Srimathe RAmAnujAya namah

Ippasi Moolam is the most auspicious and glorious day
of the appearance of Sri ManavAla MAmunigal.
Today, adiyen was fortunate to listen to Sri Velukudi
Varadhachariar swamy's upanyAsam on Periya Jeeyar.
Adiyen would try to repeat/paraphrase the words
of swamy as much as possible.
Even though ManavAla mAmunigal has many wonderful
qualities and many many pastimes, few of those adiyen
remembers Velukudi swamy explaining.
ManavAla mAmunigal is dearly known as Azhagiya
ManavAla MAmuni, Jeeyar, Periya Jeeyar, Vara vara
muni, etc. But he has one special name which no other
AcharyA received, even though they all qualify for the
same. It is Yathindra Pravanar. Many stalwart AcharyAs
such EmbAr, KoorathAlvan, MudhaliyAndan, Bhattar,
Nanjeeyar, Nampillai, Periya VAchan Pillai, et all
have all shown great dependence towards EmberumAnAr
but none received this great honor. Even though Periya
Jeeyar himself is punar avatAram of Swamy EmberumAnAr,
he always showed so much humility
and always presented himself as a very lowly servant
of EmberumAnAr.
Adiyen also observes that Periya Jeeyar in his
YatirAja vimsati accepts all naichya bhAvam of all our
pUrvAchAryAs such as Alavandar, KoorathAlvAn, Bhattar,
etc., on himself eventhough he does not have to do it.
It is only his humility and total
dependence on Swamy EmberumAnAr.
The other great honor which no other AchAryA received
is the well known thaniyan presented by Lord
RanganAtha himself and completing the AchAryA rathna
mAlai. Even Swamy EmberumAnAr himself did not receive
that honor. Every AchAryA appears for a specific
purpose. AlavandAr appears to begin the tradition of
Stotrams and explaining the vedAnta. EmberumAnar
appears to establish the Sri Vaisnava darsanam fully.
Bhattar appears to establish Sri Rangam's speciality.
Periya vAchAn pillai appears to write vyAkyAnam for
Tamil prabandams. Lokacharyar appears to give us
rahasya granthams. This way Periya Jeeyar appears to
glorify EmberumAnAr. And EmberumAn inturns glorifies
Periya Jeeyar by accepting Periya Jeeyar as his
AchAryA and presenting his own sesha paryangam as
sambAvanai. That is why we see Periya Jeeyar with Adhi
Seshan everywhere.
There many other wonderful glories of Periya Jeeyar
such as
- Blessing us with the vyAkyAnam for rahasya
granthams, AchArya Hrudayam
- Blessing us with the vyAkyAnam for Periyalvar
thirumozhi (only for the missing pasurams)
- Blessing us with many sri sookthis
- Knowing all the vyAkyAnams by heart and always
chanting the vyakyAnams
- Re-establishing Sri Rangam's glories
- Performing 1 year kAlakshebam of Eedu in
Sri Rangam which was enjoyed by EmberumAn himself
with nAchiyars, Alwars and AchAryAs at the expense
of all other utsavams
- Sending his disciples all over the bhArata desam to
spread the Sri Vaishnava Darshanam
- and many more....
Adiyen will stop here and pray to Periya Jeeyar's
lotus feet for any mistakes adiyen might
have committed and will hopefully develop some
devotion towards his lotus feet.
Acharyan thiruvadigale saranam.
Ramanuja dasan
