Srimathe Ranga Ramanuja Maha Desikaya nama:

  

 

Tanian is a Tamil word. It means ?eulogistic devotional verse? (praising the 
Glory of an individual Acharya). An Acharya dispels the darkness of the mind 
and enlightens us with knowledge. It represents our involvement, our sincerity, 
our duty, and our respect towards our Acharya.  . Acharyas are many and Tanians 
are also many. Depending upon the Acharya Parampara, tanians will also differ. 
There may be two tanians for the same Acharya depending upon their vaibhavam. A 
tanian may be small or big, but have the same respect. The greatness of the 
Tanian can really be understood only by those, who have ?Acharya sambandham?. 
It is essential one should learn and recite the Tanian of his Acharya everyday 
and be blessed.

 

There are Tanians for Vedhantha rahasya granthAs also. Only after recitation of 
the Tanian, one can undergo Kalakshepam of the Grantha.

 

In all Sri Vaishnava institutions like Srimath Andavan Ashramam and Sri Ahobila 
Mutt, Parakala Mutt etc., Tanians of poorvacharyas are being recited everyday.

 

With the grace and blessings of asmath acharya, Srimadh Andavan, I submit

this article. It consists of, the general meaning of the Tanians of 
poorvacharyas of Srimadh Srirangam Andavan ashramam.  It starts from the Tanian 
of Prakrutham  Srimadh Andavan, Sri Ranga Ramanuja Maha Desikan  &  proceeds 
upwards, in ascending order & ends with the Tanian of   Sriman Narayana,  the  
earliest of the preceptors, in Sri Vaishnava Guru parampara. (As recited in 
Asramam; ref: Sevakala Sarrumurai Kramam, Srirangam Srimad Andavan Ashram). Any 
mistakes in the meaning of the tanians are solely adiyens and I seek pardon 
from bhAgavathas in Advance.
