Sri Ranganatha Stotram By Sri Parasara Bhattar
------------------------------------------------------------
Lord Ranganatha of Srirangam is unique in many ways.
Lord Ranganatha is
1) Swayambhu ( Manifested out His Will)
2) Worshiped By Brahmma
3) Has the distinction of Managalasasanam from 11 Azhwars
4) Ishvaku Kula Deivam and worshipped By Lord Rama
5) Worshiped by Adi Sankara (propagator of Adwaitham)
6) Worshiped by Sri Bhagavath Ramanuja (propagator of VisishtaAdwaitham)
7) Worshiped Sri Madhwacharya (propagator of Dwaitham)
8 ) Worshiped by Sri Krishna Prabhullapada
9) Worshiped by the Three Great saints of Carnatic Music
10) Biggest Temple with seven Prakarams and vast acreage of land
11) Worshiped by Vibheeshana ( visits the temple every 12 years)
12) Archavathara Lord broke the silence and spoke to Acharyas
13) Requested services of Sri Ramanuja from Kanchi Perarulaalan.
14) Listened to Thiruvaaimozhi vyaakyanam, honored Manavala Mamunigal with a Thanian
We can go on and on.
Sri Parasara Bhattar was the foster son of Divya Thampathis of Srirangam. One of his compositions is Sri Ranganatha Stotram. Sri Parsara Bhattar graphically describes Lord Ranganatha as the one who is
1) Reclining on Adisesha
2) Sleeping is yoga nidra pose
3) Under Ranga Vimanam resembiling a lotus bud
4) in temple Surrounded by seven Prakarams
5) Located between Cauvery and its tributory Kollidam
6) Having his Right hand near His crown
7) Pointing His Left hand to his Padams
8) Having long Eyes
9) Wearing Pundarikam
10) Smiling face
11) Wearing a crown with gems
12) with beautiful lips
13) Having body that glitters like sapphire of Indra
Parasara Bhattar, who lived so close to Thiruvarangan, says he would prefer to be born as a street dog serving in Srirangam rather than having the opportunity to drink the nectar or spending time in Heaven
