When any one wants to know about a guru, he needs to be introduced by someone who had greater understanding about his work, teachings, glory etc. We are going to learn about Bhagavath Ramanuja's greatness, divine qualities, His reverence for Acharyas' as well as their works and contributions, His respects for Azhwars and their Arulichyals through Ramanuja Nootrandhadhi composed by Koil Peria Nambi ( Thiruvarangaththamudhanar)

Let us dwell on the sixteenth Pasuram of Ramanuja Nootrandhdhi.

In this pasuram, Amudhanar brings out the special connection that Bhagavath Ramanuja had with Andal, who used to decorate her hair and herself with garland of flowers that Periazhwar had specially woven for Lord Ranganatha. Amudhanar says Bhagavath Ramanuja wasa recipient of her compassion and grace, as he immersed himself in her Thiruppavai for its simple but effective poetry and embedded deep philosophies. Bhagavath Raamanuja also got the titles Thiruppavai Jeeyar and Kovil Annan later.


Amudhanar goes on to add that Bhagavath  Ramanuja's avatar had taken place at a time when vedic truths were getting misinterpreted in the Kaliyuga and wth his vast knowledge Bhagavath Ramanuja took action to defend the vedas with his writings, debating skills and arguments.
