SRIMATHERAMANUJAYANAMHA
APPANTHIRUVADIGALESARANAM , DEAR
bAGHAVATHAS, Two doubts have ben raised in the posting of
Sumitra Varadarajan dated 3rd may 2002. I am giving the
informations as I have gathered. The Acharya parambarai of
Srivaishnavism for all practical purposes commences from Sriman
Natha Munigal. He was enticed by the renderings of few Pasurangals
of Thiruvaimozhi and went in search of all. On meditating Sri
Namalwar, he acquired the entire pasurangals and thus Nammalvar
becomes the first of the Guruparamparai. Sri Alavandar in his
"Stotrararatna" givesthisinformation."Adhya na kulapathe
Vahulabhiramam' "Vahulabharanan ie., Nammalvar is the First of
our Kulam and Treasure.Periya piratti etc., are Sampradhyic
statements. Sri Manavala Mamunigal is the last of the great
parambarai as no such person befitting the position of Acharya
succeeded him. Ofcourse, learned persons falling in the line of 74
Simhasanathipathis are
doingSamasrayanamforustobecomeSrivaishnavas..
2. The entire essence of Vdantham (Vedas) are contained in the
"Rahasya Tryam" and our Poorvacharys establish this fact in their
commentaries to Baghavat Vishyam and other Alwar Pasurangals. It
is true there are great persons who have rendered yeoman service
to Srivaishnavism ; but, they do not fall in direct line of
Acharya Parambarai. Informations of these persons can be had in
the 'PERIYA THIRMUDIADAIVU' appended to the Araayirappadi
Guruparampara Prabhavam. Also, Sri Puttur Sri Vaishnava Sudarsana
swamy has published a book ACHARYA VAIBHAVA MANJERI (2 Vols.)
containing informations on this point to the extent possible. Both
thes books can be had from him. Adiyen Parthasarathy Dasan.
