SRIMATHE RAMANUJAYA NAMAHA:

RAMANUJA IN THIRUPPAVAI – Sri V P S Varadan

 

Throughout the centuries, our AchAryas have provided us with several authentic

interpretations on the inner meaning of these beautiful thirty verses.

One unique interpretation is from the perspective of AchAryaparam, in which it

is understood that each of Sri AndAl's stanzas praised the glory

and qualities of the AchArya and the benefits which will accrue to jIvas due to

his grace.

 

It is also clear that since all AchAryas of the SriVaishnava faith regard

themselves only to be servants to the Lotus Feet of Sri Ramanuja,

the noble word 'AchArya' can be taken to refer to Bhagavad Sri Ramanuja himself.

 

It should be noted that the although the time that AndAl lived on earth was

several centuries before Sri Ramanuja, her experience of the Divine was such

that it not only conveyed her love and devotion to the Lord, but also the

expectation that He would one day bless the earth with such a Great Soul.

 

The renowned scholar and vidwAn of KanchIpuram, Sri PrativAdi BhAyankaram

Annangarachariar Swamy, has interpreted the entire

ThiruppAvai from this perspective of praising the glory of Acharya.

 

The discourse is based on this work by Sri PBA Swami.
