Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya nama:

Sri Azhagiya MaNavALa PerumAL NAyanAr eplains the reasons for the 
greatness of TiruvAymozhi over Bhagavad Gita. Bhagavad Gita is a 
"thathva upadhEsham" or a "theory(aRivurai)". TiruvAymozhi is 
a "thathva dharshi vacanam" or a "practical". That is,NammAzhvAr has 
seen EmperumAn/God and TiruvAymozhi is the effect/result of that 
experience/anubhava or the God's grace(a cause which is causeless).

"adhu thathva upadhEsham;idhu thathva dharshi vacanam" - AH 190

BG 7.6: "Ethad yOnIni bhUthathAni sarvANIthi upaDhAraya |
aham krthsnas ya jagatha: prabhava: praLayas thaThA ||

Lord says: "I'm the cause of all the worlds and every living entity. 
I'm the creater,sustainer and the destroyer. I'm the seshi(master) 
and therefore I'm the "para" thatvam and there is no greater thatvam 
than I am. So,take refuge in Me alone." Lord explains His own 
greatness and lesser brains will not accept and realize this. On the 
other hand NammAhvAr,as an unfailing judge,shares his 
experience/anubhava of having seen EmperumAn/God and lesser brains 
can accept and appreciate this. 

"maNNum viNNum ellAm udan uNda nam
kaNNan kaN;alladhu illaiyOr kaNNE" - TVM 2.2.1

"kaNNan allAl illai kaNdIr sharaN
thiNNamA num udaimai uNdEl avan
adi sErththu uymminE" - TVM 9.1.10

PS:If the usage of words convey something different from the 
interpretations of our Acharyas,please don't hesitate to send a note 
or verify the actual meaning. I'm also learning and try to clarify my 
doubts with erudite people like Sri Parthasarathy,Sri Padmanabhan and 
others.
