Sri: Humble pranam to all devotees on This Holy day of Mamunigal's Thriunakshatram =============================================================== Particiapte in HIS Celbrations at W-DC: http://ramanuja.cc.uic.edu Q 1: Mamunigal - Who is he and Why should every being Know about HIM? ======================================================= He is the Lord's Acharya (Swami ManavalaMamuni also known as VaraVara Muni) The only Acharya to have had the unique opportunity of delivering drAviDa vEda discourses before Lord Ranganatha and Samskrita vedanta discourses before Sri Ramanuja. Hence, Ubhayavedantacarya as per the Lord and Sri Ramanuja. He is the avatara of Adisesha and Swami Ramanuja. Srisailesa Daya Patram is the only taniyan recognised as a mantram (that which protects by invocation) because it is the shlokam submitted by Lord Himself for his Acharya (mAmunikaL). Per our Lord's instructions, this thaniyan is to be recited at the beginning and conclusion of any divya prabandham recitation (akin to how the sacred Om is chanted at the beginning and ending for vEdic recitations) ======================================================= Read these and more on the Vedic magazine http://www.vedics.net/magazine/index.html Azhvar Emberumanar Jeeyar ThiruvadigalE sharanam adiyEn rAmAnuja dAsan Mukundan Vangkipuram Pattangi http://www.vedics.net
