Dear Nappinnai,

adiyEn is glad to see that you are going to post a 
series of articles on the outstanding work of
Alavandhar, Stotra Ratnam. adiyen looks forward to
the series. And the timing is perfect, since the
day after tomorrow (Aug 10 - Adi Uttharadam) is
Alavandhar's thirunakshatram.

You had talked about Ramanuja mentioning his 
gratitude to Alavandhar. Here are a couple of quotes
from Swami Ramanuja that emphasize that:

"Am I not Ekalavya to Alavandhar?"

"If I could have been with Alavandar, I would have
built a staircase to Paramapadam".

Also Ramanuja offers his praise to Alavandhar in
the mangaLa shlokas of Vedartha Sangraham and 
Sri Vaikunta Gadyam.
