Guest guest Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Srimathe Ramanujaya Namah Dear devotees, Jai Sri Krishna. I have one issue which i am keen to have some knowledge about. In Our dharma Sri Bhagavan and his associates periodicaly take form in the material world for the uplift of Jivas. One unfortunate feature of this beleif is that many wicked jivas take advantage of this belief and claim themselves as God, some examples include King Paundaraka in the Dwarapara Yuga (who claimed to be the real krishna) and Puttarpathi saibaba in this yuga. Our shastras fortunalty provide validification of The avatars so that we cannot be fooled. As we know by reading the shastras we have no doubt that Sri Rama and Sri Krishna are the Supreme lord himself. Now Sri Vaishnava sampradaya is 100% bonafide according to shrastras, i just wanted to know which shastras and authority provide us with the information that Sri Andal and Sri Ramanuja are Bhudevi avatara and Sesha avatara respectively. From what i have learned from their life events, is that both were very humble and never claimed to be anything other than servants of the lord. I cannot recall a time when Sri Andal or Guru Ramanuja displayed their divine personalities. So how do we know of there true identities???

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Shrimathe Ramanujaya Namaha: Dear Krishna Devotee! Adiyen with the blessings from both Sri Andal and Srimath Ramanujar, try to give some information to the questionnaire. The event which proved Srimath Ramanujar is avatara of Adishesha are: 1) Before the birth event of Srimath Ramanujar occur Sri Nammalwar who is in the "Acharya Paramparai" immediately after Sri VishvaksEnar, ordered his sishyA Madurakavi Alwar to boil Tamirabarani river water. When he boiled the water, he got a vigraham which is different from Nammalwar's image. Madurakavigal now enquired his acharya about the emergence of vigraham which is different in looks and structure from Nammalwar. Nammalwar informed Madurakavigal about the birth of new JagathAchAryar to this world who is going to change the entire world by his preachings and establishment of VisishtAdvaitam which is related to Veda sampandham (as told by Sri PErarulAlan to Srimath Ramanajuar through thirukkachi nambigal "Darisanam bEtha Evacha").Nammalwar explains this in "Pozhiga pozhiga pOittru valluir saapam...." thiruvaimozhi pasuram about the incidence that will happens after the birth of Srimad Ramanujar. Nammalwar instructs Madurakavigal that the vigraham is none other than "BavishyadAchAryar" who is Adisesha avataram. There is one slokam which explains that during a)Krutha yukam - he is Adiseshan b)ThrEtha yukam - Lakshmanan avataram c)Dwapara yukam - Balaraman avataram d)Kali yukam - Bavishyadi avataram During Ramanujar period, when sishyAs were reciting this slOkam, they got doubt about who is that "bavish yadi" which is mentioned in that slokam. Srimad Ramanujar called upon some close sishyAs and told that "HE is none other than the bavishyadAchAryar which is explained in that slokam" >From this its clear that Ramanujar is avatara of AdisEshan himself. Apart from this, the vaibhavam of Alavandar, Thiruk kottiyur nambigal, thiru-k-kachchi nambigal clearly explains that Srimad Ramanujar is avataram of AdisEshan. 2) Now the event where Srimad Ramanujar proved that he is avatara of Adiseshan and showed his divine personalities: ThondanUr is best example, where,when Srimad Ramanujar is moving towards ThiruNarayanpuram due to some problems at SriRangam, a group of 1000 Jains approached Srimad Ramanujar for defeating in his philosophy of VishitAdvaitam. Srimad Ramanujar asked to put a curtain between them, the group of peoples who came for debate and him. He took his divine avatar as thousand headed Adiseshan and answered all questions at the same time. After this event most of the peoples from that group surrenderd his divine feet which is a well-known event for every Sri vaishnavite. 3) Vaibhavam of Sri Andal itself clearly tells that she is avataram of Boomi PiraAttiyAr. For this, no need to refer any sashtrAs. Vaibhavam is the authority which is accepted by our PoorvAchAryars. Desikan's "Bhoo Sthuthi", which clearly explains that Sri Andal is avataram of Bhoomi PirAttiyAr. The birth of Sri Andal in Thulsi itself clearly shows that she is the divine personality. The title "Soodik koduththa naachiyAr" clearly shows that she is divine personality. Emperuman will adorn the flowers which is worn by Sri Andal only - A great vaibhavam which is unique for HER only. Swmain next question is >From what i have > learned from their life events, is that both were > very humble and > never claimed to be anything other than servants of > the lord. Not only Sri Andal and Srimad Ramanujar can never claimed to be anything other than servants of the lord. All the chith and achitth are servants of the lord. Only HE can tell that HE is sarvarakshakan during HIS avataram as in Sri Ramayanam and Mahabaratam. All others except HIM, has to say that they are servants of HIM only. Nobody can claim anything other than this!!! (Infact this is one of the gnanam that a Vaishnavite has to receive from Acharyan during ManthrOpadesam). Adiyen hopes that, the above explanation is appropriate If there is any mistake, adiyen appologizes for that.
