There is no way in which the sishyas can repay the Acharyan for his great help .Even  the God canot describe the right way to repay his acharyan for this great help.The only way sishyas can do is to meditate on his acharyas glories and praise him. All these attempts of eulogizing their acharya Will never compensate , for the abundant help that they received from their acharya† Tanian  represents  Our involvement , our sincerity, our duty, and our respect towards our Acharya. Acharyas are many  And Tanians are also many. Depending upon the Acharya Parampara, tanians will also differ.There may be two tanians for the same Acharya depending upon  their vaibhavam.A tanian may be small or big but have the same respect.The greatness of the Tanian can really be understood only by the those, who have “ Acharya sambandhamâ€.It is essential one should learn and recite the Tanian of his Acharya everyday and be blessed. There are Tanians for  Vedhantha rahasya granthAs also. Only after recitation of the Tanian, one can undergo the Vedhantha Kalalshepam of the Grantha .  In all Sri Vaishnava institutions like Srimath Andavan Ashramam and Sri Ahobila mutt, Parakala mutt etc. Tanians of poorvacharyas are being recited everyday.  Srimad Andavan Thiruvadi (Nagai ) P.Sreenivasan of Besant nagar M 85/5 II cross street - Chennai 90  On Mon, Feb 8, 2010 at 4:30 PM, Kesavan Srinivasan <asv_kesavan wrote:  [Attachment(s) from Kesavan Srinivasan included below] Dear Dri Vasudevan,  Everytime when we have one of our Great Acharyan Thirunakshatram (Varusha Thirunakshatram), then we get the Thaniyan along with the Meaning of the Acharyan from Ramanuja Misson (thanks to Shyam and Venkat Srinivasan on the same). I have compiled four of those Thaniyans with meanings. Attaching the same for your reference. Will complete all the other Acharyans and send you the same as well.  Devar want to pass on the Thaniyan of your Acharyan to someone who has done their Samasyanam and Bharanyasam with the same Acharyan or wat. We can pass the Thaniyan not an issue but the only thing is to ensure it reaches safe hands and it is shared with someone who uses the Thaniyan and recites it with utmost care and Bhakthi. If that is ensured then dont think its wrong to pass the Thaniyan of our Greatest Acharyan's. If you want we have the list of Thaniyans Published as a small Booklet in our Ashramam and you can collect the same as well.  Dasan, ASV.Kesavan   vaasudevan srinivasan <svaasudevanandavan Sat, 6 February, 2010 10:21:46 PM Dhaniyan Srimathe Ranga Ramanuja Mahadesikaya NamahaCan anyone describe what exactly DHANIYAN means & canwe quote our acharyan Dhaniyan (from whom we hadSamasrayanam & Baranyasam) in any document & give to others.
