[Guest guest]

SrI:

 

Dear SishyAs and AbhimAnis of Sri Matam :

 

AdiyEn will be starting a series of articles on

Bhagavad Vishayam today to celebrate

the upcoming 82nd Thiru Nakshatra

Utsavam of HH Srimad Azhagiya Singar

at Chennai on December 7 , 2009 .

 

Bhagavad Vishayam is a KaalkshEpa Grantham.

It is one of the four ( Grantha ChAtushtyam)

recommended for study ( KaalakshEpam) under

AchAryan's sacred feet .

 

Bhagavad Vishayam is about Swamy NammAzhwAr's

ThiruvAimozhi . It is known as 6,000 padi and consists

of six thousand units of length known as Padi . This is

the first commentary of ThiruvAimozhi in MaNipravALam.

 

Bhagavad Vishayam was assigned for

commentary by AchArya RaamAnuja

(1017-1137 C.E) to His dear disciple ( Jn~Ana Putran ) ,

ThirukkurukkEsar ( Thirukkurhai PirAn PiLLAn) ,

the second son of Periya Thirumalai Nambi ,

the uncle of AchArya RaamAnujA .

 

KurukkEsar was born during a Srimukha

Samvatsara Iyppasi day , when PoorvAshAda

Nakshatram was in ascendance . He belonged

to Shadamarshana gOtram of AchArya Naatha

Muni .

 

KurukkEsar's education was entrusted by

Periya Thirumalai Nambi to his nephew ,

AchArya RaamAnujA . KurukkEsar was

appointed as Ubhya SimhAsanAdhipathi

by AchArya RaamAnuja , which was a rare

distinction among the 74 SrI BhAshya

SimhAsanAdhipatis selected by AchArya

RaamAnuja . KurukkEsar was commissioned

to teach and propagate both Sri BhAshyam

and ThiruvAimozhi . KurukkEsar composed and

presented " Bhagavad Vishayam " to AchArya

RaamAnuja , who ordered that it should

serve as a KaalkshEpa grantam from then on.

 

KurukkEsar's sishyar was YengaLAzhwAn of

ThiruveLLaRai ( 1106-1197C.E ), the author of

the commentary on VishNu PurANam ( VishNu

chitteeyam) . His sishyar was NadAthUr AmmAL

( 1165-1275) of Srivatsa Gotram , whose grandson

was GadikAsatam AmmAL ; latter was the AchAryan

of the Founding Jeeyar of Ahobila Matam ,

Sri Adhi VaNN SaThakOpa Yatheendhra

MahA DEsikan .

 

NadAthUr AmmAL's sishyar was AtrEya

RaamAnujar, the uncle and AchArya of

Swamy NigamAntha Mahaa Desikan .

One of the SrI Sooktis of Swamy Desikan

is Taatparya RatnaavaLi , the celebration of

the 1,000 kalyANa guNams of Sriman

NaarAyaNan as celebrated by Swami

NammAzhwAr in His ThiruvAimozhi and is

therefore related to Bhagavad Vishayam .

Bhagavad Vishayam/Taatparya RatnAvaLi

of you to participate in this Ubhaya VedAntha
