SrImathE Ramanujaya namah:

 

Dearest all,

 

Pramaathaas, pramaaNam, pramEyam – all three due to

the association with the Lord are to be respected- and

that is what Ramanuja used to and immerses himself and

enjoys them- says Amudhanaar.

Emperumaanaar- Sri Ramanujacharya- the One who shines

with the greatest KalyANA guNAs, who preaches the

Athma guNAs to everyone with no bias / partiality,

(such a udhaara seelar is he), who is the Chief of our

Srivaishnava kulam, - enters the following places with

great happiness and joy: where there is a congregation

of Scholars or jn~Anis of Srivaishnavam; where there

is a recitation of Thiruvaaymozhi takes place; and

where the SavEshwaran Sriya:Pathi Sriman Narayanan,

out of His own and free will, stays permanently (along

with Periya PiraaTTi Sri MahAlakshmi residing in His

Beautiful Chest forever ) in the archAvathaaram in Sri

Vaishnava Divya dEsams

 

PramANam , PramEyam and PramAthA are of three kinds.

Vedam, Smruthi , PurANam , IthihAsam, dhivya

prabhnadhams, Brahma soothram are PramANams. Lord

Sriman NaarAyaNan in Parama padham, vyUham, Vibhavam ,

Archai and antharyAmi are PramEyams. AchAryAs like

Naathamuni are PramAthAs. Similarly , Rahasya thrayams

(The three manthrams) are PramANams; PerumAL is

PramEyam;the AchAryan initiating us into these

manthrams is PramAthA.

 

Had Ramanuja not entered, the pramaaNams [saasthric

proofs] would not have survived. They would gone to

extinction. The Lord along with PiraaTTi would have

gone out of the world, as there is no guNam; nor any

roopam. The scholars thus are able to comprehend the

real truth of Ramanuja’s doctrine; the vedic relevance

of it and hence all became mey~jnAnis.

 

Therefore, the jnAnis, the Lord with PiraaTTi, the

Vedas, the archA moorthys- everyone survived- thanks

to Ramanujacharya. All of them are now indebted to

Ramanuja. So, we are greatly indebted to him; aren't

we?
