Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:
As Sri T.A. Varadhan pointed out, the sannidhi was
established for his acharyan Swami Ramanujar by
his close disciple Anandazhvan. This is recorded in
many places.
It is not only in Thirumalai, that Ramanuja has the
acharya mudra, as opposed to the anjali mudra. In all
places where this occurs, there is clear local
history to explain why this is the case. The reason
for Thirumalai has been explained by Sri Vedaraman
Sriraman.
Since a reference to Manavala Mamunikal was made in
this thread, please note that Mamunikal has the
acharya mudra in Srirangam.
Also note carefully the left hand of Ramanuja at
Thirumalai. He does not hold suvadis in his left
hand with fingers pointing forward, which is the
mark of Desikar. This fact was supposed to have
been pointed out by the Periya Jeeyar at
Thirumalai, Saadhu Ramanujachariar, when the same
question was raised in his time. He is said to
have remarked, whether the people who are
questioning have lost their eye sight.
