எம்பெருமானும் கற்க வேண்டுமோ?

When emperumAn appeared as chakravarthi thirumagan (rAmar), he learned  kalaigal and

sasthrangal from Vishwamitharana Vashistar (வசிஷ்டர்).Then in KrishnA Avataram, he learned

all the 64 sasthra kalaigal from sAndhipani (ஸாந்தீபனி). This illustrates that even though

Emberuman is the Supreme Almighty (sarvEshwaran), he submits himself to learn from a proper

AchAriyan  in his vibhavaAvataram  in this Bhoologam.  He does so to highlight to us the i

mportance of learning  from a bonafide teacher (AchAriyan) . It is thus essential that everyone

learns from an AchAriyan to obtain and relish  the relationship we have with the Lord

(emperumAn sambantham).

Likewise swAmi ManavALa mAmunigaL had learned all the shAstrArthAs and vedavedanthangal

from his AchAriyan, SrISailESar aka thiruvAimozhipillaiAn/thirumalai Alzhwar and from

his thirutahoppanAr (சொல்லார் தமிலொரு மூன்றும் ச்ருதிகள்

நான்கும் எல்லையில்லா அறநெறி யாவும அறிந்து).

SwAmi mAmunigaL is glorified as the ocean of knowledge since his unparalleled

contributions to our sampradAyam enables us to enjoy the wonderful works of our poorvAchAryAs.

கேட்டார் பின்னைகும் தகையவாய்  எளிமையாகும் இனிமையாகும் சொற்களை கூறும் மனவாளமாமுனிகளைசேவிக்கும்  சாதாரண

பாமர மனிதனும் "யார் கொல் இச் சொல்லின் செல்வர்" என்று கொண்டடுவர்கள்.

His SrIsUktIs and granthAs were rendered in a lucid and simple manner, which as mentioned above,

enables everyone to comprehend and rejoice the profound teachings of the vEdAs and hence

his name "vishadavAk shikhAmani." When a flower is borne by a plant, it can be plucked out

effortlessly." பூ பறித்தார் போலே". 

 This analogy is pointed out by our AchAryAs to drive home the point that swAmi mAmunigaL's

vyAkhyAnams are like the flowers of a plant, which can be easily understood by devotees who desire

to relish our sampradAyam. It is thus evident why our beloved namperumAL rightly chose

swAmi mAmunigaL as his AchAriyan!

An interesting thought elucidated by PBA swAmi:

An interesting thought elucidated by PBA swAmi:

1.   SrIshailEsha dayApAtram

This may be understood as chakravarthi thirumagan becoming a servant of sughrIvan.

Shaila = mountain = riSyamUka  parvatam

shailEsa = owner of this mountain = matangar

 dayApatram = matangamunivar's kripa (mercy) on sughrIvan.  sughrIvan escaped death

only due to this parvata

 Therefore, SaiEsa dayapatram = sugriva

Rama first said sailEsa dayapatram vande (lOkanAtha: purA bhUtva sugrIvam nathanmichati).

However, after becoming the King of kishkindA, sughrIvan forgot to keep up his promise to assist

rAmar and lakshmaNar to find mother sItA. Thus rAmar, who is known for keeping up his word, found difficulty to show this kalyana gunam of prostrating to his abimananatha sughrIvan, i.e. he was

not happy with saluting sughrIva.Now with  SrI+  SailESA dayApAthram (i.e. manavALa mAmunigaL, who is  bestowed with the

grace of tiruvoimozi pillai), emperumAn celebrated mAmunigaL as his AchAriyan and  glorified him

as the one who is the faultless recipient of SriSailesar causeless mercy.

ramyajAmAta = azhagiya manavALan = ranganatha = 'a'

muni = one who meditates (mananam karoti iti muni:)= jIva = 'ma'.

Therefore, one who always thinks about ranganAtha as his Lord is the Lord's shEsha.

This phrase also denotes seshatvam.

Since all the four parts of SrisailEsa mantram expounds the meaning of Om ,

this thaniyan is glorified and worshipped as a mantram.

Morning ghosti:

On the morning of the day of swAmi's mUlam  thirunakshatram ,the morning goshti is recited with 

thirupallAnDu, thirupalliyezhuchi, thiruppAvai, upadesa ratinamalai. sAtrumurai gOshti sevakalam

takes place after that.

Evening ghosti:

The evening Ghosti is recited with Thirupallandu, Amalanthipiran. kanninum siruthambhu,

Kovil ThiruvaiMozhi ThiruvaiMozhi Nootrandhadhi,Upadesa Ratinamalai, Ramanuja Nootrandhadhi

and ends with Saatrumurai.

One of Swami's Ashtadiggajas , swami Appillar's work, Sampradaya chandrikai, will be recited in the night. 

This Sampradaya Chandrikai is being recited by sanathi acharyan Sri U.Ve Gomadam 

SampathKumaraAchariyar swAmi.

சேற்றுக்கமலவயல்சூழ்அரங்கர்தம்சீர்தளைப்பப்

போற்றித்தொழும்நல்லஅந்தணர்வாழஇப்பூதலத்தே

மாற்றற்றசெம்பொன்மணவாளமாமுனிவந்திலனேல்

ஆற்றில்கரைத்தபுளியள்ளவோதமிலாரணமே

(Above rendered by Swami Appillaar, from Sampradaya Chan drikai

(one of our Swami ManavalaMamunigal ashTa-dig-gajas).

 Translation: If our manavALa mAmunigaL had not appeared in this world, the sweet utterances of the 

Alzhwars thiruvAimozhi and their meanings would  have dissolved and disappeared like tamarind in a

flowing river. Therefore, the avatAra of Swami Manavaala Maamunigal is a source of glory for us.

 His golden, lotus feet are our wealth, are the only source of attaining SrIman nArAyanar.
