Do we Know? 2. Swami Emberumanar graces us with a Anjali Mudra (Looks like doing Namaskaram), in many temples. In some temples Swami has Upadesa mudra? Where does Swami have Upadesa Mudra and why? (who is he giving Upadesa to?) Why is this so? Do we Know? 3. In Thirumalai, The Hundi is in front of Emberumanar (Not in front of Srinivasa Perumal). Why is this so? Do we Know? 4. Did Ramanuja become the teacher to the LORD himself? 5. Which Dhivya Desams show us that Lord learns from Sri Ramanuja? (Does the Lord need to learn from Swami Ramanuja? Does he not know evreything?) 6. At one Dhivya Desam, The Lord feels he did not give a Acharya Sambhavanai to Swami Ramanuja. What is background behind this? 7.
