srimathE rAmAnujAya nama:

Ramanuja sambhandam leads to Moksham - Part 3.2
=============================================

** So who is *the* Acharya **

MOKSHAM THROUGH RAMANUJA SAMBANDHAM - Part 2
"Srimaan abhirabhoot bhoomau rAmAnuja divAkara:"

Covered in previous post: 3.1  "UdayavarE (One who holds this world and the deva loka").

In Ramanuja Nootrandadi, verse 66, TiruArangathAmudanAr says that it is MadhavA Who gives moksham to people who are qualified to do Gnana and
Bhakti yoga. But it is swami Ramanuja, who wipes off the sins of unqualified people(ValvinayEn manatthil ) like me and grants moksham.
Pillai Lokam Jeeyar, in his commentary on Ramanuja Nootrandadi avers that Ramanuja's power to give moksham is well brought out in the above verse.

ThiruMangai Azhwar in TirunEdunthAndakam, says- "Veda Nangai" (He is the one Who gave us the Vedas and the purport of Vedas).
Swami Manavala Mamunigal says- On reaching paramapadam, the jeevatma enjoys the eternal pleasure sitting on Sriman Narayana's lap.
This has been made
possible Swami Ramanuja (MamalarAl pon madiyil vAitthu uraikkum vAzhvu namakku yEthirAjan arulum vAzhve).


Kidambi swami, a great saint started singing the verse
"Aparadha sahasra
Bhajanam?" (Alavandar's strotra ratnam) to the Lord Thirumalirin cholaimala Azhagar.

 The lord became furious and told Kidambi swami that this
statement holds good, before Ramanuja and not after. For everyone who has
taken and will take birth after Ramanuja, he is a sanatha and has a gathi and the only gathi is Ramanuja's thirvadi (lotus feet).

All the above statements bear testimony to the fact that it is indeed Ramanuja who is our Acharyan- so emphatically stated by Sriman Narayana
Himself and tirelessly reiterated by our illustrious preceptors in their lofty works.

There are numerous other instances that vouch for Swami Ramanuja's unique
position in SriVaishanavism.
I request others to post on this topic.

Adiyen Ramanuja Dasan,
Mukundan Vangipuram Pattangi
