Humble pranam to all devotees:    
Azhvar Thirunagari - Emberumanar Sannidhi Appeal
http://www.vedics.net/appeals/azhvartn/

Dear Devotees: Please accept our Humble Pranam.

Part 3
After his birth, Swami Nammazhwar never behaved like a
normal baby. He did not cry, did not laugh, did not
drink milk and did not do any activity, which any
normal child would do. Seeing this his parents got
worried. So they consulted an astrologer, who said
that nammazhwar is not a normal child but was divine.
They took Swami Nammazhwar to the temple of
Thirukurugoor. Swami Nammazhwar who was just 12 days
old, started crawling towards a tamarind tree in the
temple and sat in padmasana meditating for 16 years
from then. He didn?t speak, didn?t drink or eat.  

   Madhura kavi azhwar who was a great jnani, was on a
pilgrimage in north India, at that time. One day when
he looked towards southern sky, he saw a bright star,
and with his knowledge in astronomy and astrology, he
realized that a great saint was born in the south. He
immediately left to south, with the intention of
meeting the great new born. Eventually swami
madhurakavi azhwar came to thirukkurukur, and became
the sishya, the devotee and the caretaker, of swami
nammazhwar (adiyen is not going into details here as
it is not our topic of discussion here). It was
madhurakavi azhwar who taught us the achAryAbhimAnam
for the first time, ?thevu maththariyEn kurukUr nambi
pAvin innisai pATiththirivanE? as he states in
kaNNiNunchirutthAmbu. It was swami madhurakavi azhwar,
who penned down the entire corpus of thiruviruththam,
thiruvAsiriyam, periyathiruvanthAthi and thiruvAymozhi
of swAmi nammAzhwAr. 


    Madhurakavi AzhwAr once requested swAmi nammAzhwAr
that ?once you finish the prabandhams you will leave
for paramapadam. adiyEn would like to see you, and
perform kainkaryams to you as long as adiyEn lives
here?. 

    Then swAmi nammAzhwAr asked madhurakavi AzhwAr to
bring water from thramraparni river, and boil it. From
the boiling waters a divyamangaLa vigraham came out
with an anjali hastham. Madhurakavi AzhwAr recognized
that this is not azhWars vigraham, so he went to
AzhwAr and conveyed the news. Then azhwar replied him,
this is the acharya I mentioned in the poliga poliga?.
Pathigam. He will be the bhavishyad achArya, who will
be born to relieve the samsaris from kail?s plays.
?Kaliyum kedum kandu konmin???? with such a confidence
azhwar points happly towards the future birth of
emperumAnAr. AzhwAr again asked madhurakavi azhwar to
continue boiling and then came a divya mangala
vigraham of azhwar himself with jnana mudrai. 

 Through the bhavishyad achArya vigraha the avathara
rahasya was revealed to madhura kavi azhwar much
earlier than the real avathara took place. But since
the person was not born during that time, madhura kavi
azhwar kept the bhavishyad acharya vigraham under a
small pit, near to the sacred tamarind tree. And kept
nammazhwar vigraham in his thiruvaradhanam. Both divya
mangaLa vigrahams are worshiped in azhwar thirunagari
at present. How the bhavishyad achArya shrine was
built?we will continue in the next post

Sri Ramanuja's original temple with the Vigraham from
~3200 BCE (first received by MadhurakaviAzhvar) is in
need of your support.
