Swamin
Adiyen wish to clarify few things , Your explanation on Bhattar's saying is excellant , when He is out on "Thiruvarangan Ula", PurapAdu, we forget the whole world such is teh beauty of Him, but when He is out , sure He will be offered with the prasdams for His refreshing (Kalaipu theerthal, Kshemath thaligay :) etc and the prasdam will be distributed to all , can you imagine whether Bhattar will say NO to thatand will give the same to some one just because that day is Ekadasy :) Sure NO
 
This is the " PoorvaAcharyagal podham Anushtanagal " if you are looking for some other things , I am not sure why?
 
reg Alwar pAsurams whats that you wish to say , the explanation of EmberumAnar was so nice and swamy did it on naichiyam , if thats the case no other Acharyas would have written commentary on the DPs . The one what I quoted was from Swamy PerivAchan Pillai on ThirukurundhAdagam. So Alwar pAsurams are not "EttAk Kani" they are all evry much simple and for us only. From the vyAkyAnams we really go deep inside the meanings and correlate btw other concepts, pramanams etc, so taking quote from DPs is the ideal way and we should practice the same
 
Reg whats the conclusion of the thread?  Adiyen goes by Bhattar
 
Eg This time PeriAlwar TN falls on Ekadasy ? what shall we do ?
Lot many occassions I have seen ThiruvAdhirai falls on Ekadasy and even seen Swamy's prasadams as regular rice (puliyotharai Sarkarai pongal etc ) in SriPerumbudoor , This is the "Podham Anushtanangal "

srImathE rAmAnujAya namaha:

Actually, there is a higher interpretation given to Bhattar's
saying "Where did you find ekadasi in the midst of this periya
thirunAL?". During adyayana utsavam, devotees are supposed to be
totally submerged in the anubhavam of the Lord that they even forget
things like food etc. How is it that you remember that there is
something like food and that you are supposed to avoid it on a
specific day etc? This is also an interpretation given.

In any case, the question is: what is the conclusion of this thread?
Are we suggesting that we need not follow ekadasi? Can we try to find
out what is our pUrvAchAryas stand on the issue? In our sampradAyA we
accept only pUrvAchAryas as the final authority on all such matters.
Is it not? In that case, it turns out that there is no space for
entertaining what a specific person feels about a specific issue.
Rather we should try and understand the logic behind the anushtAnams
of pUrvAcharyAs (pUrvAchAryargaL podham anushtanangaL - URM).

Also, the answer given earlier is very relevant: we do it as part of
saranagathy. (anUkUlyasya sankalpam). Not practicing EkAdasi is
pratikUlam. So we must avoid not practicing (pratikUlyasya varjanam).

Besides, adiyEn thinks we are nowhere near understanding pAsurams and
their meanings. Who are we to interpret pAsurams? we should
completely depend on pUrAchAryas for interpretation of pAsurams and
we should just follow pUrvAchAryas anushtanams as it is. Once Swami
emperumAnAr was requested by his disciples to give a discourse on
thiruppAvai. Swami said that nobody can understand thiruppAvai as it
is. Only AndAL can understand the fullest meaning. He also said "I am
not qualified to give discourse on it you are not qualified to listen
to such a discourse". If swami (tiruppavai jeeyar) felt like that,
where are we? Remember that swami had great disciples - Azhwan,
andan, embar,arulala perumal emperumanar et al. Each of them was a
giant in sastras and anushtAnams. He said that they were not
qualified to listen to that discourse. Where are we?

kshamikka prarthikkirEn!

emperumAnAr tiruvadigaLE saranam!

adinAyEn,
varadha rAmAnuja dAsan.
