The tale of two Taniyans

[Guest guest]

Dear bhaktas:

 

A marvellous account indeed, by Sri Dileepan. And very

befitting, given all the cross-fire that ensued recently.

One must be as forthcoming with the truth, as one is

critical of untruth. Satyam vada is after all, *before*

dharmam chara. It is as much a crime to not proclaim

the truth aloud, as it is to speak a lie.

 

For some more detail about Srimad triteeya brahmatantra

svatantra parakAla mahAdeSikan, please see:

 

http://www.parakalamatham.org/jeers/jeer3.shtml

 

At the time of triteeya parakAlaswAmi's ascent to Sri

VaikunTham (1406 C.E.) - azhagiya maNavALa perumAL (later

to become maNavALa mahAmuni) was a young householder who

had not yet headed north to Srirangam (from his birth

place in AzhwAr thirunagari), or taken up sanyAsam.

 

Clearly, the moovayirappadi GPP is a document dating at

least one century prior to the yatIndra pravaNa prabhAvam -

which states that the thaniyan of maNavALa mAmunigaL was

uttered during the year 1430 C.E.

 

The reinstatement of thiruvadhyaya utsavam by Swami deSikan,

and the divine command of periya perumAL re: the chanting

of rAmAnuja dayA pAtram in ALL SriVaishnava homes and kovils

(as per moovayirappadi GPP) occurred around 1360 C.E., more

than two generations prior to the emergence of maNavALa

mAmunigaL's thaniyan.

 

Just for the record. If any discussion/disagreement, kindly

keep it offline from malolan net and restricted to individual

correspondence.
