Guest guest Posted November 3, 1999 Report Share Posted November 3, 1999 Sri: Srimathe Ramanujaya Namah: Dear Sri U Ve Velukkudi Krishnan Swamin, I am not qualified to even say that "your post was great". Already Sri Sadagopan immerses us in the bhakti laden srisookthis of Sri Varavara muni, with such great anubhavams. Thanks for the great information on "Ramanuja" name. In fact, when Sri Bharat mentioned about Arthi Prabhandham, a couple of weeks ago, I went back and read them. What a beautiful prabhandham! What anubahvams and naichiyanusanthanam of Sri Manavala mamunigaL! I would like to just quote two from this great Arthi Prabhdhams for our enjoyment! (in spite of my free translation, still you will find them great..) "adhikaaran uNdEl arangar irangaarO?/ adhikaaram illaadhavarkkanRO - YathirAjA!/ nee iranga vENduvadhu; neeyum adhikaarigaLukkE irangil en seyvOm yaam? Lord Ranganathan, blesses and saves those, who adhere to saasthras; who qualify themsselves, for the recipients of His mercy, by following as prescribed (like performing Karma, jnAna, Bhakti Yogam). We are not capable of performinh such paths. akinchanan; ananya gathih; We are helpless; we have no other refuge; Only for such "poor" helpless people like us, RamanujA! YathirAjA! You are there to save! (Hence, the only thing that we can do now is to surrender at Your Feet.) But, if you also, YathirAjA, start to look for qualified (adhikaaris) only, where do we go, RamanujA, and what else we can do? "ennaip pOl pizhai seyvaar iv ulagil uNdO? unnaip pOl porukka vallaar uNdO?- anaitthu ulagum vaazhap piRandha yathiraasa maamunivaa! yEzhaikku irangaay ini. Oh Yathiraajaa maa munivaa! Is there any one greater sinner than I! Is there any one more patient (and more merciful) than You! YathirAjA! the One, born to save the whole world! Please have mercy one me now.
