SrImathE Ramanujaya namah:

 

Dearest all,

 

Sri Ramanuja had changed the puja rituals and

streamlined the temple functions and in that

Ranganthan temple, he asked me to do the pooja as

Chief priest. What a great quality to change me within

no time and place me at this level! His keerthi is

amazing but true.

I,-who was deeply engrossed in the cruel karma

vaasanaas, who had not even an iota of jnAnam, who was

never steady in a particular thing and was having a

vacillating mind, - was gently corrected by

Emperumaanaar Sri Ramanuja. What did to me is: Within

a fraction of a second, He made me a great recipient

and listener of His Esoteric Truths and He stood

victoriously on the earth. Thus, the literate,

scholars, Srivaishnavas, illiterate, and people from

all walks of life approach Him and praise Him for His

greatest most auspicious attributes. He possesses such

Great kalyANa guNAs. He is like the rainy dark clouds

that rain everywhere without any partiality; He

showers His grace to one and all!

therivu uRRa – the clearer

jnAnam- knowledge on tattva, hitha purusharttham and

kaimkaryams

seRiya peRaadhu- with half baked knowledge

vem thee vinaiyaal- due to cruel incorrigible sins

uruvu aRRa jnAnatthu- confused, unclear, confounded

jnAnam – [i had]

uzhalginRa- and was loitering in the scorching

samsaaric ills and ritualistic job of being a priest

without any kaimkarya ruchi

oru pozhidhil – within no time- in just one moment

poruvu aRRa- unparalleled greatest

kELviyan aakki- been made for having heard what only

needs to be heard;

alladhu- making others query and clarify them

ninRaan- He stands as a kruthArtthan[having done what

should be done]

enna puNyanO- what a great bhaagya saali! What a great

mathAthmA! What an acharya! Acharya saarvabhouman’s

grace is amazing!

ennum- thus everyone thinks and praises Acharyan

therivu uRRa keertthi- all over the globe – everyone

knows of his greatness now

seer mugil- purest rainy cloud – most merciful, and

most compassionate

Iraamaanusan- EmperumAnAr.

 

Even performing temple kaimkaryam – I was no aware

of how to do. I was not having clearer jnAnam on

tattva hitha and purusharttham as well as kaimkaryam.

I was having half baked jnAnam and that is more

dangerous than none at all. Now I am blessed. I am

blessed with the clear – crystal clear jnAnam now on

kaimkarya, tattva, hitha and purusharttham. All

happened in just a mere moment of time when acharyan

glanced at me and gave his upadesam through his prime

sishya Swami Kuresa. I was doing simply something

mechanically caught in samsaaric ills and kaimkaryam

as inherited from ancestors due to poorva puNya

paapam.

 

In just one moment, I am indeed blessed. I have heard

what needs to be heard [bahusruthan]. Not only that.

Now I can even enquire all those who are performing

kaimkaryam and make them understand as well and

transform them as well. He has blessed me so.

 

Even this lowliest self has been transformed so- what

a great bhaagyasaali is He! What a great divine

personality is He!- I am wondering. I was thinking

that by transforming me and changing me, he is

accruing more puNya. Even that- I was wrong. It is due

to his greatest mercy, dayA and compassion on

everyone- He blesses like dark clouds that rain on

every place on earth without any bias or partiality.

He is like the clouds due to his kalyANa guNAs.

Everyone praises him thus as well.
