Sri Parthasarathi thunai

Srimathe ramanujaya Namaha

Sri Vara Vara munayE Namaha

Sri vAnAchala mahA munayE Namaha

 

Many philosophies and religions have been profounded and propagated for ages.  
"Samayam palapala vAkki" says swamy Nammazhwar.  All the different philosophies 
were framed by emperuman himself and were given to the world.  Among these, 
Srivaishnava dharmam remains unique.  This is because, it has been in existence 
from the age of the vedas and our glorious Guruparamparai stream of Acharyas 
propagates its richness across generations.

 

The originator of this Srivaishnava sampradayam, who is the first in the 
Guruparamparai chain of acharyas, is Lord Sriman Narayanan himself.  He is 
followed by piratti, Sri Mahalakshmi.  Then follows senai mudaliyar, 
vishvaksenar.  This lineage is actually a cycle starting with periya perumal 
and ending with perumal himself as he cherished being the disciple of Swamy 
manavala mAmunikal the last in the acharya lineage.  Moksha is assured to 
anyone who is part of this cycle.  To get more Srivaishnavas into fold swamy 
udaiyavar, blessed with the wealth of the two worlds and one who is adorned as 
"Srivishnu loka mani mandapa mArga dhAyee" appointed the 74 simhasanAdhipadhis, 
who blessed shisyas with the three rahasyas (samasrayanam/panchasamskaram) and 
got them into the sharanagathi marga as a representative of Swamy ramanuja.  We 
find the acharyas in the lineage of the 74 simhasanAdhipadhis still doing 
samasrayanam and uplifting many ignorant jeevatmas.

 

After swamy udaiyavar the "oran vazhi sampradayam" continued till Swamy 
manavala mAmunikal, adorned as ethi punarAvathara (yatheendra pravana).   Swamy 
mAmunikal appointed ashtadiggajAcharyas to spread and establish the ramanuja 
darsanam in all the 8 directions.  The first and foremost among them, the prime 
disciple of Swamy mAmunikal celebrated as "Ponnaddikal jeeyer' by mAmunikal 
himself was the founder of the vanamamalai mutt, 'HH Sri onnana vanamamalai 
ramanuja jeeyer swamy"

 

No words can really express the deep acharya bhakthi of swamy.  Onnana swamy 
took sanyasa even before his acharya, Swamy Mamunikal for the very purpose of 
acharya kainkaryam.  Swamy did extensive traveling throughout India as per the 
instruction of his acharya and did a great service to our sampradayam.  The 
effect of which we realize even today, as we find thodadri mutts throughout 
India and in Nepal.  Adiyen has met a few people from Nepal who proudly declare 
themselves to be thodadri mutt shisyas and when we say that we are also part of 
the mutt then the reverence and regards reflect in their eyes.  

 

To have a detailed study about this great acharya adiyen requests you all to go 
through the book "Sri Varamangai Muni Vaibhavam". The writeup in english based 
on this book can be seen under the following link www.geocities.com/sumivaradan 
under vaibhavams section.

 

Following ponnaddikal swamy, 30 Jeeyers have followed till date.  Now the crown 
of Vanamamalai mutt is adorned by our revered acharya HH Sri kaliyan 
vanamamalai Ramanuja Jeeyer swamy (30th peedAdhipathi).  Due to the divine 
blessings of our acharya and the ultimate grace of parthasarathi emperuman 
adiyen had written about the taniyan, kainkaryam and charama sloka details of 
the first 27 Jeeyers as postings in the groups based on "Gaganagiri Muni 
Guruparampara Prabhavam".  Adiyen humbly requests all bhagavatas to browse 
through the archives to know about all the great mahans (acharyas) in the 
Gaganagiri Muni Guru parampara.

 

With such a great order of acharyas and with mutts all over India, isn't it 
fare to have a mutt also in the second special divya desam for Srivaishnavas, 
thirumalai?  But why hasn't there been a mutt in thirumalai till today? Let us 
wait till the next posting to know the answer.

"LET US WORK IN UNITY AND BE PART OF THE ACHARYA KAINKARYAM AND GET CLOSE TO 
THE HEARTS OF THE DIVINE COUPLES"
