SrI:
 
Dear SishyAs and AbhimAnis of Sri Matam :
 
AdiyEn will be starting a series of articles on
Bhagavad Vishayam today to celebrate
the upcoming 82nd Thiru Nakshatra
Utsavam of HH Srimad Azhagiya Singar
at Chennai on December 7 , 2009 .
 
Bhagavad Vishayam is a KaalkshEpa Grantham. It is one of the four ( Grantha ChAtushtyam) recommended for study ( KaalakshEpam) under AchAryan's sacred  feet .
 
Bhagavad Vishayam is about Swamy NammAzhwAr's ThiruvAimozhi . It is known as 6,000 padi and consists of six thousand units of length known as Padi . This is the first commentary of ThiruvAimozhi in MaNipravALam.
 
Bhagavad Vishayam was assigned for
commentary by AchArya RaamAnuja
(1017-1137 C.E) to His dear disciple ( Jn~Ana Putran ) , ThirukkurukkEsar ( Thirukkurhai PirAn PiLLAn) , the second son of Periya Thirumalai Nambi , the uncle of AchArya RaamAnujA .
 
KurukkEsar was born during a Srimukha
Samvatsara Iyppasi day , when PoorvAshAda
Nakshatram was in ascendance . He belonged
to Shadamarshana gOtram of AchArya Naatha Muni .
 
KurukkEsar's education was entrusted by
Periya Thirumalai Nambi to his nephew ,
AchArya RaamAnujA . KurukkEsar was
appointed as Ubhya SimhAsanAdhipathi
by AchArya RaamAnuja , which was a rare
distinction among the 74 SrI BhAshya
SimhAsanAdhipatis selected by AchArya
RaamAnuja . KurukkEsar was commissioned
to teach and propagate both Sri BhAshyam
and ThiruvAimozhi . KurukkEsar composed and presented " Bhagavad Vishayam " to AchArya RaamAnuja , who ordered that it should serve as a KaalkshEpa grantam from then on.
 
KurukkEsar's sishyar was YengaLAzhwAn of
ThiruveLLaRai ( 1106-1197C.E ), the author of the commentary on VishNu PurANam ( VishNu chitteeyam) . His sishyar was NadAthUr AmmAL ( 1165-1275) of Srivatsa Gotram , whose grandson was GadikAsatam AmmAL ; latter was the AchAryan of the Founding Jeeyar of Ahobila Matam ,
Sri Adhi VaNN SaThakOpa Yatheendhra
MahA DEsikan .
 
NadAthUr AmmAL's sishyar was AtrEya
RaamAnujar, the uncle and AchArya of
Swamy NigamAntha Mahaa Desikan .
One of the SrI Sooktis of Swamy Desikan
is Taatparya RatnaavaLi , the celebration of
the 1,000 kalyANa guNams of Sriman
NaarAyaNan as celebrated by Swami
NammAzhwAr in His ThiruvAimozhi and is
therefore related to Bhagavad Vishayam . 
 
adiyEn will present a series of postings on
Bhagavad Vishayam/Taatparya RatnAvaLi
for this special Birthday Celebrations and request all of you to participate in this Ubhaya VedAntha Birth day celebrations at SelayUr/East Tamabram on December 7 , 2008 .
