Regarding Bhagwad Gita

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

I have a doubt regarding Bhagawad Gita.

I Don't find any reference saying that Bhagawad Gita was told

By Lord Krishna in Our Azhwars

'Divya Prabhandam' expect one place in 'Ramanusa Nutruandhadi' .

Does this mean that Only after Emperumanar 'Bhagawad Gita' was

told with Vishitadwaitam's approach?

 

That means Even our azhwars thought it to be different and

didn't give a reference in their verses?

 

Dasan,

KattumannarKoil Kumandur ilayavilli sriraman.

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

Ans. from Sri Velukkudi Swmai :

 

There is ofcourse a reference in alwars pasurams about bhagavat gita.

Tirumazhisai alwar in his nanmukan tiruvandadi 71st song mentions this :

 

sEyan aNiyan siriyan migapperian, Ayan tuvaraikkOnAi ninra mAyan anrOdiya

vAkkadanakkallAr ulagattil EdilarAi meignanamil.

 

It is so clearly mentioned that Ayan the idayan, who was the king of dwaraka,

anru - on the day of kurukshetra war and arjuna was confused, odiya vakku -

gita.

All our purvacaryas have opined that alwars were so fond of gita.

There are many more references like this.

 

Why gita ? Every about visistadvaitam.

Ramanuja never discovered visistadvaitam.

He only wanted to bring to light the right philosophy of vedanta.

So visistadvaita is not only as old as alwars but as old as vedas themselves.

Swamy Manavala mamunigal says " emperumanar valartha anda seyal arigaikka

" and not " emperumanar kandupiditta anda seyal arigaikka "

 

Poliga Poliga Poliga

Alwar Emberumanar jeer tiruvadigale saranam.

 

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

I have a humble request to the members of the group.

If you have a genuine doubt kindly go ahead and ask them.

Approach your doubt with an open mind and wait for people to answer.

But before getting the answer to it and enquiring fully on your doubt,

let us restrain ouselves from passing our doubts as final comments on that

subject.
