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
