtedly the representative of Rama and Krishna. Ranganatha decided not to miss the bus atleast in this avatara - i.e. to have a guru commensurate with his own mahima. Thus, he selected MM as his guru. This is evident from the taniyaan that Ranganatha has submitted to the lotus feet of Swami MM. Srimannarayana is the prathamacharya in our sampradaya. MM is the acharya for the prathamacharya. Everyone prostrates before the Lord and say Namaha or vande. The Lord himself is uttering "vande" towards MM here. Such is the greatness of MM in our sampradaya. Both the acharya and sishya stand out for their beauty (handsome). Sisya is azhagiya manavalan. Acharya is azhagiya manavala muni. Srisailesa dayapatram is praised as the mantra, stotram and pranamam recited of Ranganatha.
