The Lord's Acharyan (ManavalaMaMunigal) - Part II

[Guest guest]

Humble Pranam to all Devotees:

 

======================================================

Lord Ranganatha taking Swami ManavalaMaMunigal as His Acharya.

======================================================

Background: This is Srirangam, Year: 1370 Lord Ranganatha (The lord

who was the Archa Vigraha for Brahma & all the Ikshvaku dynasty

including Lord Rama) had a few unfulfilled desires. (Our Lord is

deciding to have the avatara of Adishesha, Bhagavath Ramanuja as

Manavalmamuni)

 

Lord:- (As Tirukkurungudi Nambi) We have been a sishya of Swamy

Ramanuja and received the Rahasya upadesam

 

We also received the name Sri Vaishnava nambi.

But we are yet to give any Guru Dhakshina to Him.

 

Also, we have not listened and enjoyed the Vyakyanam of Thiruvaimozhi

by Swamy Nammazhwar when Nammpillai delivered it here.

We must fulfill both these desires now.

 

Background: Lord, Ranganahta has been listening to thiruvaimozhi

pasurams,(text) but wanted to hear the full commentary and enjoy the

explanations and anubhavams in Thiruvaimozhi Vyakyanam.

 

He decides to have the Avathara of Adisesha and Swamy Ramanuja,

as " Poiyilatha ManavalaMaMunigal " at Alwartirunagari where earlier

Nammazhvar descended. ManavalaMaMunigal called as Peria Jeer, born in

ippasi moolam, is the ocean of knowledge and devotion and has all the

ideal Acharya Gunas. So, He chose ManavalaMaMunigal to be His

Acharyan and teach HIM Thiruvaimozhi Vyakhyanam.

 

After ManavalaMaMunigal (MaMunigal) fully blossoms as an Acharya HE

decides to request Periya Jeeyar to fulfill his desire.

 

This is Srirangam, Year: 1432, On a Pavitra utsavam day, after the

procession Lord is seated in his Pavitra utsava Mantapam; Surrounded

by priests and other devotees.

 

MaMunigal comes with followers to offer Mangalasasanams.

 

MaMunigal had completed the Sribhashya kalakshepam before Ramanuja at

Sriperumbudur temple, and has been hailed as " Sentamizhum vadakalayum

tigazhnda nAvar " or in other words ubhayavedantacharyar.

 

Lord Ranganthaa Gives his Blessings and talks via the Archaka.

 

Archaka: It is perumal's wish that starting tomorrow, in our Periya

ThiruMantapam,

you start the discourses on Periyavankurugur nambi's Thiruvaimozhi

based on the Edu 36,000 Vyakyanam. To listen without any hindrance,

all the festivals would be cancelled for one year from today.

 

Edu 36,000 Vyakyanam was done by Nampillai, and documented by his

Sishya VadakkuThiruvedhi Pillai.

 

MaMunigal humbly Accepts LORD's command.

 

The following Day: Imagine this Glorious Scene.

Ananatha Azhwan (Adisesha), PeriyaThiruvadi (Garudazhwar),
