A Day in the Life of Our Acharyas - 84

[Guest guest]

Sri:

Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

 

One time Bhattar went to a place called Sridevimangalam

with

his disciples. There, some disciples of Nanjeeyar

received them and provided them with food and

hospitality. As Bhattar had covered his head with a

cloth, they had not recognized him.

 

Pleased by their service, Bhattar said "They are doing

this even without realizing who we are. Therefore,

this hospitality is not due to our greatness. The

devotion that they have toward our disciple Nanjeeyar

has carried over all the way to us."

 

That is, any greatness for a Srivaishnava, happens due

to their association with the Lord's devotees.
