SrI: SrImathE Ramanujaya namah: Dearest all, EmperumAnAr?s main objective was to let everyone on the world know the real entity [tattva], the means [hitham] and the purusharttham [ultimate goal]. Depending on the individual capacity, Swami blesses these appropriately. ? says Amudhanar. vaNmaiyi Nnaalunthan maathaka vaalum mathipuraiyum thaNmaiyi Nnaalumith thaaraNi yOr_katkuth thaan_charaNaay uNmain^an NYaanam uraiththa iraamaa Nnuchanaiyunnum thiNmaiyal laalenak killai,maR ROrnNilai thErnthitilE. 73 Without seeing the greatness of what He teaches us, and our qualification for receiving it (and considering only what great it is going to do to us), He teaches us the esoteric, essence of all saasthrAs in simple terms. He is so merciful. He can not stand to watch us going down the trench of samsaara saagaram and waste our precious human births (lives). He showers coolness to the scorching heat of samsaaram like the cool moon rays. He blesses even those (who are not bothered with the realization of Brahman and jnAnam) and teaches them true jnAnam about Self and Sarva sEshathvam of Self to the Lord. Hence, there is no other thought for me (that befits me) except the thought of Ramanujacharya, who is so merciful and who has got such gracious mind to save everyone in this world. thaerndhidil- when analyzing, enakku- for me- who is now the viviEki of Sara asaram [whai is good and what is not] than vaNmaiyinaalum - due to his own audhArya guNA than maadhagavaalum ? and the dayA guNA that removes the sorrows of others mathi puraiyum thaNmaiyinaalum- like the moon showering coolness [through his glances] e dhaaraNiyOrgatku- for everyone on this earth thaan saran aay- He alone became the rakshakar [saviour] for them uNmai nal jnAnam- the truthful vedanthic knowledge that grants welfare uraittha iraamanusanai ? was advised by Sri Ramanujacharya unnum thiNmai allaal maRRu Or nilai illai- Other than mediating and contemplating his [Ramanuja?s] kalyANa guNAs, there is no other thought that should befit me. Those who have entered into other religions that are avaidik, are corrected and transformed by Ramanuja by teaching the truthful Vedic knowledge. The reason is only due to his audhArya guNA. He did not ignore them; Instead He wants to save everyone. Those who are burning in samsaaris afllictions and want to get rid of thaapathraya and when they take refuge at the feet of Ramanuja, Swami ensures that they are granted mOksham and that is due to his dayA guNa; Those who would like to involve and engage themselves in Bhagawath, BhAgwatha and Acharya kaimkarya and seek Ramanuja for the same; depending on their capacity and level, Swami mercifully glance at them like the cool moon showering its rays; [pushNAmi ChowdhaDhI: sarvA:sOmO bhoothvA rasAthmaka: ] He established at various places his centers for expanding the group of saadhus everywhere in the world. He organized the temple functions and puja and streamlined the same; He walked across the country and saved thousands and thousands of sishyas on the way. Such greatest most merciful Paramacharya- leaving him, do I have anyone else to think of? My mind will never ever think of anyone else hereafter. The five things that should be known to the seeker of Salvation are to be known to every mumukshu [seeker of salvation] ParamAtma Svarupa: the characteristics of the Supreme soul JeevAtma Svarupa: the characteristics of the individual soul UpAya Svarupa: the means for the JeevAtma to reach the ParamAtma - Moksha through Bhakti or Prapatti (Note that RAjayOga, KarmayOga and JnAnayOga are not the direct means to attain Moksha.) Phala Svarupa: the ultimate purpose of existence of the JeevAtmas is to serve (Daasatva) at the feet of ParamAtma on attaining Moksha and VirOdhi Svarupa: the nature of impediments on the path of the ultimate goal.
