srImathE rAmAnujAya namah srImathE anantArya mahAguravE namah srImathE vara vara munayE namah Thanks for the good questions. Please keep in mind that I translated yAdruchhcika-p-padi as it is, and attempted NOT to add any explanations. I translated the word "anusandhEyam" as "necessary to constantly reflect upon the meaning of ". Here is a detailed explanation: There is no causal connection between this anusandhEyam and the krupa. The grace is spontaneous, and causeless (yAdruchchika, nirhEthuka krupa). So, it falls on all. For those on which it falls, the desire for liberation occurs. For those, for whom the desire has been caused by the spontaneous grace, it is necessary to constantly reflect upon these verses. Is it necessary to reflect to get the grace? - No. Is it necessary to reflect to be liberated? - the text in yAdruchchikappadi does not say so. Then why is it necessary? AchAryAs say that it is necessary for us to reflect so that we live a fruitful life in accordance with how a mumukshu should live. re: who a true AchArya is, the answer that elders give is that a True AchArya is one who comes in the lineage of AchAryAs established by Ramanuja and his successors, and who passes on the sampradAym as taught by His AchAryA without ANY changes. This, of course is just one of the many traits that a true AchArya has. adiyEn madhurakavi dAsan, varadhan --- In ramanuja@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Sadagopan Vasudevan <satakopanv@xxxx> wrote: > > I am enjoying this series, this is small and easy to understand for me, > more easy than the Mumukshupadi - Dwayam that was posted yesterday, which is good but too detailed for today person.
