Fw: [ramanuja] The Six Questions

[Guest guest]

Dear swAmy,

 

Yes, The GuruparamparA prabhAvam is not clear whether six questions was asked or

more or less.

 

The prabhannAmrudham, however, clearly mentions that 4 questions were asked

..These were asked through Thirukkachi nambi to PEar aruLALan

 

1. upAyangaLiL edhu nalladhu? - Which is the best of means?

2. mOksham adaivadhaRku mun anthima smrithi vEANdumA? -Does one needs to have

His thought before breathing last,to attain mOksham?

3. endha janmathil mOksham adaivadhu? When will the mOksham be granted?

4. endha AchAryanai nAn Asrayippadhu? To Which spiritual mentor Should I

surrender to/

 

Sri RamAnuja rquested Sri Thirukkachi Nambi as follows: " These questions have

been in mind and I have more or less made up my mind regarding this. Please ask

these questions to dhEvap perumAL"

 

The Lord of course replied by fathoming the mind of Thirukkachi Nambi, Himself.

 

Let it be. That was not my doubt actually.

 

It is clear that Sri Udayavar had the questions in his mind-whether it was

expressed or not.

 

However, DhEVap perumAL while explaining to Thriukkachi NambigaL mentions that

Sri RAmAnujar is like Sri KrshNA learning from SAnthEpani.

 

Such type of questions emanating from already learned people shoud be

categorised, where was my doubt?

[ramanuja] The Six Questions

 

 

dear shri padmanabhan,

 

thanks foryour feedback.

 

as for the "Aaru vaarthai", though we have the six answers furnished by

Perarulaalan, we do not appear to have the precise questions asked, nor do we

know that they were six in number. i shall be grateful for any additional light

you can throw on the matter.

 

regards, dasan, sadagopan
