[sri ramanuja] Varadha PrasAdham – III

[Guest guest]

Dear BhAgavathAs,

 

Sri NampiLLai's thiruavathAra uTsavams is going to be celebrated on

4th-Dec the same day of Thirumangai Azhwar's thiruavathAra day.

Vadakkuth-th-thiruveedhi piLLai is one of great sishyA of Sri NampiLLai.

 

When Vadakkuth-th-thiruveedhi piLLai was doing nithya kainkaryam to

the lotus feet of his achAryar Sri NampiLLai, his mother named Ammi

complained to Sri NampiLLai that, her son is not interested in

gruhasta life and appealed Sri NampiLLai to advice him, so that his

gn~Anam would be transferred to his descendents. Sri NampiLLai ordered

Ammi to bring Vadakkuth-th-thiruveedhi piLLai and blessed him to enter

into gruhasta life. Through achArya's bless, Vadakkuth-th-thiruveedhi

piLLai presented a santhAnam to Sri Vaishnava sampradhAyam named Sri

PiLLai lOkAchAryar.

 

Sri piLLai lOkAchAryar was born to Vadakkuth-th-thiruveedhi piLLai

through the bless from NambUr VaradhAchAryar alais Sri NampiLLai. This

is AchAryar Varadha PrasAdham. Another Varadha PrasAdham is by Lord

PerarulAlan himself. We know, PiLLai lOkAchAryar is avatAram of Kanchi

PerarulAlan. Hence PiLLai lOkAchAryar is said to be "Varadha Dwaya

PrasAdham"

 

One Varadhar – NambUr VardhAchAryar (Carama parva AchAryan)

Another Varadhar – Kaanchi DevapperumAl (Pradhama parva AchAryan)

 

So, Lord DevaperumAl at thiru-k-kachchi is said to be PerarulAlan as

HE is famous for HIS boons showered to our SampradhAyam and to HIS

adiyArs - "arTithArTa paridhAna dhIkshithan"

 

"dhEvAdhi dhEvanai chenRU nAm sEvithAl

AvAvendru ArAinthu arul"

 

adiyEn,
