Q 1: Mamunigal - Who is he and Why should every being Know about HIM?

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

He is the Lord's Acharya (Swami ManavalaMamuni also known as VaraVara Muni)

 

The only Acharya to have had the unique opportunity of delivering drAviDa vEda

discourses

before Lord Ranganatha and Samskrita vedanta discourses before Sri

Ramanuja.

 

Hence, Ubhayavedantacarya as per the Lord and Sri Ramanuja.

 

He is the avatara of Adisesha and Swami Ramanuja.

 

Srisailesa Daya Patram is the only taniyan recognised as a mantram (that which

protects by invocation)

because it is the shlokam submitted by Lord Himself for his Acharya

(mAmunikaL).

Per our Lord's instructions, this thaniyan is to be recited at the

beginning and conclusion

of any divya prabandham recitation (akin to how the sacred Om is chanted

at the

beginning and ending for vEdic

recitations)
