Let us begin our journey towards 1st May 2017, by recalling his life events, teachings, achievements, glory and his contribution to Srivaishavam and Visishtadwaitham



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. This time we learn about him through Ramanuja Nootrandhadhi composed by Koil Peria Nambi ( Thiruvarangathamudhanar)


Peria Koil Nambi was handling the administration of Srirangam temple. Bhagavat Ramanuja wanted to streamline the operations of the temple as well as administration process. Peria Koil Nambi was a big process hindrance to Bhagavat Ramanuja's plans. Bhagavat Ramanuja was so good in man mangement and devised a scheme to tackle this situation. He asked Koorththazhwan to develop friendship with Peria Koil Nambi and create a taste and interest in scriptures and Divya Prabhandham for him.. Koorththazhwan undertook the job sincerely and slowly made Peria Koil Nambi to understand Ramanuja's Mahima and greatness. The plan worked and Peria Koil Nambi wanted to become a sishya of Bhagavath Ramanuja and he was asked to take Kooraththazhwan as his Guru so that will give a proximity to work with Bhagavth Ramanuja through Kooraththazhwan. Peria Koil Nambi later composed Ramanuja Nootrandhadhi. Bhagavath Ramanuja did not like the initial version and so scrapped it. Bhagavath Ramanuja guided him to re-write the Ramanuja Nootrandhadhi connecting his relationships to Azhwars, Acharya and their works bringing out the respect and reverence he had for all of them. Once it was completed Bhagavath Ramanuja was very happy and gave the Title "Amudhanar" to Peria Koil Nambi and since he was from Thiruvarangam ( Srirangam), he got the new name "Thiruvarangathamudhanar" Bhagavat Ramanuja gave permission to add "Ramanuja Nootrandhadhi" to Divya Prabhandham, which had 3892 pasurams became 4000 and Came to be known as Nalayira Divya prabhandham. Since the entire Divya Prabhandham is in Tamil also came to be known as Dravida Veda Sagaram.

Let us dwell on the thirteenth Pasuram of Ramanuja Nootrandhdhi.


Let us dwell on the fourteenth Pasuram of Ramanuja Nootrandhdhi.


Amudhanar says Bhagavath Ramanuja had unshakeable faith in Thondarapodi Azhwar who offered two garlands to Lord Ranganatha possessing kalyana gunas', namely fresh and fragrant Thulasi Mala and  a garland made of two Prabhandhams namely Thirumalai and Thirupalliyezhuchchi. Amudhanar says the lotus feet of that great Bhagavath Ramanuja is his only resort and support.
