philosophies and religions have been profounded and propagated for ages.
"Samayam palapala vAkki" says swamy Nammazhwar. All the different
philosophies were framed by emperuman himself and were given to the
world. Among these, Srivaishnava dharmam remains unique. This is
because, it has been in existence from the age of the vedas and our glorious
Guruparamparai stream of Acharyas propagates its richness across
generations. The originator of this Srivaishnava sampradayam, who is the first in the
Guruparamparai chain of acharyas, is Lord Sriman Narayanan himself. He is
followed by piratti, Sri Mahalakshmi.
Then follows senai mudaliyar, vishvaksenar. This lineage is actually a cycle
starting with periya perumal and ending with perumal himself as he cherished
being the disciple of Swamy manavala mAmunikal the last in the acharya
lineage. Moksha is assured to
anyone who is part of this cycle.
To get more Srivaishnavas into fold swamy udaiyavar, blessed with the
wealth of the two worlds and one who is adorned as ?Srivishnu loka mani mandapa
mArga dhAyee? appointed the 74 simhasanAdhipadhis, who blessed shisyas with the
three rahasyas (samasrayanam/panchasamskaram) and got them into the sharanagathi
marga as a representative of Swamy ramanuja. We find the acharyas in the lineage of
the 74 simhasanAdhipadhis still doing samasrayanam and uplifting many ignorant
jeevatmas. After swamy udaiyavar the ?oran vazhi sampradayam? continued till Swamy
manavala mAmunikal, adorned as ethi punarAvathara (yatheendra pravana). Swamy mAmunikal appointed
ashtadiggajAcharyas to spread and establish the ramanuja darsanam in all the 8
directions. The first and foremost
among them, the prime disciple of Swamy mAmunikal celebrated as ?Ponnaddikal
jeeyer? by mAmunikal himself was the founder of the vanamamalai mutt, ?HH Sri
onnana vanamamalai ramanuja jeeyer swamy? No words can really express the deep acharya bhakthi of swamy. Onnana swamy took sanyasa even before
his acharya, Swamy Mamunikal for the very purpose of acharya kainkaryam. Swamy did extensive traveling throughout
India as per the instruction of his acharya and did a great service to our
sampradayam. The effect of which we
realize even today, as we find thodadri mutts throughout India and in
Nepal. Adiyen has met a few people
from Nepal who proudly declare themselves to be thodadri mutt shisyas and when
we say that we are also part of the mutt then the reverence and regards reflect
in their eyes.
To have a detailed study about this great acharya adiyen requests you all
to go through the book ?Sri Varamangai Muni Vaibhavam?. The writeup in english
based on this book can be seen under the following link www.geocities.com/sumivaradan under
vaibhavams section. Following ponnaddikal swamy, 30 Jeeyers have followed till date. Now the crown of Vanamamalai mutt is
adorned by our revered acharya HH Sri kaliyan vanamamalai Ramanuja Jeeyer swamy
(30th peedAdhipathi).
Due to the divine blessings of our acharya and the ultimate grace of
parthasarathi emperuman adiyen had written about the taniyan, kainkaryam and
charama sloka details of the first 27 Jeeyers as postings in the groups based on
?Gaganagiri Muni Guruparampara Prabhavam?.
Adiyen humbly requests all bhagavatas to browse through the archives to
know about all the great mahans (acharyas) in the Gaganagiri Muni Guru
parampara. With such
a great order of acharyas and with mutts all over India, isn?t it fare to have a
mutt also in the second special divya desam for Srivaishnavas, thirumalai? But why hasn?t there been a mutt in
thirumalai till today? Let us wait till the next posting to know the
answer. Azhvar emperumAnAr Jeeyer
