Sri Parthasarathi thunai Srimathe Ramanujaya namaha Dear Sri TCA Venkatesan, Sri Ananthazhvan's explanation to the paasuram was superb. There are so many such instances in our Guru Paramparai which are nice to hear even when we know them earlier. please do keep posting more such anubhavangal of our beloved acharyas. I remember one instance where there is a dialogue between Sri Nanjeeyer and Sri Ananthazhvan. After taking Sanyasam Sri Nanjeeyer was going to SriRangam to meet his acharyan Sri Paraasara Bhattar. On his way he meets Thirumalai Ananthazhvan. Sri Ananthazhvan asked Nanjeeyer why he has taken up sanyasam for which Nanjeeyer replied because sanyasa ashrama is called as Moksha ashrama. Hearing this Sri Ananthazhvan gave an excellent reply. "vaErtha podhu kulithu pasitha podhu vunDu Bhattar Thiruvadigale gadhi endru erundal paramapada naadan tallividuvano?" (that is you live how ever you want, bath because it sweats and eat whenever hungry but keep saying onething that My Acharya is always there to protect me, then will paramapada nathan push you from srivaikundam?) This shows the great Acharya Bhakthi and faith that just surrendering to the acharyan will lead us to the Moksha. What greatness each acharyan in our Guru paramparai possesses!!! We can keep talking about them life long. Alwar Emperumanar Jeeyer Thiruvadigale Charanam Adiyen Ramanuja Dasyai Sumithra Varadarajan.
