PrathivAdhi Bhayankaram AnnA , one of the 8 gajams

(8 sishyAs , who were like the 8 elephants defending

th 8 directions ) is not a direct sishyA of AchArya

RaamAnujA.

 

Sri PrathivAdhi Bhayankaram ANNA (AnnangarAcchAr )

was a direct disciple of Sri MaNavALa Maamuni .

 

His dates are 1300-1410. He was also a disciple of

the son of Swamy Desikan , KumAra Varada Desikan

( NainicchAr). He composed a tribute to the Life

and works of Swamy Desikan(PrAchAryan) known as "Sapthadhi Rathna-

MaalikA " , which is an exemplary work on bhakthi towards

an AchAryan . His other works are : AbhEdha Khandana ,

a VykhyAnam on Swamy ParAsara Bhattar's Ashta SlOki

covered in the saraNAgathi list and is a master piece on

elaborating the exquisite and subtle doctrines (SookshmArthams)

of VisishtAdhvaitham .

 

In the devotional side , His Venaktesa Su[rabhAtham ,

SthOthram , Prapatthi and MangaLam are recited even today

at Thiruppathi in front of Lord VenkatEsA.He composed them at

the request of his aachAryan , Sri MaNavALa Maamuni.

The meanings of these four slOkams are covered in

the home pages for the Lord of ThiruvEnkatam by

Sri Haresh Balasubramanyan .

Dear Sri Sridhar,

 

Pranams.

I am happy that my site was of help to you.

 

There are many desciples of Sri Ramanujar.

One such is Sri Prathivadi Bhayankaram Annan.

He is so well versed in all Sri Vaishanava thatvams, vedanta, Vedas that one

arguing/debating with him is always in fear. No one can win him on debate of

any vedanta philosophies.

 

prativadi - in Tamil means, the opposite part in Debate/case

bhayankaram - in Tamil means fear/terror

 

this is a what as far as I know, other member pl correct me if I am wrong,

 

Om Namo Narayanaya Namaha:

regards,

Anand.

 

Sri Annangarachariyar creates fear and terror by his rich knowledge.

Dear Shri Anand Sowmithran,

 

Thanks for the vishnu sahasranama typed version

available at your site. I am all the way at Gurgaon

lazying to buy a book to teach my children. Your site

helped me to take a print of that and we are reciting

the stotras.

 

By the way would anyone explain what is meant by

"prativadi bhayankaram". This I have heard in

association with Thengalai. I could not get the

meaning of it.

 

Regards

 

Sridhar
