SRIMATHE RAMANUJAYA NAMAH; (6) APPAN THIRUVADIGALE SARANAM Dear Bhagavathas, Accept my pranam. This is in continuation of my earlier posting. # Is this kind of grace will be avilable to all? AMMAN AAZHI PIRAN AVAN EVVIDATHAN/ YAAN YAR? EMMA PAVIYARKUM VIDHI VAIKINRU KANDEER.(TVM.5.1.7) ( The protector Where does he reside?Whom I? However sinful are people, they will get his grace when it is due.) AARENAKKU NINPADHAME SARANAKA THANTHOZHINTHAYEE UNAKKU ORU KAIMARU NANONRILEN ENATHAVIYUM UNATHE?(TVM.5.7.10) (Who else can help me? You have given your lotus feet as protection to me.

This is the special way which he likes and honours me.) Many more examples can be shown from Thiruvaimozhi SUCH IS THE way shown by NAMMAZHVAR And other Azhvars also. Not only Azhvars, Acharyas Also. ? NADHARMANISHTOSMI NACHATMAVEDHI NA BHAKTHIMAMSTHVAT CHARANARAVINDHE AKINCHANO ANANYAGHTHIS SARANYA THVAT PADHARAVINDHA MOOLAM CHARANAM PRAPATHYE (Stotra Ratnam.22) (I do not follow Karmayoga, nor AtmaGnana yoga nor Bhakti yoga.I do not know any other wayother than your Lotus feet.I surrender to you) ?VAPURATHISHU YOAPI KOAPI VA GUNTHOASANI YTHA THATHAVIDHAHA THTHAYAM THVA PADHA PADHMAYO; AHAMDYAIVA SAMARPITHA;(Strotra ratnam.52) ?MAMA NATHA!
