SrI:Dear All,http://www.pbase.com/svami/darshanamWith our SrI. L.Sridhar's hardwork, we have got some wonderful & rarepictures from various divyadesams.As the pictures of Acharyas and divyadampathi are from variousdivyadesams, we had to create a new and SPECIAL gallery to arrangethese pictures.1. The first section in this new gallery is on the 3 munigaL ofSrivaishnava darshanam.2. The second Gallery is on SrI Hayagrivar.3. The third one which will be uploaded very shortly (and you'll benotified) is on Periya PirATTi.Our Sincere thanks to SrI. L.Sridhar (sridharasrinivasan). The picture of SrI. Ramanuja of Thondanur is reproduced in the 'MummunigaL' Gallery again and a special note from SrI Vanamamalai Padmanabhan svami(aazhwar) on that picture is given hereunder.-Ramanuja Dasargal----Dear Sridhar svAmi, There is nothing much I can add from Guruparampara as you have alreadyadded this.The summary is as follows:The king of that region viTTala dhEvarAyan. His daughter was affectedmy mental illness .Sri ThoNdanUr Nambi on finding this requsted Sri RAmAnuja to visit thepalace.After several requests Udayavar entered the palace and blessedher with His srEpAdha thErtham and she got cured and was restored with sanity.The king and his queen surrendered at the feet of EmperumAnar andbecame His disciples. He as given a sreAvishNavite name 'VishNu vardhan'.On hearing this, the jains who were the king's erstwhile guru-s, became angry.They challenged that he should win over them in an argument and then only take them as his disciples.About 12000 jains came for argument simulataneoulsy. Sri RamAnuja was a bit perturbed because now He had to reveal who He was. He sat behind a screen in the form of 1000 headed Adhi-SEshan andgave multiple replies from behind the screen and won over them. Someof them became his disciples.This great event took place in thoNdanUr at the altars of nrshmhasvAmi sannidhi and here is the wonderful rare picture ofudayavar/AdhisEshan.Thanks to Sri Lakshmi Narasimhan sridhar svami.dAsanvanamamalai padmanabhan
