SrimathE RaamAnujAya nama:

 

Dear Members of the AchArya RaamAnuja Kulam :

 

AchArya RaamAnujA is our AchArya SikhAMaNi .

The beauty of His ThrumEni has been praised by

EmbAr , His direct disciple this way :

 

" paRpamenat-thihazhum paimkazhalunRan pallavamE viralum

paavanamAhiya painthuvarAdai pathintha marumkazhahum

MUPPURI NOOLODU MUNKAIL YENTHIA MUKKOL TANNAZHAHUM---"

 

Here EmbAr known for his unique AchArya Bhakthi

visualizes in his mind the extraordinary beuty of

EmperumAnAr . He focuses on three aspects of beauty

in the first three lines of this eight line Paasuram:

 

1. The lotus soft hands and the tender fingers

there resembling a tender creeper

 

2. the sacred ochre vasthram ( KaashAya vasthram )

on His waist and its beauty

 

3. the shining sacred thread on His chest and

the MukkOl ( ThridhaNDam ) held majestically

on His right hand.

 

The thridhaNdam in EmperumAnAr's sacred hand

displaying Jn~Ana (UpadEsa )MudhrA has been

recognized as the integration of many tatthvams :

 

1. The Thrayyantham (the three vedAs: Rg , Yajus ,

Saama Vedams)

 

2. SamhithAkaara-PraNavam : ananyArha Seshathvam ,

ananya SaraNathvam and ananya BhOgyathvam

symbolizing the way of a ParamaikAnthi .

 

3. His Three kaimkaryams to fulfill the pledges

made to AchArya Alavandhar to release His three

fingers from their folded position at the time of

His departure from this earth to proceed to

Sri Vaikuntam.

 

4. The symbol of absolute control over the three karaNams

( ManO-Vaak-Kaayam, Karana Thrayam )as the Emperor of

SanyAsis.

 

5. The combination of the present , the past

and future (Kaala Thrayam ) and the glory of

Sri VisishtAdvaitha Darsanam for all times .

 

6. Other Esoteric Meanings covered in Yathi Dharma

samucchayam contained in His sishyan's

(YaadhavaPrakAsar)grantham , who was once

EmperumAnAr's teacher at Kaanchi.

 

We must remember that EmperumAnAr entered into

SanyAsAsramam by accepting the KasashAyam and

ThridhaNdam at Lord VaradarAjan's sannidhi

and with the niyamanam of the Lord of Hasthigiri.

 

Swamy Desikan is ecstatic , when he meditates on

the ThirumEni of YathirAjar with the shining sacred

thread , Urdhva PuNDram and the THRIDHANDAM in

His hand , which he salutes as the INTEGRATION of

the PuNyams accumulated by all the three worlds :

 

upavEthanam Urdhva PuNDravantham

thrijagath puNya phalam THRIDHANDA HASTHAM

SaraNAgatha sArTa vaaham IDE

sikhayA sEkhariNam PATHIM YATHEENAAM

--YathirAja Sapthathi : SlOkam 11

 

Lord RanganAthan , who received EmperumAnAr

as a gift from Lord VaradarAjan recognizes this

ThridhaNDam and is at the behest of EmperumAnAr

to save us all from this SamsAram & its Bheethis

(terrors):

 

Vasya: sadhA Bhavathi YathirAja TasmAth

Saktha: svakeeya janapaapa VimOchanE Thvam

--Yathi Raaja Vimsathi : Slokam 17

 

Lord RanganAthan is always under the vasIkaraNam

( influence or even control) of EmperumAnAr

and ready to fulfill the wishes of EmperumAmAnAr

to destroy the accumulated sins and puNyams of

the sishyAs of EmperumAnAr and vouch them their

places in Sri VaikuNTam .

 

SUCH IS THE POWER OF THE THRIDHANDAM ON THE HAND

OF ACHAARYA RAAMAANUJA AND ESPECIALLY AT HIS

AVATHAARA STHALAM , SRI PERUMBHUDHUR .

 

With your help , adiyEn would like to complete

the Once-in-a-life time Kaimkaryam by us all

to have the samarpaNam of the ThridhaNDam to

the ThiruppAvai Jeeyar during the Marghazhi month

when Srimath Azhagiya Singar returns from his

trip to the Northern dhivya desams .

 

We will make sure that all the followers of

Bhagavath RaamAnuja SiddhAntham are invited

to particpate in this planned function .

EmbAr Jeeyar and the other resident Jeeyar

of Sri perumbhUthUr will take an active role

in planning this samarpaNam by Srimath Azhagiya Singar.

Earlier Srimath Azhagiya Singar has presented

a Pathakkam containing the reclining RanganAthar.

That pathakkam adorns the broad chest of

the Thaam Uhantha thirumEni of EmperumAnAr

at Sri perumbhUthUr.

 

We have 7K Rupees left over .It is the estimate of

the Gold Smith that we will need another 44K Rupees

($1,000) to complete the remaining work of Gold meshing

( rEk work) to keep the ThridhaNDam stay luminous

and durable for many decades to come and meet

the rigors of (daily ?)Thirumanjanam .

 

May adiyEN invite all the RaamAnuja BhakthAs

to join in this kaimkaryam and pledge the amounts

that they wish to send.AdiyEn will look for Tax deductible

way to cover this samarpaNam . At this time , adiyEn

wishes to learn about your pledges to take this Kaimkaryam

to the final stage prior to Samarpanam .

 

PraNAmam LakshmaNa Muni: PrathigruhNAthu Maamakam

PrasAdhayathi Yath Sookthi: SvaadhInapathikAm Sruthim
