Humble Pranams to all devotees:

Thought provoking quiz for Intermediate level:

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

Do we Know? Why is Swami addressed as Emberumanar?

(Emberuman means LORD)

1. Swami Emberumanar and Mamunigal both are considered Adisesha

Avatharas,

Swami in all the temples never has Adisesha as a

Asanam,

but Mamunigal in all temeples has Adisesha as

Asanam?

Why is this so? Do we

Know?

2. Swami Emberumanar graces us with a Anjali Mudra (Looks like doing

Namaskaram), in many temples.

In some temples Swami has Upadesa mudra?

Where does Swami have

Upadesa Mudra and why?

(who is he giving Upadesa to?)

Why is this so? Do we

Know?

3. In Thirumalai, The Hundi is in front of Emberumanar (Not in front

of

Srinivasa Perumal).

Why is this so? Do we

Know?

 

4. Did Ramanuja become the teacher to the LORD himself?

5. Which Dhivya Desams show us that Lord learns from Sri

Ramanuja?

(Does the Lord need to learn

from Swami Ramanuja?

Does he not know evreything?)

6. At one Dhivya Desam, The Lord feels he did not give a

Acharya

Sambhavanai to Swami Ramanuja. What is background behind this?

7. Acharyas say Emberumanar Sambhadam gets us Moksham.

How is this so? Do we

Know?

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

We normally just say Periyavas say so, and that's how we follow,

but there are justified reasons and explanations (full of

anubhavams)

Lets discuss them and try to learn a little from the ocean of knowledge

in our sampradaya.
