dear mukundan. aseervadams. the questiolns are very basic and to some extent silly.according to the guruparampara prabhavam and varavara muni charithiram lord ranganatha as a sishya to manavalamanunigal gave his adisesha peetam to him as a mark of respect. he performs the celebrations of manavalamanunigal on his birthday as well as his death day at srirangam. the acharya cycle is ended with manavalamanini. the reason is there could be nother acharya equivalent to manavalamanini in the future. that is the greatness. lord rangantha has bestowed his ubaya vibhuthi, ie this world and the abode of lord paramapadam to ramanuja at srirangam. he made ramanujas body to be laid at srirangam within the twmple complex. even to day all sevakalam and sattumurai etc of daily rituals are perform ed at the udayavar sannadhi. this is significance. here ranganatha has not chosen ramanuja as has acharya. so no sambavana and duty of a sishya. the name given to vara aramini by his father is azagiamanavalan, meaning lord ranganathan . the name of ranganatha is azgiamanavalan. later when varavaramuni came to srirangam and became sanyasi and at the time of his visit to lord ranganatha he was named by ranganatha as azagiamanavala jeer. the word azasgiamanavalan has been further made as manavalamanuni by devotees. though literally the meaning is mapppillai it refers to ranganatha. now our family matter---what further news from you. about--green card, giri, visit to new yark, mami, lakshmi etc. particularly job for giri.mothe had gone to madras to attend to few items.she was expecting a call from you. she tried several times. both ofyou were not availabel.if possible contact madras at chitti place 8444203
with best wishes,
apppa.

Subject: [ramanuja] Manavalamamunigal - Asana on Adisesha
Date: Mon, 1 Oct 2001 15:55:12 -0500 (CDT)

sri:

Humble pranams:

Qs: Why does Manavalamamunigal have Adisesha as a Asana? (& Not Ramanuja)

A: Ramanuja did take on as Perumals acharya in a few instances
(Manrta Updesam to peruman & giving HIM Shankh & Chankra)
But lord never gave him any Sambhavana. (Lord had this kurai)

When VaraVaramunigal Gave Upadesam (Thiruavaimozhi saram), Lord gave
him sanbhavana (SriSailesa Daya Patram taniana) and commanded that this be
recited at every temple and home.

And gave His Seat for His Sishya (Adiyen wants to get this calrified from
periyavas) Pl. reply.

So Ramanuja & VaraVara munigal are Avatara of Adisesha, but Lords seat is
given for VaraVamunigal. (Please correct adiyen here... periyavas)


Q2: Manvala Mamunigal (Does Mamvalan mean Mapillai, why this name
how does this name apply to Periya Jeeyar)

As: Please reply with Ans.

dAsan
