Sri Parthasarathi thunai,
Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha
Sri Vara Vara MunayE namaha

Dear bhAgavatas,

Accept adiyen?s humble pranams. With the divine grace of Sri AndAl samEtha Sri 
Parthasarathi emperuman, this kainkaryam, series of postings on the thirumAlai 
paasurams of thondaradi podi alwar has come to an end. Adiyen is grateful to 
asmad Acharyan HH Sri VanamAmalai kaliyan Ramanuja jeeyer swamigal whose 
kataksham has given adiyen, the required strength to continue with this 
kainkaryam. Adiyen is highly grateful to Sri Sri Krishna Premi anna whose 
lectures adiyen has followed throughout my postings. Adiyen is also thankful to 
Sri M.A. Venkata Krishnan swamigal whose upanyasam has also helped adiyen in 
some places.

On top of all these adiyen is grateful to each of the bhagavata in this group 
who had rendered support for adiyen to continue this kainkaryam, by sending 
their appreciation and corrections wherever necessary. Adiyen specially thank 
the moderators of the groups for their extended support.

There are not many words to thank our alwars and acharyas who have left forus 
such divine treasures. Though this is a small prabandham it has great 
importance. It is absolutely essential for each and every srivaishnava to know 
this prabandham by heart. As already said, ?ThirumAlai ariyAr thirumAlai 
ariyar? (one who doesn?t know thirumAlai prabhandam are those whocannot 
understand the supreme bhagavan). This prabandham talks about Vishnu paratvam, 
thirunAma sankeerthanam, prEma bhakthi, divya mangala lAvanyam, kainkarya 
ruchi, bhAgavata kataksham, bhAgavata prasAdam, bhagavat leelasin various 
avatarams and many more. So though the saying goes that ?kOdhai tamil iyindhum 
iyindhum ariyAdha mAnidarai vaiyam sumappadhE vambhu? (it is a waste for the 
earth to hold those who do not know the 30 paasuramsof Sri Andal) still 
thiruppAvai is vedantha vishayam and little tough to understand but thirumAlai 
is in easy tamil and could be easily understood even by kids so it is atmost 
essential for each one of us to learn it.

Adiyen?s series of postings on thirumAlai was just an attempt to get awareness 
among the bhagavatas of this group about this prabandham and the great meanings 
studded in it as explained by the vyakhyAnams of vyakhyAna chakravarthi, Sri 
periya vAchAn pillai. It is not the complete translation of the vyakhyAnam. So 
Adiyen requests all bhAgavatas to please go through the actual vyakhyanam to 
enjoy more indepth meanings or listen the same from learned scholars and 
acharyas.

Alwar EmperumAnAr Jeeyer thiruvadigalE sharaNam

Adiyen Ramanuja Dasyai
Sumithra Varadarajan
