Iraamaanusa nooRRanthAthi- 49th verse- What a way the world is saved with His avthaara!

[Guest guest]

SrI:

SrImathE Ramanujaya namah:

 

Dearest all,

 

Those blemishless ones praise Ramanuja- Amudhanar had

said in the past verse. How do they praise- The ishta

praapthi and anishta nirvtthi did not happen after

Ramanuja started instructing or blessing; it started

happening the day he was born in this world. – Says

Amudhanaar in this verse.

Emperumaanaar- Sri Ramanujacharya, who enjoys placing

his head at the

Lotus Feet of Lord Sri RanganAthA (of Srirangam,

filled with fertile

fields, and beautiful ponds of Lotus flowers, where

the Lord has His

YoganithrA), appeared on this earth and do you know

what all happened:

The Dharmic way and Vedic lifestyle that were decaying

started getting revived; the six religions that are

against the Vedic principles and are full of flaws and

bluffs- which propagate non vedic philosophy, were

simply finished off; the cruel kali purushan who is

the cause of all these havoc in this world also was

crushed. What a way the world is saved with His

avthaara!

 

Poo kamalam then nadhi pay vayal- The freshly bloomed

lotus flowers –

honey from them flooding the fertile fields

Then arangan kazhal- Sri Ranga naathan's lotus feet

Senni vaitthu – placing them on His head at all times

[meditating on

the lotus feet of the Lord]

Thaan adhi mannum- immersing himself in those lotus

feet

Iraamaanusan- Sri Ramanuja

e thalatthu udhitthE= from the time he appeared in

this world

aRam nEri semmai aanadhu- Dharmam was saved and was

set right.

Poymmai aRu samayam ponRi poanadhu- the no vedic

[false] six religions

are crushed;

Vem kali iRandhadhu- the cruel Kali is dead…

 

After Ramanuja came to Srirangam there are lots of

good things happening to everyone and to

Srivaishnavam. That is not uncommon with the greatness

of Ramanuja, his daya, his ability to correct

individuals and transform them.. Amudhanaar goes a

step further- from the time Ramanuja appeared all

these good deeds have started happening. Sage

Agasthya, et al when they appeared the world realized

a difference – puranas claim. Similarly when Ramanuja

appeared there was an uthkarsham in the world.

Yadavaprakasa planned to leave the young Ramanuja [who

was in his teens] in the dense forest in the banks of

Ganges; but was forwarned by Govindhar and Ramanuja

left them in the forest trying to come back to South.

He lost his way and met an old hunter couple who also

guided him on the path as the forest was dense and

dark. The lady of the couple asked for some water and

Ramanuja went searching for water and found himself

near the well at Kanchipuram belonging to the temple

[saalai kiNaRu].

 

He was thus blessed by Kacchi Devarajan and PerundhEvi

thaayaar who came in the guiae of old hunter couple in

order to help their darling child Ramanuja and asked

for water so that he would search and be able to find

himself at the well of Kanchipuram. What a blessing!

He alone is Theertha shrEshtar! His doctrine, his

sampradayam whch he propounded based on Swami

Nammazhwar, Sriman Nathamuni and Sri Yamunacharya's

teaching and established Vedic religion in

unparalleled and unambiguous manner. He crushed the

other non-vedic religions and saved many from going

haywire following wrong jnAnam and vibhareetha jnAnam.

This saalai kiNaRu is thus even better than Ganges.
