Srimathe Ramanujaya  Nama:
Srimath VaraVara Munaye Nama:

Upadesa Ratthinamalai - Post 4
========================

 In this prabandam Swami MM has very kindly documented the birth details 
(star, month and place of birth) of all Azhvars as well as Sri Andal, 
Madurakavi Alwar and Swami Emperumanar. 
Perhaps in his own time he must have observed that these details are distorted 
and were the topic of controversy. In order dispel all such doubts for all time 
to come 
he felt the need for including the particulars in a ?grantha?  which were 
hitherto guarded 
by hearsay. 

Incidentally, Swami MM has put the speciality of each Azhvar and the special 
meanings enshrined 
in their works in this prabandham. Thus the inner meanings of Thirumanthram, 
such as ?ananyarha seshatwam?(the subservience to Lord Sriman Narayanan only), 
is reflected in this work. He has also glorified the arulicheyal (4000 Dhivya 
prabhanam)
commentaries by various Acharyas and the un-parallel works 
of "Rahasya Arthas? by Swami Pillai Lokacharyar for our benefit. 

The beauty of explaining the philosophy expounded by Swami Nammalwar, 
i.e. the glory of devotion to Lord (prathama parva nishtai), the glory of 
devotees? devotee 
(sarama parva nishtai) and the essence of rahasyas are all listed for our 
benefit.
The delivery and explanations are par excellence.

All the teachings are based on the knowledge received from Thiruvoimozi Pillai, 
which have come down through Acharya lineage from Swami Nammalwar. 
We should all remain grateful to Swami MM for this help and show our respect 
by learning this immortal work URM with the meaning.

The name of the work is URM, means the gems of teachings put as a garland.
