Excerpts from the last upanyasam (avatarikai - introduction)

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

Last month Sri MAV Swamy gave a fantastic introduction to this very important

gadyam. Swamy explained the speciality of Swamy Ramanuja composing this and

offering it to the Lotus feet of the Divya Dampathi on Panguni Serthi Tiru-naal

in Srirangam. He also went into the concept of Sharanagati as discussed by are

Poorvacharyas and made it clear that the process of Samashrayanam/or/Sharanagati

is only an angi (part of the actual concept) and not the means itself. Anything

other than the Lord is not to be taken as the means to reach the goal (which is

the Lord Himself).
