நெஞ்சே தினம் நினைப்போம் இராமானுசன் நாமங்களே रामानुजस्य चरणौ शरणं प्रपद्ये (132 days to celebrate 1000th year of Bhagavat Ramanuja)

நெஞ்சே தினம் நினைப்போம்  
இராமானுசன் நாமங்களே
रामानुजस्य चरणौ शरणं प्रपद्ये 
(132 days to celebrate 1000th year of Bhagavat Ramanuja)

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 Mamunigal declares that Bhagavath Ramanuja is his father, mother, wife and child and his valuable asset. Manavala Mauni says his bodily afflictions is preventing him from keeping the focus on his devotion to Bhagavath Ramanuja.  He wonders as to why Bhagavath Ramanuja not showing compassion to help him to give up his body and get liberation.
