Srimathe Ramanujaya namaha

Adiyen is writing about Periya Jeeyar (ManavalaMamunigal) 
many of us may know about HIM, still let us allocate some time 
to talk about Sri ManavalaMamunigal.
Let us also Chant His works and learn the meanings and pay our 
respects to the LORD's Acharya. 

This is the transcript from year 2000 Q&A with some students at
University of Illinois at Chicago.

Q: Who is HE why should we know about HIM?
===========================================
=>Lord's Acharya (Swami ManavalaMamuni also known as VaraVara Muni)

=> The only Acharya who had the unique opportunity of delivering 
dravida veda vyakhyanam before Lord Ranganatha and Samskrita vedanta 
vyakhyanam before Bhagawath Ramanuja. 

=> Hence Ubhayavedantacarya as per the Lord and Bahgawath Ramanuja

=> HE is also knows as PeriyA Jeeyar, is the only Acharya recognised by Perumal 
(Lord Ranganatha) as HIS Acharya. With Mamunigal as his Acharya, Lord 
Ramganatha taught us qualities of a devotee.

=> He is the avatara of Adisesha and Swami Ramanuja.

=> Srisailesa Daya Patram is the taniyan recognised as a mantram 
and the only slokam submitted by Lord Himself for his Acharya.

Our Lord has commanded that this tanian should be recited before 
chanting of the Dhivya Prabhandas, and at the end with VazhiThirunamam.

SriSailesa Daya patram DhiBhakti Adi Gunarnavam 
Yatindra pravanam Vande Ramyaja Mataram Munim

Next: Part II: Complete HISTORY of Lord Ranganatha taking Swami 
ManavalaMaMunigal
