SrImathE Ramanujaya namah:

 

Dearest all,

 

Let those who cast doubts and are suspicious be so; It

is we who are blessed indeed to be the servant and

dAsa bhuthars of Ramanuja’s sishyas; servant of the

God of Ramanuja, i.e. Sri Ranganthan and the eternal

servant of Paramacharyan Sri Ramanuja.- Amudhanaar

enjoys in few verses.

I, shall always serve, wholeheartedly and

uninterruptedly, with no gap, at all times, under all

circumstances, with my words, with my actions and with

my thoughts, in all situations,- those Bhagawathas who

always think of the graceful nature of other dearest

Srivaishnava Bhagawathas who have desired to praise

and utter the glorious divine names of Sri

Ramanujacharya at all times.

 

nallaar – those who shine with jnAna vairAgya

anushtAnams

paravum- praise

iraamaanusan- Ramanujacharya [His]

thirunaamam- divine names and the glories

namba vallaar thiRatthai – believe due to their jnAnam

and their [such greatest bhAgwathas and sishyas’]

deeds

yavar maRavaadhavargaL- whoever keeps contemplating

and enjoys

avarkkE- for those dAsa bhoothars and bhAgawathAs

alone

ellaa idatthilum – in all places

enRum- at all times

e pOdhilum- even when they do not look for or expect

[or even when they reject or refuse to accept]

e thozhumbum- all kids of kaimkaryam [service]

sollaal manatthaal karumatthinaal- in speech, thought

and actions [manas, vaak and kaayam]

sOrvu anRi- without getting tired or without any gap

due to laziness

seyvan- will perform

 

The moment the prathivaadhis [other religion personnel

who argue] hear the name Ramanuja they start

disappearing from the scene. The same is mentioned by

Swami Desikan in 51st verse of YathirAja Saptathi-

vikalpAdOpEna sruthipathamasEsham … kalaha:

 

Capricious carping based on fallacious reasoning is

the way for some contestants. They tend to cross

question everything, pointing out an alternative

possibility for every thesis, even if it is

unreasonable. By such humbugs, they tend to pollute

and confuse the Vedic path. The annoying noise of

these wild elephants will die the moment the name of

Ramanuja is announced.

 

Like Narayana saranagathi manthra, Ramanuja

saranagathi manthram is also equally powerful, if not

more. Thus EmperumAnAr Thirunaamam grants everything

to us.

 

As posted by Sri Sampath Rengarajan Swami: Since Sri

rAmAnujar is the pradhAna AchAryAL for all

SriviashnavaLs, chanting his thiru nAmam and

thinking of his thiruvadi itself is considered as

pradhAna manthram and yAgam. Sri thiru arangatthu

amudhanAr delivered this anthAthi in such a way that

each and every pAsuram has the " mantrhram " or

manthrA embedded in it. Such manthram is none other

than the thiru namAm of our pradhAna AchAryAn Sri

irAmanusar. ie the name " irAmAnusan " is placed in each

and every pasuram and for a total of 108 times.

 

Many slOkams have the beeja aksharams embedded in it

as similar to being hard coded. Some examples are

Sri Hayagreeva slOkam, Sri Garuda panchAsat and so on.

Since some of the beeja manthrams are not advisable

to be chanted by everyone these are embedded by our

poorvA chAryALs in slOkams that everyone can chant and

derive the palans of chanting these beeja

aksharams. In the same way,

" SrimathE rAmAnujAya namaha " is embedded in each

pAsuram and so for 108 times. Those who can recite

this anthAthi gets the fruits of chanting the pradhAna

AchAryA thaniyan 108 times. Thus it is

also known or called as prapanna sAvithri.

 

In Sri visnu purAnam it is said that during

kaliyugam mere doing nAma japam will itself lead one

to mOksham. It is understood that such chanting

will lead one to doing saranAgathi through a

sadhAchAryAL. The reference to nAma japam in Sri

Vishnu purAnam can be considered as a direct

reference to chanting irAmAnuja nooRRu anthAthi. The

name " rAmA " and " anujA " has the " rAma "

saptham in it. Every one knows the power our Sri

rAma nAmam. In addition to it this name also has anujA

in it. anuja is generally meant as younger brother.

Since an younger brother is a dAsan to

elder brother (here it is empurumAn Sri rAmA is the

elder brother) the combined word also means the one is

a dAsan to Sri rAmA. Thus the word rAmAnuja itself

becomes a secret code or manthra for

everyone. It is all the more important for prapannAs

as it is the thiru nAmam of the most revered

AchAryAn. All our AchAryAs in Srivaishnavam recited

their AchAryA's thaniyan during their last

breath. Thus, reciting AchAryA thanian is so

important and is sAvithri or the pradhAna manthram for

a prapannA [Thanks to Sri Sampath Rengi for his sweet

write up]
