Sri: Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama: Dear Smt Nappinnai, In the VK sampradhayam, they do not chant the "nama shrishaila ..." thaniyan. As you rightly pointed out this is the thaniyan for Srishaileshar (Thiruvaymozhi- p-piLLai) and was written by Manavala Mamunigal himself for his acharya. In the VK sampradhayam, this is the point in the sarrumurai that they deviate - they recite the thaniyan "namO rAmAnujAryAya ..." which is a thaniyan for Atreya Ramanuja who is the acharya for Sri Vedanta Desikar. It is followed by the Desikar thaniyan "rAmAnuja dayApAtram ..." (this Ramanuja refers to Atreya Ramanuja and not Bhagavad Ramanuja). By the way, adiyEn has a question about the "sarva dEsa ..." - was it written by Manavala Mamunigal or by Nanjeeyar (who was also known as Periya Jeeyar)? I don't think I have put the "nama srIshaila ..." thaniyan in the VK sarrumurai document. I do have a combined document where this thaniyan and the "namO rAmAnujAryAya ..." thaniyan together. This is for the use of my santhai class where because we have mixed group of students, we recite the sarrumurai kramam of both sampradayams.
