Udayavar Uthsavam day 5 ~ 2019 @ Thiruvallikeni


Udayavar Uthsavam day 5 ~ 2019 @ Thiruvallikeni

The ThiruAvatharaUthsavam of the Greatest Acharyar ~ Nammiramanusar   – is now on and today is day 5.  ‘YathiRajar’ ~ the king among yathis [hermits and sages],   travelled all the way by foot to far-flung places making the Srivaishnavatie tradition flourish in all his path.   The more one thinks and reads of him, more one is over-awed by his great qualities and knowledge.



Gadyatrayam, ‘the three prose pieces’ of Swami Bhagavad Ramanuja  emphasizes  bakthi and saranagati as the surest means to attain salvation.  He easily achieved the arduous task of refuting the mayavadins who denied all attributes to the Supreme and establish SrimanNarayana with the most adorable form, name, auspicious qualities, aisvarya and more.  Sri Vaikundagadyam believed to have been composed by him, when he was in Melkote, reveals his yearning to reach the Lord and serve Him. 

நாம் பெருமை கொள்ளும் நம்மிராமாநுசன் யதிகட்கெல்லாம் அரசனாக விளங்கியதால் 'யதிராஜர்' என கெளரவிக்கப்பட்டவர்.   ஸ்வாமி மணவாளமாமுனிகள்  தமது 'யதிராஜ விம்சதியில்'   "யதிபதி" என்ற பத ப்ரயோகத்தினால் தனக்கு தலைவராக உடையவரைக் கொண்டாடி எம்பெருமானாரிடத்தில் சரணாகதி செய்கிறார்...



ஸ்ரீமாதவாங்க்ரி ஜலஜத்வய நித்யஸேவா ப்ரமாவிலாஸய பராங்குஸ பாதபக்தம்|
காமாதிதோஷஹரம் ஆத்மபதாஸ்ரிதாநாம் ராமாநுஜம் யதிபதிம் ப்ரணமாமி மூர்த்நா||

श्रीमाधवाङ्घ्रि जलजद्वय नित्यसेवा   -  प्रेमाविलाशय  पराङ्कुश  पादभक्तम् ।
कामादिदोष  हरमात्म  पदाश्रितानां  -  रामानुजं  यतिपतिं  प्रणमामि  मूर्ध्ना ।

Our Acaryar Swami Manavalamamunigal says :  “I salute the Emperor of Sanyasis – Swami Ramanuja (Yathipathi !) who had immense vathsalyam for the lotus feet of Swami Nammalwar and our Swami Ramanuja chased away  the blemishes of those who took refuge under his feet.   In his beautiful slokam Yathiraja vimsathi, Varavaramunigal connects Acarya parampara from NumPerumal down to Kurathazhwan, the dear disciple of Ramanuja.  Mamunigal ascribes his devotion to the feet of Ramanuja saying ‘parankusa pada baktham’ – Udayavar’s attachment to the feet of Swami Nammalwar.  For us Acaryar is the chief preceptor and saviour who will lead us to the ultimate salvation by taking us near Emperuman.
