May He bless this attempt [though adiyEn is completely disqualified for the same]. Just due to the sadAchaarya sambandham, adiyEn gains strength and commences this task. adiyEn closely follows Sri UttamUr Swami's wonderful vyAkhyAnam. Swami Ramanuja’s unparalleled glories have been sung by Amudhanaar in very sadagopan.org many ways and in different notes in this most wonderful and vine verses. While he did praise Ramanuja’s glories, he [amudhanaar] sings lowly of himself with naichyaanusanthAnam concurrently. The involvement of Ramanuja’s on the sweet AzhwAr’s sreesookthis; Srimad Ramayana, Sri Bhagavad Gita is enlisted here in these verses. Also the scholarship, the logical arguments and saasthric proof with which he [Sri Ramanuja] conquered the others non-vedic and avaidika religions and philosophies; the intense and deep devotion of Emperumaanaar Sri Ramanuja on archA murthys of Sriman Narayana are all glorified herein. The difference and uniqueness of Ramanuja as against the Lord Himself, the achaarya aikaanthyam are also nicely touched upon by Amudhanaar movingly. One may here, read about the glories of acharya and sing; here Amudhanaar saw with his own naked eyes and enjoyed the glories of Emperumaanaar and 1 thus bursts out with tremendous acharya bhakti with all these divinely beautiful verses. Hence this is grander. First seven verses are ubOdhgAtham. Then, Ramanuja’s bhakti for all AzhwArs is mentioned. In the beginning of this work, with two verses, Ramanuja’s special affinity and reverence for the two AzhwArs namely Paraankusa, Parakaala dhivua suris. Both these AzhwArs [Parankusa- Nammaazhwaar; Parakala- Thirumangai Azhwaar] have sung more than 1200 verses each and have immensely helped us with great upakaaram of these wonderful srisukthis which are none other than the four Vedas and six Veda angaas. The rendering of Nammaazhwaar srisookthis and the Uthsavam for him were varied out by Thirumangai Azhwaar himself during his period in Srirangam. Nammaazhwaar has enshrined in his Thiruvaaymozhi the Upanishad meemaamsa saareeraka saasthrA- the essence of Brahma suthra and has sung thousand verses. Also he is the prapanna jana santhAna kooTashthar. Emperumanaar Sri Ramanuja had arranged to have these thousand verses of Nammaazhwaar as well as the thousand verses of Thirumangai AzhwAr [who had begun this uthsavam] sung during the month of maargazhi. Also these two AzhwArs had sadagopan.org taken the roles of Naayaki as Paraankusa, Parakala naayaki and have sung verses in those roles languishing for His love and saving “her”. In view of the foregoing, these two AzhwArs have been sung herein specifically and exclusively. 2 THE FIRST VERSE OF AMUDHANAAR’S IRAAMAANUSA NOORRANTHATHI: 骲ÝÒ ªßÇ ¼©ß̨ۧÔë ªßìÙ©²Ý* É¡¯Ûª­Ó¨Û§- ©ßª²ÝÒ ªß±²Ý* ó¥Õ©¦Ó¨ÛÇ ÷ëÛ¨Û§®²Ý* ©­Ü¡¿­½ëßìÙ- §ßªÛª²Ý² ®¨Û§ õìߪң²Ý* £ìæì®Ó¨Û§ªÛ- ¨ßªÛª²Ý²Ó ®ß¯* ¼¨¤Ý½£! ¼£ß­Üͽ®ßªÛ ó®²Ý ¨ßª¢Ü¡½°.

SarvEshwaran is the One who has Periya PiraaTTi MahAlakshmi, (seated on Lotus Flower) permanently residing in His Chest. NammAzhwAr blessed us with the Divine Thiruvaaymozhi which is an excellent description of most auspicious kalyANA guNAs of SarvEshwaran Sriya: Pathi Sriman Narayanan. Sri Ramanuja took refuge and immersed himself at the Lotus feet of Sri SadagOpar- NammAzhwAr. The great scholars, who have studied and mastered various saashthrAs, have realized the greatness of Sri Ramanuja (and his philosophy/ doctrine) and have surrendered to His feet as the only means for them. Oh mind! In order to enables ourselves and let us also be saved by taking refuge at the Lotus Feet of Sri Ramanujacharya, come and let us utter the divine names of Sri Ramanujacharya! COMMENTS BY SRI UTTAMUR SWAMI: AzhwArs were called so due to their immersing themselves in the glories of Thirumaal Sriya: Pathi Sriman Narayana. NammaazhwAr calls Him as “num thiruvudai adigaL; ahagillEn iRaium enRu alarmEl mangai uRai maarbhan; numakkum poovin misai nangaikkum naathan; Thiru naaraNan thaaL; ninnANai ThiruvaaNai” thus declaring everywhere Sriman Narayana as LaksmI Pathi and sadagopan.org paying his obeisance to them as Dhivya Dampathi; enjoying as one Divine pair. vEri maaRaadha poomEliruppAL vinai theerkka- in order to dissolve all our sins, She resides eternally in His divine chest. Nammazhwar’s verses exhibit His and Her kalyANa guNas; parathva sowlabhyas and thus sang thousand verses on Them reaching the final crescendo attaining His Lotus Feet gloriously. Thus he is above all sages and other AzhwArs as well. He is in our Acharya parampara and thus we are blessed with such great Guru parampara from NammazhwAr as Prapanna jana santhAna kooTasthar- contemplated Sri Ramanuja and enjoyed reciting these verses of his again and again and also arranged for the Araiyar Uthsavam for the same. Thus he has become the idhatthaay for Thiruvaaymozhi. That is the greatness of Our Ramanuja. Not only that. He had transformed the kuDhrushTis to suDhrushTis. He had the ability to change them by quoting the appropriate vedic hymns and Vedanta 4 saasthrAs. The different streams and rivers of all fields of learning take birth in him like the waterfalls from the Thirumala mountain. This in order to establish the divine words of SatakOpa [Parankusa] and grant to the world, he took birth as Ramanuja and if one takes refuge at his feet, [he] would be blessed with clarity in understanding ubhaya vEdantha namely the Vedas, Vedanthas and the Tamil Veda- Dhivya prabandhams and be blessed with the adherence to the saathrAs in anushtAnam as well and the best of life here and there. Contemplating his such wonderful glories in our minds, let us utter his divine names [understanding their meanings] Ramanuja, YathirAja, Emperumanaar, Udayavar, Sri Bhashyakarar, etc. Since his birth, he was given the name of Ramanujan. This name is also addressed to Lakshmana and Lord Krishnan [Rama + anujan = Rama’s younger brother]. Our Ramanuja is blessed with great anubhavams and with kaimkarya ruchi and hence he was LakshmaNo Lakshmi Sampanna; Sri Sampannar. In Yathiraja sapthathi SamithOdhayaSankarAdhigarvai: svabalaadhuGrutha yaadhava prakaaSa: | aCharOpithavAn sruthErapArThAn nanu rAmAvaraja: sthra yEva bhUya: || sadagopan.org Swamy Desikan equates Ramanuja as KaNNan [Krishna]. bharathAra param namO[S]sthu thasmai praThamOdharaNAya bhakti bhAjAm. wherein he is equated to Bharata; Since he also has tremendous acharya, azhwaAr bhakti, he is Sathrugnan; [serving and His devotees / BhAgawathas] After Rama, he is the one who performed the way of life in accordance with saasthrAs; established dharma; and varNAsrama dharma; saraNAgatha rakshaNam [saving those who surrendered to him]. Thus he is Rama’s anujanm in all respects. He appeared after AndAL [who is also called Raamaa-RamyathE ithi Raamaa:] He followed the foot steps of Periya PiraaTTi Mahalakshmi [the most compassionate One who does not at all know punishment; who knows only daya, and forgiveness for all our trespasses] and accepts all those who take refuge 5 in him with infinite mercy and daya on them. Like SrI. Hence Rama’s anujan. [Rama- Mahalakshmi] Whenever we enjoy reading this name Ramanuja, all the above glories of his name should be contemplated. palkalaiyOr- it means those who have learnt different saasthrAs; vedanthas; Vedas etc.

Date: 3 December 2019 Student number: u12083802 __________________________ 2 Foreword I started my MTh and was unsure of a topic to cover. I knew that Hinduism was the religion I was interested in. Dr. Sukdaven suggested that I embark on the study of the concept of Maya. Although this concept provided a challenge for me and my faith, I wish to thank Dr. Sukdaven for giving me the opportunity to cover such a deep philosophical concept in Hinduism. This concept Maya is deeper than one expects and has broaden and enlightened my mind. Even though this was a difficult theme to cover it did however, give me a clearer understanding of how the world is seen in Hinduism. 3 List of Abbreviations AD Anno Domini BC Before Christ BCE Before Common Era BS Brahmasutra Upanishad BSB Brahmasutra Upanishad with commentary of Sankara BU Brhadaranyaka Upanishad with commentary of Sankara CE Common Era EW Emperical World GB Gitabhasya of Shankara GK Gaudapada Karikas Rg Rig Veda SBH Sribhasya of Ramanuja Svet.

  • Lecture 2: Vivekananda and Vedanta Philosophy the Meaning of “Vedanta”
    Lecture 2: Vivekananda and Vedanta Philosophy The meaning of “vedanta” The word vedanta can be split into two: veda and anta and literally means “end of the Vedas”. Veda is derived from the root word vid which means “to know”. ‘Vedanta’ should be taken to mean the distilling of the philosophy of the Vedas and the Upanishads into its essential components. The Himalayan range of Upanishadic thought must be catalogued and classified so that we can comprehend it. Vivekananda’s view of Vedanta Just as the word ‘science’ does not refer to a specific subject, but rather to a method of understanding the physical world, Vivekananda views Vedanta as a method to understand both the internal world of the mind and consciousness and the external world of matter. Thus, Vedanta includes science and all forms of human creative endeavor that represent attempts to comprehend infinity in its manifold forms. Six systems of philosophy Nyaya, vaisesika, Samkhya, yoga, purva mimamsa and Vedanta. These translate as: logical realism, realistic pluralism, evolutionary dualism, disciplined meditation, preliminary interpretation of the Vedas, and synthesis of the Vedas, respectively. The systems correspond to the sutra period ranging from 200 CE to 600 CE. Early 19th century translations by European Indologists such as Max Muller had a Judeo- Christian coloring. The three schools of Vedanta Vedanta itself is divided into three schools: dvaita, visistadvaita, and advaita, corresponding to dualism, qualified dualism and non-dualism. The expansion of these schools belongs to the scholarly period: 600 CE to 1700 CE. The principal exponents of these schools were Shankara (advaita), Ramanuja (visistadvaita), and Madhva (dvaita).

  • Significant Persons/Founders
    Significant Persons/ Founders Historical Figures Aksapada Gautama (600 BCE): Aksapada Gautama is believed to be, at the very least, the principal author of Nyaya Sutras, the foundational text of the Nyaya school of Hindu philosophy. Nyaya comprises both philosophical and religious practices. Its ultimate concern is to bring an end to human suffering, which results from ignorance of reality. Liberation is brought about through right knowledge. Nyaya is thus concerned with the means of right knowledge and right action. The date when the text was composed as well as the biography of its author are uncertain. Estimates vary significantly ranging from between 6th-century BCE to 2nd-century BCE. As well, it is believed that the Nyaya Sutras may have been written by more than one author, and perhaps over a long period of time. A sutra is a Sanskrit word that means “string, thread,” and is a condensed manual of knowledge of a specific field or school of thought. Each sutra is written in the form of a short rule, like a theorem summarized into few words or syllables, around which the teachings of any field of knowledge can be woven. The Nyaya Sutras text consists of five books of two chapters each, with a cumulative total of 528 sutras about rules of reason, logic, knowledge, and metaphysics. Kanada (6th Century BCE to 2nd Century BCE): Kanada (also known as Kashyapa, Uluka, Kananda, and Kanabhuk) founded the Vaisheshika school of Hindu philosophy. The Vaisheshika system holds that the smallest, indivisible, indestructible part of the world is an atom (anu).

  • Samkhya Philosophy
    Samkhya Philosophy Yoga Veda Institute Samkhya Philosophy Introduction to Samkhya Äyurveda is literally translated as ‘Knowledge of Life’. So, even though this knowledge may be scientific, it is also very much a philosophical view of life. There are six major philosophical views, or perspectives in India. Think of it as an object, which can be viewed six dierent ways- you can have a frontal view, back view, birds eye view, a long distant view, an extreme close up, and so on. Similarly, Knowledge and Life can also be seen with dierent perspectives. In India, it’s reered to as the Shad Darshan {the six philosophies of life}. These six perspectives or philosophies, whereby, we view or experience ‘life’ are: • Samkhya {Theory of creation, Duality and Enumeration} Seer Kapila Muni • Nyaya {Logic and Reasoning} Seer Gautama Rishi • Vaisheshika {Unique Aspect} Seer Kanada • Mimasa {Ritual} Seer Jaimani • Yoga {Union – practical application of Sankhya} Seer Patanjali • Vedanta {Study of Veda Sutras} Seer Veda Vyasa In this program we are focusing on Samkhya, and Vedanta. Among these six perspectives and philosophies Äyurveda has been inuenced most by Samkhya. There have been inuences from other philosophies like Mimamsa, Yoga and Vedanta as well. Samkhya Philosophy Definition of Samkhya Samkhya Philosophy translates as “Theory of Numbers or Enumeration” and subtle principle of energies that govern the universe, and all the living entities. It is impossible to understand Äyurveda without understanding Samkhya Philosophy. Mentions of Samkhya are found in various ancient texts, however, we will focus on ‘Bhagavata Purana’ and teachings of Kapila, and Caraka Samhita. Samkhya is one of the six perspectives or philosophies that inuenced Äyurveda.
