Dear Bhagavathas,
Pranams

The reason why Ramanusa Nootrandhadhi is included in
the 4000 is as follows: (This explanation is in the
vyakyanam for Ramanusa Nootrandhadhi written by
Sri.U.Ve. Kanchi Mahavidhwan Pradhivadhi Bhayankaram
Annangaracharyar Swami).

Since Ramanusa Nootrandhadhi was written during the
days of Emberumanar, and since he himself heard it,
due to Emberumanar's own direction this prabhandham is
included with Azhwar's arulicheyals for all the
prapannas to recite everyday in their
Nithyanusandheyam. Since this prabandham includes
Emberumanar's name 'Ramanusa' in every paasuram, it is
also called "Prapanna Gaythri" since this is the
Gayathri every prapanna must recite every day. 

The point to be noted is that this prabandham is
included by Emberumanar himself and none other than
him has any authority to do so. Hence, there is no
descrimination what so ever possible.

Also, since we all have different systems in arriving
the total count 4000 (even without including Ramanusa
Nootrandhadhi), it really does not matter whether
Ramanusa Nootrandhahdi is part of 4000 or not. All it
matters is as a prapanna we MUST recite this in our
nithyanusandheyam. 3776, 3892, 4000 are all mere
numbers.

Kindly accept my appologies for any errors.

Adiyen

Ramanuja Dasan
