Guest guest Posted May 7, 2000 Report Share Posted May 7, 2000 Shreematey Raamaanujaaya Namaha Dear Shree Vaishnavas, Let us all think of the great Kainkaryams and Upakaarams done by our Greatest Aacharya Bhagavat Ramanuja Yatiraja today which is his Avataara Tiru Nakshaktram. Bhagavat Raamaanuja fullfilled the three wishes of Shree Bhagavat Yaamunacharya and re-established the Parama Vaidika Matam which is Visistaadvatia Shree Vaishnavam. Our Aacharya contributed 9 celebrated works like 9 divine gems. They are 1. Vedaartha Samgraham - The essence of Veda 2. Shree Bhaasyam - The elaborate commentry on Brahma Sutra 3. Vedanta Deepam - Commentry on Brahma Sutra shorter than Shree Bhaasya 4. Vedanta Saaram - Commentry on Brahma Sutra shorter than Vedanta Deepa 5. Shree Gita Bhasya - Commentry on Bhagavat Gita 6. Saranagati Gadya - Reg. Saranagati 7. Shree Ranga Gadya - Reg. the divine mercy on Shree Ranganatha 8. Shree Vaikunta Gadya - Reg. the trancendental divine Shree Vaikunta 9. Nitya Granta - Reg. daily duties and Bhagavat Aaradhana. Shree Bhagavat Raamaanuja made his diciple Tiru Kurugai Piran Pillan to write an extraorinary commentry on Tiru Vai Mozhi of Shree Satakopa Namalvar. Shree Bhagavat Raamaanuja made the names of Sage Parasara and Sage Vyasa to spread in the world with glory. Shree Bhagavat Raamaanuja established the Nitya Aaradhana krama in many temples properly. Tirupati Shree Venkatam, Tillai Chitrakutam, Tiru Narayanapuram (Yaadhavaadri) are few to name. Shree Bhagavat Raamaanuja made the Lord himself to exclaim on seeing his services at Tiru Kurungudi. Shree Bhagavat Raamaanuja made thousands of diciples to preach Visistaadvaita Shree Vaishnavam after his period. Shree Sudarsana Suri, Vatsya Varadaacharyar (Nadaadur Ammal) are few names among thousands to mention. Shree Bhagavat Raamaanuja's order has to be executed properly with ultimate devotion and dedication. This is the way by which we can serve the lotus feet of Shree Bhagavat Raamaanuja Yatiraja. 1. A Shree Vaishnava after undergoing Pancha Samskaram has to study the Shree Bhasya and preach its meaning to his selected students. If this is not possible, then 2. He must study the Divya Prabandam with its commentries of our Aacharyas and preach its meaning to selected students. If this is not possible, then 3. He must do service in Divya Desams like preparing sandal wood paste, flower/tulasi garlends for Lord Hari. If this is also not possible, then 4. He must contemplete on the divine meaning of the mantra ratnam which is the Dvaya mantram as taught by his Aacharya. Even if this is not also possible then 5. He without ego(ahamkara mamakarams) must serve a qualified Shree Vaishnava (Bhaagavata). Dear Shree Vaishnavas, I have given only in brief the extraordinary services of Shree Bhagavat Raamaanuja Yatiraja. Even great scholars like Shreeman Nigamanta Maha Desika have said that the glory of Shree Ramanuja Yatiraja is beyond their words. Such is the infinite glory of our Aacharya. In this day which is his Avatara Tiru Nakshatram, we may remember His greatest services and get Aacharyas blessings. Let us all be proud to call ourself as "Raamaanuja Daasa". For further explanation of Bhagavat Ramanuja's works, please write to me. Thanks & Regards M.S.HARI Raamaanuja Daasan. __________________ Get free email and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
