Dear BhakthAs :

This is an informtion item .

Sri Sampath Rengarajan is posting a series
of important articles on the greatness of Sri RaamAnuja 
NooRRandhAthi and the greatness of its author,
Thiruvarangatthu AmudhanAr , a contemproary of
AchArya RaamAnujA . 


These postings are on a private mailing list 
now and may not be known well to the readers of 
the Bhakthi list. I have attached the latest 
posting ( Posting # 8) as a sample . Please fell 
free to let Sri Rengarajan know whether you 
would like to be on his mailing list for these
so that he can send the copies to you directly .
This way only those , who might be interested 
can receive them . 

He has provided 8 postings sofar 
as Introduction and from here on he will
be writing about the individual 108 slOkams
over the next few weeks /months .In all , there
will be 100 plus postings of 3-4 paragraphs length .
Some difficult to assemble information is being
presented in these postings.

>meaning: When this "varik kuyil" of Srivaishnva pArampariyam sings
>about Sri irAmAnusa nooRru anthAthi, there is a gentle breeze
>known as "anubavam" that dips itself in the "oyyAra aruvi" (the
>flow of the thought conveyed in the poorvAchAryA vyAkyAnams about
>Sri irAmAnusa nooRRu anthAthi is similar to a "falls" that is so
>elegant and is flowing continously) and brings the dampness of the
>falls ("sAral") along with it. Such dampness is felt even when
>reading the words of Sri thiru arangatthu amuthanAr in his
>pasurams of Sri irAmAnusa nooRRu anthAthi. The dampness is not
>only felt but it has been coming out as similar to a "spring"
>(ooRRu) with a non-stop flow. The "valimai" or the power of the
>words of Sri thiru arangatthu amuthanAr are incomparable. Whenever
>one dwell in this anubavam they will be soaked in honey or "thEn",
>in addition to this dampness and the the flow from this "ooRRu" or
>the "spring" and the words that are so powerful in senthamizh.

>These 3 pasurams were also validated by the prathyaksha darshanam
>of Sri emperumAnAr, Sri Koorathu AzhwAr and their shishyALs. Sri
>emperumAnAr, Sri AzhwAn and shishyALs stood as the "rakshai" this
>time around, and provided the protection for the 4000 at the end
>of it. It is said that Sri Kooratthu AzhwAr pleaded to Sri
>RanganAthar and thAyAr and wished that there must be "three sARRu
>pAsurams" for Sri irAmAnusa nooRRu anthAthi. He did so, to make
>everyone to remember this incident that the last 3 pasurams are
>delivered in the presence of Sri emperumAnAr himself. So when all
>the other prabhandhams will have only 2 sARRu pAsurams Sri
>irAmAnusa nooRRu anthAthi alone will have three sARRu pAsurams.

>Though Sri peria vAcchAn pillai did not deliver a vyAkyAnam for Sri
>irAmAnusa nooRRu anthAthi, he had however overwhemingly mentioned
>refererence to Sri thiru arangatthu amuthAnAr's par-excellence in
>senthamizh pulakAngitham in many places. Sri peria AcchAn pilai
>also has compared some of the utterances in AzhwArs pAsurams to
>the usage of excellent anubavam of Sri Arangatthu amuthanAr. The
>"nirvAham" of Sri arangatthu amuthAnAr for AzhwAr pAsurams is
>cited by Sri peria AcchAn pillaiin in many of his vyAkyAnams. ie.,
>Sri thiru arangatthu amuthanAr had his own unique anubavam of Sri
>AzhwAr pAsurams and such is highlighted none other by the vyAkyAna
>chakravathi Sri peria AcchAn pillai himself.

>Sri pin pazhagiya jeer who is also the shishyAL of Sri nam jeer
>had delivered references to Sri thiru arangatthu amuthanAr in his
>"vArrtha mAlai" and "Sri ArAyirapadi guru pArampariyam". Swami
>dEsikan had referred to Sri thiru arangatthu amuthanAr in his
>"prabhandha sAram". Sri nayinAr AcchAn pillai (son of Sri peria
>AcchAn pillai) had delivered ample references to Sri thiru
>arangatthu amuthanAr in "saramOpAya nirnayam". Sri yamunAchAriar
>of thiru malai AndAn's vamsam also has delivered many references

>Sri thiru arangatthu amuthanAr lived for 108 years and he

>irAmAnusa nooRRu anthAthi. Sri MaNavALA mA munigaL delivered a

>delivered an elaborate vyAkyAnam using 1000 padi (*), for this
>grantham. Sri prathi vAthi bayankaram AnnangarAchAr delivered a
>vyAkyAnam for this "nool". Sri Utthamoor Swami delviered a
>vyAkyAnam for this grantham as a part of his commentary for 4000
>divya prabhadham. A detailed publication of Sri pillai lOkam
>Jeer's vyAkyAnam and Sri MaNavALa mA munigaL's "uRai" has been

>Sadagopan Swamin. adiyEn was asked to write on this by a parama

>as about the thaniyans (please refer to the postings of the month
