Guest guest Posted October 15, 1995 Report Share Posted October 15, 1995 Dear Sadagopan, Thanks for your as usual eloquent discription of the significance of the number 32 in the Sri-Vaishnava Philosophy. You said: >>The Sri Ranganatha Paaduka >>>symbolizes for us the Sri Satari that we wear on our head to get >>the >>blessings of Nammazhwar, the Prapanna janakootastha. Acharya >>Ramanuja is said to >>be the satari (foot rest ) of Nammazhwar and the tradition >>continues all the >>way down to our Acharyas at the Andavan Asramam or Ahobila >>Matam or Parakala >>Matam. <<<< What does SATARI actually mean? I thought it means Nammazhwar, and he got that name because of his anger (Shatakopar) or animosity (Shat+ari=Shatari) towards the Shata Vayu (akin to Shatamarshanar). I also thought we are placed on our head the Paduka of Nammazhwar etched on a crown, which we refer to simple as Shatari. You wrote Satari=foot rest. Please clarify. Thanks, K. Sreekrishna.
