Swami
Manavala Mamunigal thiruther purappadu 2019
For a Srivaishnavaite, Kainkaryam is essential; Selfless and
unconditional ‘kainkaryam’ cleanses the soul of the performer. One
must adore and be attached to their Acharyan and only the direction of Acaryar
will lift us from all earthly evils. ~ and everyday we must think of our Greatest Acaryar – Periya Jeeyar -
Saint Vara Vara Muni, the last of the ‘Poorvacharyars’ in the grand galaxy of
preceptors, known as Alagiya Manavala Nayanar, before he was ordained the holy
order of Sanyasa. It is none other than our most adored
Acharyar “Swami Manavala Mamunigal” - the reincarnation of Sri Ramanuja
who was himself an incarnation of Adisesha.
last year (above) and this year below
ஸ்ரீ வைஷ்ணவம் எனும் ஆலமரம்
தழைக்க இராமானுஜரின் மறு அவதாரமாக தோன்றினவர் நம்
ஆச்சார்யன் ஸ்வாமி மணவாள மாமுனிகள் ~ அவரது திருவவதாரத்தால் இந்த ஐப்பசி மாசம்
சிறப்புற்றது.
The
eternal place of bliss – the abode of Lord Ranganatha – Thiruvarangam is
‘Periya Kovil’ for devout Srivaishnavaites. For us everything
associated with the reclining Lord Ranganatha is ‘Periya’ (the Big ~
nonpareil) ~ the Lord here is Periya Perumal; his consort is Periya
Pirattiyar; the holy bathing [Thirumanjanam] in the month of Aani is
‘Periya Thirumanjanam’ ……….. the Acharyar known as ‘Periya Jeeyar’ is our Swami
Manavala Mamunigal who spent a major portion of his life at Thiruvarangam
serving the Lord.
It is
said that Manavala mamuni's devotion to Nammalvar, Ramanuja and to his own
Acharya grew as he studied the Alvar's hymns and rahasyas at Alvar
tirunagari. Sri Manavala mamunigal’s first work is “Yatiraja
Vimsati” twenty sanskrit stanzas in praise of Sri Ramanuja.
Upon reading this, Tiruvaimozhip pillai gave him the title Yateendra
Pravanar. Sri Manavala Mamunigal’s uthsavam is to conclude –
tomorrow is ‘Sarrumurai day’. On the penultimate day, today (31st
Oct 2019) – there is purappadu for Swami Mamunigal both in the morning and
evening.
Morning
it was ‘Siriya Thiruther’ – here are some photos taken during the
purappadu this morning.
இப்புவியில் அரங்கேசர்க்கு ஈடு அளித்தான் வாழியே !
எழில் திருவாய்மொழிப்பிள்ளை இணையடியோன் வாழியே !!

adiyen Srinivasa dhasan.
