Dear Pradeep :
Good to know that you are writing a book
on the basics of VaishNavam .Best wishes
.
VaishNavaas have 2 Aagamams to worship
Bhagavaan Sriman NaarAyaNan at Home and
in all the temples . These are PaancharAtram and
VaikhAnasam .
You can not tell a temple , whether it
is
practising PaancharAtra or VailhAnasa
Aagamam
from outside . The rites of worship , the use of
Vedams
in worship , the use of tantric rites , the use of
Agni
and a host of other practises will help to
determine the
type of Aagamam that is being used .
Please refer to :
for details on these two VaishNavite Aagamams
.
Ebooks in the above web site cover both
:
PaancharAtram : ebook 25 & 26
VaikhAnasam: ebook 31
There are many Guruparamparaas bequeathed to us
by our AchAryAs . I request one of the
other
Members to respond to your specific question on
Pinbhazhagiya Jeeyar . He was NampiLLai's sishyar.
There is a wealth of information for you at
Please refer to it .
Individual Guru Paramparaas will have different
information items . You would have to piece them
together .For instance , 6000 padi Guru Paramparaa
prabhavam
will have the nakshatram and the months
of
AzhwAr avatArams and not tithi, Vaaram ,
Year
and yugam . 3,000 padi has additional
complimentary information . Dating of
the times of AzhwArs is tricky .
SampradhAya
Jn~Anam and History Jn~Anam have difficulty
going together .
