Guest guest Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 Sri:Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama: Dhati Panchakam - IntroductionBased on Sri P.B. Annangaracharyar Swami's Commentary Dhati Panchakam speaks of the victory of Ramanuja over other philosophies - both those that accept Vedas and those that don't - and his establishing the Visishtadvaita philosohpy that was built by Azhvars and Purvacharyas.As the name shows it is made of five shlokas. The word dhATI means "attacking" - as this work shows the attack that Ramanuja carried over theother philosophies that were widespread at that time, it is an appropriatename for it.There are some who believe that the entire work was written by SwamiKooraththazhvan. While others believe that it was written by several disciples of Swami Ramanuja such as Kooraththazhvan, Mudhaliyandan, Embarand others. In either case, this work has been celebrated by our acharyasand has been included as part of Srivaishnava nithyanusandhanam.This work as well as Ramanuja Chatusshloki - which was authored by anotherof Ramanuja's disciples, Thirumalai Anandazhavan - describe the triumphsof Ramanuja over other philosophies.
