3. BHAGAVAD RAMANUJA
Sampath Rengarajan
As per the Acharya vaibavam (Ahobila mutt publication), Sri Ramanujar
was thinking of Periya Nambi's thiruvadis at the time of his departure
to Srivaikundam. As per the same book, Sri Ramanuja said 5 important things
to follow for His disciples. His disciples asked him what should we be
doing henceforth ? (meaning after him). Ramanuja replied to his followers
at the end, It is said since athma yAthrai is bagawathdeenaam, he has no
anvyam in it. If such anvyam is there then it will falsify the athma para
samarpanam. dEhayAthrai is karmAtheenam. one should not suffer due to that.
If one worries on that then he becomes nAsthikan. But one cannot do whatever
the mind will dictate to do. With an anbe mind on the other hand one must
do the following.
-
Read Sri bashyam thoroughly and one has to "pravarthi" it. If one is not
qualified (includes both ability to do it and as well the capacity and
due initiation to do it) to do so,
-
listen to aruLich cheyal and one has to "pravarthi" it. If one does not
qualify for this , then
-
do amuthup padi, saathp padi, thiruvilakku, thirumAlai undAkkuthal or make
such available to those divya dEsams. ( This is my re-inspiration that
I can see the importance for the sponsor a divya desam project). If is
not qualified for doing this,
-
do anusanthAnam on the meaning of dvayam. If one is not qualified to do
this,
-
Serve a Srivaishnava who is in our lineage ( meaning a Srivaishnava doing
any of the above four) and by trying to make an abimanam in his mind.
Then piLLAn, kidambi acchchAn, muthaliyAndAn were given consent to install
his thriuvuruva vigraham in temples. Those are in Srirangam, Sri perumputhoor,
thirunArayanapuram. Then he called thiruk kurugai pirAn and said,
"inthasidhdhAntham pravasanam seythukondu varak kadavathu". Then he
took SripAdukAtheerththam of Sri aLavandhAr and gave it to his shishyALs
as well. Then he asked them to do the Koil (srirangam) kaimkaryams to do
without any shortfalls. then he called piLLAn and kidambi achcchAn and
instructed them some mantrArthams. Then he kept his head on piLLAn's madi
or lap and his feet on kidAmbi achchAn and was sayanthithiruthAr. ie was
sleeping or taking a nap.
Then, nadAthoor azhwaan, embaar, muthaliyAndaan chanted upanishath and
the pAsuram "soozhvisumpaNImukil". Then that time he did dyAnam on peria
nambi's thiruvadi and went to thirunAdu.
