Thirukkacchi Nambi birthday : Feb 29 , 2004: Maasi

RohiNi Nakshathram :

here is an article from an earlier posting :Dear Members of the Prapatti Group:

 

Today , we will be celebrating the

birthday of one of the greatest Vaishnavite Acharyas ,

Sri Thirukkacchi Nambi. I will send the translations and commentaries

onSri DEvarAjAshtakam of Thirukkacchi Nampi , which is beautiful to

reflect on.V.Sadagopan THIRUKKACCHI NAMBIThirukkacchi Nambi (Kanchi

Poorna Muni)

is known for his Thiruvaalavatta (Fan) Kainkaryam for

Sri Varadaraja(Devaraja) Perumal of Kanchipuram. He

had the great and unique honor to have the conversations

with Sri Varadaraja . His role as a mentor for Sri Ramanuja

has been well-chronicled in the Guru Parambhara Prabhavam.

He got the answers from Sri Varadaraja for the questions

of Sri Ramanuja which start with "Ahameva Param Tatvam ".

( Other devotees are requested to follow this thread .)

This great soul was successful in persuading Sri Varadaraja

to break His Archa Samaadhi and speak to him in this Kali Yuga.

His devotion for Sri Varadaraja and his uninterrupted service for the

Lord is legendary. His great Bhakti for the Lord of Kanchi and his

concern for the struggling Samsaaris joined together and led to

his moving composition known as Sri Devarajaashtakam .
