Dearest all,

 

Last verse- Amudhanaar said: with his enormous fame

and popularity, everyone came to know Acharya

saarvabhouman. In the whole world, his popularity grew

due to his unambiguous philosophy based on true

purport of Vedas; Now- he elaborates; explains why…

and how.

Because of Sri Ramanujacharya's such great nature of

mixing with all irrespective of their lowly nature

(like that of mine) with such sowseelya guNA, He had

brought the world great things as follows: Similar to

the blooming of fresh Lotus flowers when the Sun

rises, Vedic truths were established firmly and all

other six non vedic religions were simply crushed.

Vedas that describe the greatness of SarvEshwaran and

the manner in which the ArAdhana need to be performed

to the Sarveshawran, were feelings happy and excited

hearing the roars of Sri Ramanuja, against other

religions. ( " kaLippuRRathu is described by MaNavaaLa

maamuni as Garvam kOndathu- Vedas felt proud). The

most sweetest, Thiruvaaymozhi, the Tamil Veda, sung by

NammAzhwAr with great anubhavam and enjoyment grew

greatly by Sri Ramanuja's campaigning and the whole

world came to know of the greatness of Thiruvaaymozhi.

 

 

eettiya seelatthu – The most auspicious kalyANa guNAs

gathered in

iraamanusan than – Ramanujacharya’s

iyalvau kaNDae- seeing these guNAs [residing in him

since his birth];

maNN ulahil – on this earth

naattiya neesa mathangaL- other avaidika, non-vedic

religions established by others

naaraNanaik kaattiya vEdham kaLiputradhu- Vedas and

Upanishads that declare on the Parathvam of Sriman

NarayaNan have rejoiced now [that their fear [of

getting misinterpreted and distorted] is now gone;

then kuruhai vaLLal – The most benevolent Acharya

AzhwAr Satakopa [Nammazhwar] of Thirukkuruhoor

vattam illaa vaN thamizh maRai vaazhndhadhu- The

blemishless unparalleled Tamil Vedas- Thiruvaymozhi of

Nammaazhwar has hence survived..

 

neesac chamayangaL maaNdana- The avaidika religions

were crushed and destroyed. gAThA thAThAgathAnAm

galathi… thadhapi gurumatham gauravaath dhoorvaantham-

even when the most famous and popular ones get

destroyed where is the question of smaller ones and

less popular ones? All have accepted their defeat.

Vedas have been saved and their statements being

misinterpreted or distorted, ignoring some of their

statements for convenience are all no longer there and

hence Vedas are now pleased and happy. Vedas have

declared the unparalleled Supremacy of Sriman

Narayanan and even that is not understood well and

people talk about other demi gods on par with Him and

even higher… Vedas had feared that their Lord’s

position is at stake; Now that fear is gone. Sri

Ramanuja established the Parathvam of Sriman Narayanan

in unambiguous and crystal clear terms.

 

Veda VyAsar who had compiled all Vedas and Upanishads;

who has also blessed us with Brahma soothram, wherein

he ascertained the supremacy of Sriman Narayna in his

sUtram, and raised his hands above his head three

times and proclaimed that Sriman Narayna is the

Parathvam. (sathyam sathyam punas sathyam ....vedAs

saastrA param naasthi..na deivam kEsavaath param).

 

Maha Bharata states clearly " Na Vishnoh Paramo Deva: "

The terms Isana and Siva have been reconciled under

the Etymological meanings. Sage Vyasa says clearly

elsewhere, " After a very careful examination of all the

sacred tests ( ALODHYA SARVA SAASTRANI) AND AFTER

REPEATED INVESTIGATION into their purport, we come to

one obvious conclusion (Vichaarya cha puna: puna:,

Idam ekam sunishpannam ) , that the deity to be

mediated upon at all times is Narayana(DHEYEYO

NARAYANA: SADHA).

 

Essence of All SAstra-s, as nicely mentioned by SrImad

azhagiya singar:

 

1. Only SrIman-nArAyaNa & none other than

SrIman-nArAyaNa, is the Supreme Reality.

 

2. Only SrIman-nArAyaNa & none other than

SrIman-nArAyaNa, is the only Means to reaching the

only Supreme Reality, SrIman-nArAyaNa.

 

3. Serving SrIman nArAyaNa here as well as in

SrI-vaikuNTham (i.e. mOksham) is the only Supreme

Goal.

 

The Supreme Goal is to serve Sriman Narayana at all

times, in any condition, wherever the Divine Couple

is. It does not matter whether it is in Sri

Vaikuntham or not. Recall Sri Vedanta Desika's famous

words from Varadaraja Panchasat:

 

vaikuNTha-vAse'pi na me'bhilAsa:

I have no desire to even stay in Vaikuntha

 

The goal is then nitya-kainkaryam alone. It just so

happens that while embodied, there are continuous

obstacles to performing divine service. Since there

are no such obstacles in Parama-Padam, the state of

liberation, we ask for moksha. But this is only to

subserve the true goal of nitya-kainkaryam.

 

That's all there is to know!

 

What lovely dynamite packed great Truth!
