How can I speak of the greatness of Srirangam? Fourteen divine years are not enough for me to say and for you to listen Yama’s predicament is worse than mine! He has no kingdom to rule over! All mortals go to Srirangam and have their sins expiated And the devas? They too go to Srirangam to be born as mortals! Shiva to Narada in the Sriranga Mahatmaya Introduction Great civilizations have been created and sustained around river systems across the world. India is no exception and in the Tamil country amongst the most famous rivers, Kaveri (among the seven sacred rivers of India) has been the source of wealth for several dynasties that rose and fell along her banks. Affectionately called Ponni, alluding to Pon being gold, the Kaveri river flows in Tamil Nadu for approx. 445 Kilometers out of its 765 Kilometers. Ancient poets have extolled her beauty and compared her to a woman who wears many fine jewels. If these jewels are the prosperous settlements on her banks, the island of Srirangam 500 acres and 13 kilometers long and 7 kilometers at its widest must be her crest jewel. Everything about Srirangam is massive – it is at 156 acres (perimeter of 10,710 feet) the largest Hindu temple complex in worship after Angkor which is now a Buddhist temple.

This image is very unique. Here, one can see Ramanuja with the gnyAna mudra (the sign of a teacher; see his right/left hands); usually, Swami Ramanuja’s images always present him in the anjali mudra (offering worship, both hands together in obeisance). Our elders say that Swami Ramanuja’s image at Thirumala shows the gnyAna mudra, because it is here that Swami Ramanuja gave his lectures on Vedarta Sangraha, his insightful, profound treatise on the meaning of the Upanishads. It is also said that Swami Ramanuja here is considered an Acharya to Lord Srinivasa Himself, and that is why the hundi is located right in front of swami Ramanuja at the temple (as a mark of respect to an Acharya). In Thirumala, other than Lord Srinivasa, Varaha, Narasimha and A VEDICS JOURNAL Varadaraja, the only other accepted shrine is that of Swami Ramanuja.

  • History of Tamil Literatures for the Dissemination of Alvar Pasurams
    © 2018 JETIR September 2018, Volume 5, Issue 9 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) History of Tamil Literatures for the Dissemination of Alvar Pasurams R. Maheswari Assistant Professor, Department of History, D. G. Govt. Arts College for Women Mayiladuthurai, Tamilnadu -625258. Abstract Although Alvar Pasurams are original songs that have been chanted before the idols of the Lord Vishnu throughout Tamilnadu, there are at present many commentaries and allied writings relating to the Pasurams for promoting the songs in Nalayira Divya Prabandam. The historical datelines of the origin of such Vaishnava books have not been put in order so far. So, this paper attempts to trace the history of Tamil literatures that had appeared for the dissemination of Alvar Pasurams in South India. Key Words: Tamil literatures, Alvar Pasurams, Vaisnava books, history. Introduction The Holy text of Vaishnavas, which is an anthology of 4000 Pasurams written by the twelve Alvars between the 675 AD and 835 AD, is popularly known as the Nalayira Divya Prabandham. During the period of Alvars, in fact, the Pasurams were sung with devotion by the disciples of the Alvars who were habituated in and around the native place of respective Alvars and to some extent the Pasurams might have reached the hands of some Vaishnava scholars.1 These pasurams were collected and made into a single manuscript in palm-leaf script by Nathamuni of Kattumannar koil, another name of Vira Narayanapuram.2 As a scion of good Brahmin family, Nathamuni (823-918AD)3was well known for his excellence in Sanskrit and Tamil literatures; he was in the Srirangam shrine and listened to Ramayana when Kambar had inaugurated opening ceremony for his Ramayana manuscript in the year 885 AD.4 Since there was a quarrel with the King Kulothunga Chola, Kambar had awaited to inaugurate his Ramayana in the royal court, but he couldn’t have such opportunity; the Nalayira Divya Prabandham might have inaugurated before the Ramayana and it could have motivated Kambar to inaugurate his poetry before the lord of Srirangam when the quarrels arose.

  • Kasturiranga Iyengar - a Versatile National Leader
    Golden Research Thoughts Volume 2, Issue. 3, Sept 2012 Available online at www.aygrt.net ISSN:-2231-5063 ORIGINAL ARTICLE GRT Kasturiranga Iyengar - A Versatile National Leader K.MURUGIAH Associate Professor of History Manonmaniam Sundaranar University Tirunelveli-627 012 ABSTRACT: The year 1920 was a year of ceaseless activity in the national cause for S.Kasturi ranga Iyengar. Although his health was none too good at the time, he presided over conferences; participated in Congress meetings and engaged himself in organizational work. All this was, of course, in addition to his exacting editorial work. He was a fearless freedom fighter, labour sympathizer and social reformer and an extremist turned moderate. He was well associated with the Natiional leaders like Tilak, Gandhi and Malaviya. In Tamil Nadu, he had close friends like S.Satyamurthi, Salem C.Vijiaraghavachariar ,V.O.Chidambaram Pillai and Thiru. Vi.Kalayanasundara Mudaliar. APPRECIATION FROM ALL RELIGIOUS MINDED PEOPLE The year opened with a personal event of some importance to Kasturiranga Iyengar. On January 9, 1920, he completed sixty years according to the Hindu Calendar. This was an occasion for religious ceremonies and for felicitations from friends. Several admirers of his arranged a public meeting to celebrate the occasion. It was a representative gathering, attended by Hindus, Muslims and Christians, Brahmins and non-Brahmins, caste Hindus and Adi-Dravidas. Everyone had praise for S.Kasturiranga Iyengar's services to the country, especially through The Hindu. On behalf of the Indian Christian community, a speaker thanked Kasturi Iyengar for his support to the efforts to kindle national feelings amongst them.

  • Janakiammal (Janaki)
    Ramanujan’s wife: Janakiammal (Janaki) Janaki was born on March 21, 1899. She was the fourth daughter of six chil- dren (five daughters and a son) of Rangaswamy Iyengar and Ranganayaki Ammal of Rajendram, a village close to Marudur Railway Station. Janaki’s mother was a friend of Ramanujan’s mother, Komalathammal, who on a visit to Rajendram saw the nine year old girl and negotiated with the parents of Janaki to get Janaki married to her son Ramanujan, who was 21 years old at that time. The marriage took place on July 14, 1909 and Ramanujan’s father was not present at the wedding. A delay in the arrival of Ramanujan with his mother on the day of the wedding, was a cause for anxiety to the parents of Janaki who even thought of another groom for Janaki, to avoid the stigma to the family that the marriage did not take place as planned! The Ramanujan-Janaki wedding was a five-day ceremony and it took place along with the wedding of another sister of Janaki. After the wedding, Komalathammal took Janaki along with her son to Kum- bakonam. The young wife was soon back with her parents. She came of age and joined her husband in 1912, after Ramanujan got a clerical job in the Madras Port Trust. They resided at Saiva Muthaiah Mudali Street, in George Town. In May 1913, Ramanujan joined the University of Madras as its first research scholar and he first moved, for about 10 months, to Hanu- mantharayan Koil Street, and then to Toppu Venkatachala Mudali Street, both in Triplicane.

  • Samaasrayanam.Pdf
    Page 1 of 15 Samasrayanam An article by Sri Karalappakam Anantha Padhmanabhan Neccessity for Spiritual Knowledge: Any intelligent person will have queries like "Who am I?"; "Who is God?"; "What is my duty?"; "Why am I suffering through the process of birth, old age, disease and death?"; "What is death?"; "What is the relationship between myself and God?"; etc. These are highly important queries which leads one to realize the actual realities. The fact is that, everyone is individually a spiritual entity called jIvAtmA, who is eternally subservient to the Supreme Lord Sriman NArAyanA. Due to the karmA (good and bad activities) associated with the jIvAtmA, it takes varieties of bodies like that of a bacteria, plant, bird, animal, human being etc. It is very very rare to get a human body. Once a jivAtmA gets the highly precious human body, he ('he' refers to jIvAtmA eventhough there is no gender associated) has to start enquring about the actual purpose of life. There are many varieties of knowledge floating around. But he has to pick up the 'sAram'(essence). He should choose that type of knowledge which will answer the important queries as raised above. These fundamental queries are answered by the spiritual knowledge. Materialistic knowledge (as explained by modern science etc) finally doesn't help the jIvAtmA. For instance, a glorified Nobel Laureate may take the body of donkey in the next birth. What is then the credit of being a Nobel Laureate in his human birth? The purpose of human birth is to have the realisation of God (Sriman NArAyanA).

  • Ariyakudi Ramanuja Iyengar
    ARIYAKUDI RAMANUJA IYENGAR Prof. V. V. Sadagopan The Golden Jubilee of Ariyakudi Ramanuja Iyengar's musical career was celebrated recently. Half a century, by all known standards, is a long period for a musician to maintain continued popularity. He is 76. Even if we exclude the first 10 years when he was rising in the profession, we have a period offorty years during which he has remained continuously at the top. His popularity is truly phenomenal; over many years he has been a major influence in the field of Karnatak Music. Two generations of musicians who came after him have adopted in varying degrees his techniques in music and concert-craft. The different styles of later musi­ cians, almost all of them, have their roots in the tradition and style refined and propagated by him. The other major tradition belongs to Maharaja­ puram Visvanatha Iyer, another equally great performer. The significance of Ariyakudi's art and life becomes clear as we take a historical perspective of things. At the dawn of the present century, there began a wave of enthusiasm for theoretical studies in Karnatak music. Much was made of the printed word and notation. Books were written in Telugu and Tamil, and the theory and rules of grammar put forward generally conflicted with one another and were often at variance with practice and yet were avidly swallowed by music-lovers and musicians at various levels of understanding. Among the latter those who took to the textual theories were not always first-rate exponents of the art. The main body of expert musicians, however, was concerned mainly with the execution of the art as such, and most of them were dedicated nadopasa­ kas.

  • Challenges of Translating Classical Tamil Poetry Into French
    Challenges of Translating Classical Tamil Poetry into French: The Tiruppavai as Example VASUMATHI BADRINATHAN Abstract This article focuses on classical Tamil poetry, represented by the Tiruppavai of Andal. The article seeks to understand the challenges of translating from Tamil into French, of a poetry that is non-contemporary, and which communicates layered meanings relating to religion, metaphysics, spirituality, nature and simply, the self. While every literary translation poses difficulties, translating classical Tamil poetry comes with a set of challenges by way of being spatially, temporally, contextually and even to an extent, linguistically removed from the present. Which route should the translator take: Faithful reproduction, brave reinvention or a middle path? The corpus for this article is drawn from two translations in French of the Tiruppavai that are studied and compared in this perspective. Keywords: Poetry, Tiruppavai, Tamil, French, Translation. Introduction The world of translation is replete with contemporary works of literature. Literary works in translation belonging to earlier periods, though not absent, find a negligible place in this scene apart from academic circles. The reasons for this could be many. The difficulties imposed by the cultural ethos and mysticism of India as a whole could be a challenge, coupled with its linguistic complexities. The lack of interest for poetry in readers could be another factor. The religiosity and spiritual element in classical poetry could be yet another reason which publishers fear may not resonate with contemporary readers and which makes publishing such translation difficult. This DOI: 10.46623/tt/2020.14.1.ar6 Translation Today, Volume 14, Issue 1 Vasumathi Badrinathan article relies on a corpus of two translations from Tamil into French of the Tiruppavai: one by the renowned Indologist and scholar, Jean Filliozat in 1972 and the other by this author in 2019.
