[Guest guest]

SrI:

 

Today is the Thrunakshathram of Upanishad BhAshyakArar ,

Who was born at VeLAmUr in Tamil Naadu .Srimathy Usha

Narasimhan of Bangalore sent me a note on Upanishad

BhAshyakArar today. I am sending that note by seperate mail

and thank her for reminding us all about the signiifcance of

this day . Our Thnaks are to Smt. Usha Narasimhan for reminding

us about the importance of this day .

 

Sri Ranga Ramanuja Muni was given this title of Upanishad BhAshyakArar

by SrivilliputthUr ANDAL . Sri RanganAtha Mun i has written Sixty

SrI Sookthis on our Bhagavad RaamAnuja SiddhAntham . Some of them

are described in the URL given below .

 

The most important among them for VedAbhimAnis and VaidhikAs

are the Commentaries for DasOpanishads used by AchArya RaamAnuja

in His Sri BhAshyam .

 

He became a SanyAsi and stayed at ThUppul /ThirutthaNkaa Temple of

Sri Maragathavalli SamEtha Sri Dheepa PrakAsa PerumAL Until His

ascent to Parama Padham .

 

Upanishad BhAshyakArar ( Sri Ranga RaamAnuja Muni of 16th Century )

was a contemproary of MahAchArya ( DhoddAchArya of GaDikai dhivya

dEsam ) and Panchamata Bhanjana Taata Desikan , who Himself

was a sishyar of the HH the 6th pattam Ahobila Matam Jeeyar ,

Shashta ParAnkusa YathIndhra MahA Desikan .

 

The Vaibhavam of Upanishad BhAshyakArar is covered in a 2002

posting of mine released during the occasion of release of the Commentary in

English of Upanishad BhAshyakArar's original work in Sanskrit by

U.Ve . Dr.N.S.AnantarangAcchAr Swamy of Bangalore . That 2002

posting's URL is provided below :

But for Upanishad BhAshyakArar's sampradhAyic commentary ,

we would have been at a loss to understand the uniqueness of

Bhagavad RaamAnujA's ThiruvuLLam , when it came to the VisishtAdhvaidhic

intrepretation of the meanings of Upanishads .

 

On this important day , we prostrate before the prolific genius of

Upanishad BHAshyakArar and HIs Kaimkaryam to the growth of

our SampradhAyam in its pristine form .
