Iraamaanusa nooRRanthAthi- 69th verse- what Lord could not achieve, Ramanuja could!

[Guest guest]

SrI:

SrImathE Ramanujaya namah:

 

Dearest all,

 

KaNNan blessed us with GiTA saasthrA only for the sake

of everyone. When such is the case why did Ramanuja

alone interpret in the right manner and crystal

clearer manner? Amudhanaar replies in different

manner: when the Lord grants us all the sense organs,

buddhi and manas for everyone to get saved. Though

this is the case, why did I not realize this earlier

and I was saved only after Ramanuja came on his own

accord to save me! I had never ever realized the means

before.

SarvEshwaran Sriya:Pathi Sriman Naryanan, out of His

own grace and upakaaram, blesses us (the dormat ones)

before the creation, with the requisites (karaNa~ngaL)

to become the living souls. But He did not grant us

the " saraNa~ngaL " the Lotus feet. But My Father- Sri

Ramanujacharya, Emperumaanaar- in order to save me

from this samsaara saagaram- the Great PraLayam-

blessed me today and showed me with the Lotus feet of

his (Sri Ramanuja's) as the means. What an upakaaram!

 

mun naaL – during the praLayam [dissolution]

chinthaiyOdu karaNangaL yaavum- the senses, mind and

buddhi

sidhanidhu – destroyed;

andham uRRu aazndhadhu kaNdu- jeevathmas were lying

dormant

avai anRu- [those senses, mind and buddhi that day]

en thanakku- have been granted to me by

thandha arangan- Sri Rangan Himself and He too

than saraN thandhilan- did not grant His Lotus Feet as

the means to me.

Enthai- My father Sri Ramanuja alone

Adhu thandhu – on his own accord came to me to show

them and grant those feet

inRu vandhu ennai yedutthanan- in this birth saved me

then and there.

 

Though the limbs, senses, mind and buddhi were granted

to me, they were the hurdles and unless these hurdles

are removed, the purpose for which these were given to

us, will not be served. But if one removes these

hurdles and saves, it is certainly a grand thing. Thus

though GiTA was blessed by KaNNan, it was wrongly

interpreted and the fruits could not be obtained for

which the GiTA was born. After Sri Ramanuja’s clear

GitA bhAshyam, everyone is now able to comprehend the

gitA’s inner meanings. That is the greatness of Our

Sri Ramanuja.

 

The summary and essence of GitA: [from GitArtha

sangraham]

 

Karumamum jnAnamun koNdu yezhun kaadhaluku Orilakku

The Lord, who acted as the Charioteer for Arjuna,

Himself taught him [Arjuna] who was desirous of

Knowing the righteousness: That only Thirumaal [sriman

Narayanan] manifesting with ThirumaGl [sri

Mahalakshmi], the Supreme Soul, difficult of

attainment, praised and explained by Vedantha

difficult to be understood,

 

Is the only target [of attainment] through bhakti

yogam [path based on bhakti ceaselessly and

uninterruptedly] which is practised with [preceded by

adherence to KarmaYogam ] path based on performance of

prescribed deeds] and jnAna yogam [path based on

wisdom and enjoyment of the Soul].
