========================================

Sri Sri Tridandi Sriman Narayana Ramanuja Jeeyar Swami Thirunakshatram - This

FRIDAY

Friday, Nov 12th, 2004

========================================

Friendly reminder:

Adiyen would request the devotees of

HH Sri Sri Tridandi Sriman Narayana Ramanuja Jeeyar Swami

to please start planning for ChinnaJeeyar Swami Thirunakshatram celebration

in your local area, homes and communities.

 

We all love and respect HH ChinnaJeeyar Swami,

one of the basic things we do for our Acharya is to celebrate his

Thirunakshatram and spread his message to every devotee of the LORD.

 

We understand many of us are busy in this samsara, and have little or no time.

But we have to make some time towards this real purpose of LIFE.

 

Humble request to each devotee to plan and celebrate Acharya TN

in your local area. You may want to look for others who may be interested in

celebrating with you and your family.

 

 

What should a sishya do, This was taught by Lord Ranganahta?

 

========================================

Qualities of a Sishya - Taught by Lord Ranganatha.

========================================

=========================================

About 570 years ago Lord Ranganatha taught the Five Primary qualities of

Sishsya,

Lord is still practicing these qualities today in Srirangam:

======================================

1. Sishya should make/chant Acharya thanian

======================================

Tanian: a sloka describing the qualities (glory) of one's Acharya.

 

Lord Ranaganatha has made a thanian to HIS Acharaya swamy Manavalamamuni.

 

"Srisailesa daya patram, dhibhakthyadi gunarnavam,

yatindra pravanam vande, ramya jamatharam munim ||

 

Hence this thanian has its own importance in Sri Vaishnava sampradhaya.

 

=======================

2. Sishya's responsibility:

=======================

Spread Acharya's name and message to

every corner of the world, keeping the manthra in his heart.

 

Lord Ranganatha has instructed and sent Ordinance,(pattOlai)

to all divyadesams to recite His acharya thanian

at the begining and end of Divyaprabhandham.

 

It is still in practice in almost all of the divyadesams.

====================================================

3. Sishya should surrender his wealth to Acharaya's Lotus Feet (thiruvadi)

====================================================

Adisesha is considered as wealth for LORD Sriman Narayanan.

This one we can see from "sendraal kudaiyam, irundaal singaasanamam..."

 

Lord Ranganatha has offered his entire wealth to his

Acharaya Swamy Manavalamamuni.

Hence swamy Manavalamamuni is seated in Adisesha.

 

Even though Swamy Ramanuja and Swamy Manavalamamuni are

avatharam of Adisesha, we always see Swamy Manavalamamuni

(Archa Vigraha, or Pictures etc) seated in Adisesha because of this reason.

Lord Sriman Narayanan has offered his seat Adisesha to Swamy Manavalamamuni.

=============================================

4. Sishya should have his Acharaya's name with his name:

=============================================

Swamy Manavalamamuni took sanyasam from Satakopa Jeeyar

who is also desciple of Swamy Thiruvaimozhipillai (as per Yathindrapravana

Prabhavam).

Hence Swami Mamuni wanted to change his name to Satakopa after his sanyasam.

But Lord Ranganatha appears in front of him and instructs NOT to

change his original name Azhagiya Manavalan.

 

Initially nobody understood why Lord Ranganatha has

instructed Mamunigal nto to change his name.

This is understood later as Lord Ranganatha wants to take

svami Mamunigal as his own Acharaya. (Lord Ranganatha is know to all as Azhagiya

Manavalan)

 

=========================================================

5. Sishya should celebrate his acharaya's thirunakshathiram (Birth day) and

thirtha Naal (annual ceremony):

=========================================================

Even to this day, Lord Ranganatha is still celebrating his

Acharaya thirunakshathiram and Theertha Naal.

Lord Ranganatha sends all His prasadam to Swamy Mamunigal sannidhi and

Lord Ranganahta's Archaka is doing thirumanjanam and thiruvaradanam to

swami Mamunigal on these two days.

Lord does not take beteal leaves and nuts etc., surulamuthu

(Vaetrilai and paaku) on his acharaya's theetha Naal.

=======================================================

Jai SreemanNarayana!

 

Please print out and read this to your family members.

==================================================

Friendly Reminder:

Adiyen would request devotees to celebrate our Acharya Thirunakshatram

By talking about his Glory and spreading his message to friends and family.
