SrI:
SrImathE Ramanujaya nama:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya nama:

Dearest all,

Yo nityam achhuta padambuja yukma rukma vyamohataha
tad itaraani trinaaya mene
asmad guroha bhagavathosya dayaika sindhoho
ramanujasya charanou sharanam prapadye

I surrender to that divine Sri Ramanuja, our guru, an
ocean of mercy, who in his intense attachment to the
two feet of Lord Achyuta, considered all else as
worthless as grass. 

This sloka shows how Ramanuja was totally and
completely devoted to the Lord.  Anyone who reads even
one incident of his life history or one para of his
works, will immediately understand the acharya's deep
abiding love of God and his awareness of His kalyANa
guNas and divine form/ all pervasive presence.
Ramanuja?s catholicity and large heart is so amazingly
true. Ramanuja never misses an opportunity to extol
the auspicious attributes of the Lord (anantha kalyANa
guNaarNavam) even after reciting attribute after
attribute, our acharya declares that these are only
the beginning of the infinite glories of the Lord!

Today is Swami EmperumAnAr?s Thirunakshathram ? 990th
Thirunakshathram. Another ten years- it would be a
grand 1000th Thirunakshathram. The most significant
contribution to the development of the VisishtAviata
Srivaishnava philosophyu has been made by Bhagavad
Ramanuja. 

There are nine works of our dearest AchAryA. (nava
rathnangaL)

1.  Sri Bhashyam- The commentary on Brahma sUthrA that
establishes 
Vishishtadvaitic Siddhaantham. 
2.  Vedantha saarA- 
3.  Vedantha DeepA- 
4.  Vedantha sangraham- These three provide shorter
and intermediate versions of the commentary on Brahma
sUthram.

The above three provide the most authoritative texts
for us to comprehend the glory of Bhagavadh Ramanuja
Siddhaantham.

5.  GitA bhashyam- Self explanatory. Wonderful and
divine Commentary on Bhagavad GitA 
6.  SaranAgathy Gadhyam - Prose type composition on
his ultimate surrender to Lord through Periya Piraatti
Sri MahA Lakshmi?s recommendation and assurance and
the Lord?s reply. 
7.  Sri Ranga Gadhyam- Prose type composition on his
disqualification and Sri Ranganathan?s most auspicious
attributes 
8.  Sri Vaikunta Gadhyam- The jIvan?s travel to Sri
vaikuntam and the beautiful narration of the Parama
Padham and its Nathan. 
9.  Nityam- The Nitya karma anushtaanangaL, a sri
vaishnavan shall perform daily.

Let us begin this day contemplating on the lotus feet
of Sri Bhashyakarar.
