Sri:
SrimathE RAmAnujAya nama:

Dear Sri Parthasarathy,

Excellent,beautiful,wonderful. My small mind could see 
certain things only after reading your post. I would be happy if 
dEvarIr answers my questions wrt our sampradAyam.

(i)In our sampradAyam,is samAshrayaNam itself prapatti? These are all 
very subtle topics to grasp(esp prapatti) for me. In my understanding 
prapatti is a mental state. Can you please tell in simple words? Your 
last passages didn't get into my head clearly. From my own personal 
experience I have realized that no matter how much effort I put 
nothing works out. This clearly shows that everything happens only if 
HE wishes it happen. 

(ii)From when sARRumuRai started? 

(iii)Did bhaktAs wear TirumaN prior to RAmAnujA's period? Also my 
mother used to tell that RAmAnujA was the one who started it(just 
before he undergoes samAshrayaNam and he meets thAyAr and varadar in 
the guise of old couple who ask RAmAnujA to fetch water). 

(iv)On behalf of all devotees,I request you to give commentaries on 
NDP. What ever is convenient that suits your time,can be taught. Your 
words regarding current generations lacking knowledge in samskrt and 
tamil applies to me. One of my favorite pasuram is AmalanAdipirAn and 
chant it daily knowing the meaning very...superficially. All I 
realize is that though it's concise,it looks like punch lines(essence 
of the vEdAs). In simle words TiruppAN AzhwAr concluded saying that 
the eyes that had seen Lord Ranganatha will not look at anythingelse.
I am now learning RN and URM through Sri MAV's casette.
