SrI:
SrImathE Ramanujaya namah:
Dearest Srivaishnavas

Srirangam - is bubbling with devotees rushing into
enjoy the Dhivya Dampathi appearing together. Today is
Panguni Utthiram with Divya Dampathi SrI  RanganAthan
and Sri Ranaganayaki appearing together (On the
panguni utthiram day Lord RanganAtha (namperumAL)
appears along with our mAthA pirAtti Sri RanganAyaki
thAyAr and on only this day, one can have this sEtthi
sEvai (darshan of Divya dampathis together) and words
can NOT come to our rescue for expressing the
happiness and bliss one gets during this utsavam when
a person looks at Them; Especially because the scene
is this: 

The Lord (namperumAL) is standing majestically as
usual and more beautiful and graceful today due to the
fact that His consort, the Most gorgeous looking
pirAtti is enjoying the beauty of Her Lord without
taking Her eyes off Him even for a second (She does
not even sit facing us; She has turned her posture by
90 Degrees and is facing the LORD fully;) That should
definitely make our pithA feel PROUD and HAPPY and one
can actually the beaming face of the Lord depicting
His happiness in His eyes and His impish smile
[mandhahAsam]; 

And this is the right opportunity for a person to ask
for favours from our Divine Eternal PARENTS. Our
yatirAjar makes no mistakes; He has taken the pirAtti
first in his side (knowing fully well that pirAtti is
only listening; but not looking at him;) by praising
Her attributes of mercy, dayA, vAtsalyam and Her being
together with the Lord always at all times under all
circumstances (nityAnapAyinee) and pleads to the
pirAtti for recommending to the Lord. She is the
Purushaakaaram and She is equal to Him in all apsects
and kalyANa guNas. 

There goes the Gadhya trayam composition ( saraNagathi
Gadhyam, Sriranga Gadyam and Vaikunda Gadhyam composed
in prose forms) by sri rAmAnujar, the beauty of which
must have already been known to BhagavatALs. These
gadhyams are in fact only to guide us who are caught
in samsaaric troubles and are in deep waters. There is
no other sign of escape for us; except for such
excellent compositions of seers. These compositions of
yatirAjA had been immediately appreciated by Divya
dampati Themselves and their assurances to protect and
save him at all times and to take yatirAjA to Their
Lotus feet at the end to perform ceaseless kainkaryam
at Srivaikuntam. 
Only Sri Sudharsanasuri, Periya vacchaan Pillai and
Swamy Desikan have written commentary for them. 

SaraNAgathi Gadhyam : This deals with the most
important SaraNAgathi ( Prapatthi )doctrine , which is
cardinal to our unparralelled Srivaishnava
Sampradayam.  

Sriranga Gadhyam : This grantham is in the form of a
soul-stirring prayer to Sri RanganAthA. 

Sri Vaikuntha-Gadyam: Describtion of Sri Vaikunta
Divya lOkam - Paramapadham -and the position of the
liberated souls. A moving description of the scenery,
the athAscharya, athiadhbutha narration of
Paramapadham by Udayavar. 

One should make an attempt to recite this Gadhya
thrayam at least today at PerumAL Sannidhi.
