Bhagavath Ramanuja Millennium 1st May 2017
Bhagavath Ramanuja Millennium 1st May 2017
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 hm through
Arthi Prabandham composed by Manavala Mamaunigal.
Manavala Mamunigal had the distinction of being blessed with "Sri Sailesa Dayapaartram" thanian by none other than Lord Ranganatha. He had close proximity to Lord Ranganatha. He strongly believed that that Bhagavath Ramanuja who was conferred the power to grant Moksha is the only dependable source to recommend him a moksham. Such was his guru bakthi. He decides to plead with Yathiraja.
Arthi Prabhandham was the very last composition of Manavala Mamunigal reflecting on the the glory and compassion of Bhagavath Ramanuja. Mamunigal appeals to Yathiraja to help him to shed his mortal coil and bless him with a darshan of Sriman Narayana on the wings of Peraia thiruvadi
Arthi Prabhandham consists of 60 pasurams and is classic example of Manavala Manunigals mastery of Tamil Poetry composition. He has used most of commonly and uncommonly used meters of Tamil Poetry in these 60 pasurams

In this pasuram Manavala Mamuni pays glowing tributes to the external appearnce of Bhagavat Ramanuja even though he was born 350 years after Bhagavath Ramanuja left for Paramapadam.
This pasuram is more of a "Long Live" slogan for Bhagavath Ramanuja. First Manavala Mamuni pays glowing tribute to his lotus feet which is full of auspicious qualities. Then he goes on to talk about the saffron robe shining like glowing sun on his beautiful body. Mamuni says Bhagavth Ramanuja's sacred thread reflects his knowledge of Vedic Philosophy. His soulders resemble karpaga Vriksham (tree) capable of conferring liberation and Thulasi mala adorning his neck and body. A\beautiful, compassionate eyes and shining twelve thiruman ( Urhrapundram) on his glowing body. He was real role model of Srivaishnava in externally and with his endearing qualities internally. Manavala Mamuni adds "Long Live with each line of this pasuram.
I am reminded of pasuram by Embar on Bhgavath Ramanuja' s beauty. This may be viewed at the following link.
