SrI:
 
Dear Ubhaya VedAntha SampradhAyins :
 
Today was an auspicous day ! The SrI BhAshya KaalakshEpam
classes of SrImAn RaajagOpaala Bhattar and the Prabhandham classes
by SrI Varada Bhattar comenced at the SRI RanganAtha Temple .
 
THESE CLASSES WILL CONTINUE TOMORROW BETWEEN 4 AND 6 P.M;
EVERY WEEK END ON SATURDAY & SUNDAY, THE SERIES
WILL CONTINUE AT THE SAME TIME .PLEASE REFER TO
THE TELEBRIDGE NUMBER AND PASSWORD BELOW .
THEY ARE THE SAME AS of TODAY.PLEASE JOIN AND INVITE
YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO JOIN AS WELL . IT IS A RARE
OPPORTUNITY. 
 
The Brahma SoothrAs by BadarAyaNa ( VyAsa BhagavAn) 
and its commentary along the lines of BodhAyana Vrutthi were
not handled in Their entirety by Swamy Naatha Muni and His grandson 
Swamy AaLavanthAr. The reason has been given that  the crucial 
BodhAyana Vrutthi was not available to both of them  SINCE it was
located at far away Kashmir , where access to it was jealously guarded 
at the Sarasvathi temple. In fulfilment of the vow that AchArya
RaaamAnujA made to Swamy AaLavanthAr  after His ascent 
to Parama Padham  , AchArya RaamAnujaa  made the trip to
Kashmir with KurEsar and in the limited time he was allowed to
access the BodhAyana vrutthi , he imprinted the content in
His mind and wrote the SrI BhAshyam . AchArya RaamAnuja
followed a very ancient and authoritative tradition of commentary
that inclued Tanka , Dhramida BhAshyakAra , BodhAyana in
particular .
 
BodhAyana 's vritthi is considered very close in time to BaadarAyaNa ,
BodhAyana was sepearated in time from SoothrakArar  BadarAyaNa
(Sage VyAsaa) by only one AchArya in between.Thus it was important
for any  serious  commentator to be familiar with BodhAyana Vritthi to write
an authoritative commentary on Brahma/BaadharAyaNa SoothrAs.
Goddess Saraswathi  recognized the brilliance of AchArya RaamAnujA's
commentary and named it appropriately as "SrI BhAshyam " .
 
For most of us not having the familiarity with the noble Sanskrit
language , and SaasthrAs like MeemAmsam ( Poorva and Utthara
MeemAmsam forming one integral unit ) , VyAkaraNam and
the VaishNava Aaagamams , it is a grand opportunity to learn
SrI BhAshyam from one like Sri RaajagOpAla Bhattar , who
has been trained in the roigorous traditions of AhObila Matam
Schools at MadhurAnthakam founded by HH the 42nd Jeeyar
InjimEttu Azhagiya Singar ) in 1942.
 
We had an illuminating session today with the introductions to
the two MangaLa slOkams of SrI BhAshyam . The pravachana
sakthi of Srimad U.Ve.RaajagOpAla Bhattar is fully evident in
the first class today. This is a taste of the feast that is yet to
be enjoyed by us.
 
SrI RaajagOpAla Bhattar was followed by SrI Varada Bhattar of
ThiruviNnagar , who had santhai on selected dhivya Prabhandhams,
SrI Varada Bhattar is a PoorNAdhyAyi of Dhivya Prabhandham and
Yajur Vedam besides being an expert PurOhithar.
 
We at SrI RanganAtha Temple are fortunate to have these outstanding
Bhatars in our midst to perform AarAdhanam for Lord RanganAthA
daily. Please visit the temple and also join in the KaalashEpams and
Santhai classes every weekend .
