Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha:

Please accept adiyen's pranams.
I had the good fortune to read Sri Velukudi Krishnan swami's message on 
theuniqueness of Udayavar. Would it be possible for somebody to elucidate on 
what makes Udayavar's philosophy unique and stand apart? Is his greatness Due 
to the fact that he rescued the Sri Sampradayam from the clutches of 
theBuddhist, Tantrik and Jain philosophies which had taken deep roots at around 
that time all over Bharata Varsha? Also along the same lines can somebody 
explain what makes Jeeyar unique and great? Did he propound a totally 
newphilosophy or system of thought? What is the basis for the difference 
between the Thenkalai and Vadakalai systems of thought other than the known 
external differences in wearing the Thiruman/Srichurnam, emphasis on Sanskrit 
versus Dravida Vedam and recitation of the different Thaniyan's at the timeof 
different invocations? Also is there any known reason as to why the Dravida 
kings did not patronize the Sri Sampradayam and the primary patronizers were 
the Vijayanagara kings who are known to have built most of the temples, 
established many institutions including the periya koil. Even today we find 
that the Sri Sampradayam is relatively miniscule (n South India) in terms of 
numbers.  
                    
Adiyaen Ramanuja DAsan,
Dwarakanath.
