Guest guest Posted August 16, 2001 Report Share Posted August 16, 2001 Dear Baagavadhathomas, I have a doubt on the position of Thiruvadi(Anjaneyar) in our sampradayam. I have seen in most of the old (Sri Vaishnavite) temples the Anjaneyar sannadhi is placed out side the temple only. Eg. Thiruvallikeni, Thiruneermalai, Madhuranthakam, (even Namakkal where these days Anjaneyar is more popular than Nrusimar or Ranganathar of that kshetram). While naming children we name them after alwars, acharyas, perumal, Ilaya perumal but only maadhwas have the practise of naming thier children after Anjaneyar(hanumantha rao etc.,) Will the erudite scholars of the list please enlighten me about the significance of Anjaneyar in our Sri Sampradaya. Why are there no significant Ramar temples in the 108 divya desams(particularly in south India) In popular divya desams, ramar Sannidhis only seems like a later addition, is this only my impertinant thought or is there any significance behind this. I will be greatful if my confusion is cleared by you. Adiyen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 20, 2001 Report Share Posted August 20, 2001 Anantha pranAmam to bhAgavathAs. 1. Temples for us symboise Sri vaikuntha. Hence the sannidhis are of those who adorn the vaikuntha ie., nithya and muktha besides the Lord Himelf. At the conclusion of rAmAvatAra, perumal offered to take everyone to srivaikuntha. But hanumAn refused, saying that he will immerse himself in rAmadhyana here in the land where rAma lived. Therefore he is living on ths earth as chiranjeevi and is present in every spot where rAma nAma is uttered (yatra yatra raghunAtha kIrthanam thatra thatra krithamasthakAnjalim....). This is the reason why we do not have hanumAn sannidhi inside the main temple ie., sri vaikuntha. 2. We do have popular names like Sundaram, rAmapriya etc which are also names of hanumAn. Yes, I have not come across any direct names like hanumantha IyengAr or AnjanEyAchAry in my life. Srhi VAsu venkat swamin, along with you, I also seek views from others on this matter. adiyEn, dAsAnudAsan.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2001 Report Share Posted August 21, 2001 Sri RAmajayam SrimathE GopAla DEsika MahA DEsikAya Namaha Dear Bhagavathaas, It is quite true that Sri Vaishnavites do not have names like Hanumanthachari or AnjanEya Iyengar. HanumAn is a great RAma Bhaktha and has a major role to play in Srimad RAmayanam. So HanumAn is worshipped as "Chinna Thiruvadi" in temples, just like "Periya Thiruvadi"(Garudhazvaar) where both do not have seperate Sannidhis, but more as rendering service to the lord. As for names, normally we tend to hold the names of the Divya Dhampathis (or) the names of Nitya Suris who not only engage themself in eternal Kaimkaryam to the Lord, but hold the greatest desire to be with the Lord(which could be seen in Azhvaar's paasuram of having joy in serving the lord, and in great pain and anguish in his absence). Sri AnjanEya was absorbed in the Divya Kalyaana Gunas of Sri Rama, and his Divya Anubhavam, that he did not even aspire MOksham, where he could have enjoyed the Lord in any way he chooses to, and chose to stay on Earth. Sri Vaishnavas charter their life with Vaidhika Dharma, which embellishes the PradAna Tattvam of SaranAgathi or Prapatthi, with the desire to be Jeeva Mukthas to perform eternal Kaimkaryam to the Lord(in Nitya Viboothi), free of afflictions we face in Leela Viboothi. Accordingly they would take on names of Para Vaasudevan, Divya Mahishis and Nityasooris and not names restricted to Leela Viboothis. So names are chosen with this realization. It is common knowledge that if we know someone very unpopular, we refrain from giving such a name to our near and dear for fear of reminding ourself of that personality(since in Samsaara, we often forget that calling the name, should make us think of the Divya Dhampthis). In a similar way Sri Vaishnavites choose names of the Supreme and those serving the Supreme with undivided attention eternally.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2001 Report Share Posted August 21, 2001 Namaskarams to all bhAgavatAs. My name is Srikanth and I am very curious about one thing which I would like to ask regarding this topic... As we all know, there is no topic in philosophy or bhakti on which our AchArya sArvabhouman Swami Desikan has not written... But I have not heard about any stotram he has written about Anjaneyar...He has written stotrams in praise of GarudAzhwAr, SudarSanAzhwAr and others... I am just curious as to why this might be the case... Or am I wrong? Please pardon me for any errors/apacArams. adiyen RAmAnuja dAsan, Srikanth - suderson ; Cc: Monday, August 20, 2001 11:50 AM Re: Thiruvadi Anantha pranAmam to bhAgavathAs.1.
