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.

  • Sri Vaishnava Sampradaya Saara Nidhi(In Tamil) by Sri P.B.Annangarachariar Swamy
    Sri VaishNaVa Sampradaya Saara Nidhi(in Tamil) By Sri P.B.Annangarachariar Swamy (The quintessence of of VaishNaVa Tradition) English Translation by Vengrai Parthasarathy Many are the ‘Living Creatures’ created by Brahma, the Lord of Creation (who is himself a creation of Sri Narayana). To be born a Human is a special privilege. And, to be born as a Hindu, that too a Sri VaishNaVa is a matchless blessing, because it is the cumulative effect or fruit of generational virtuous deeds (Karma). At the same time this privileged position carries with it many an obligation. To enhance its value, a true VaishNaVa has to know what the tradition is about and follow certain daily duties (dinacharya) or guide-lines. Lord Maha Vishnu, (known also as Narayana and Vasudeva among a thousand other names) manifested Himself in many AvatArs on earth to animate house-holders who may have lost their spiritual moorings and to crush evil doers and protect the virtuous (ParitharANAya SadhunAm, vinAashAya dushskruthAm). Archa-s are consecrated idols in the Divya Desam-s (108) the most prominent of which are Tirumalai, Srirangam, KAnchipuram, and TirunArayanapuram (Melkote) shrines. To bring home these truths the Lord has deputed Azhvar-s and Acharyas in human form. VaishNaVas are expected to follow sincerely the daily observances' (anushtAnam-s). We shall now follow through the highlights, by citing important things that Sri VaishnavA-s should know and do.. The Bhakthi cult was propagated by the Azhvar-s and the shrines cited by them are known as DIVYA DESAMs. The word ‘Divya’ has been employed by our ancestors very elegantly.Of all the religious literature on the Supreme Being, Sriman Narayana, the most important are the Sastra-s (in Sanskrit ) and –of equal importance--the Tamil Veda known as DIVYA PRABHANDHAM.

  • Manavala Mamuni Thiruvarasu
    Sri: 2 the fearful howls of jackals. In place of the aroma of the smoke The Need of the hour - Sri Manavalamamunighal from the sacred fires in the Brahmin settlements, there was now the stink of raw meat spreading amid shouts of drunken Thiruvarasu Project : Restoration of the soldiers”.

Yet mortals do what they can; genius does what it must. Within thirty years, Sri Manavalamamunighal had re- stored Srirangam to its former architectural, intellectual, cultural and spiritual magnificence. His achievements peaked from 1432-1433 when he faithfully embellished Nampillai's Idu lecture. Lord Ranganatha, listening awestruck and mesmerized, then accepted Sri Manavalamamunighal as His acharya: "Srisailesa dayapatram dhibhaktyadi gunarnavam ACTION COMMITTEE Yatindra pravanam vande Ramyajamataram munim" [I offer my respects to Sri Manavalamamunighal, the H.H.Tridandi Chinna Srimannarayana receptacle of Srisailesa's (Tiruvaimozhi Pillai's) grace.

This idol is very special to all VaishNavas. It is said that sometime before Ramanuja left this earth for SriVaikuNTam (the abode of the Supreme Lord, where all souls are in a state of permanent bliss serving the Lord), his devotees wanted to install an image of him at his birthplace. So, they approached Ramanuja, and sought permission. Ramanuja gave permission, and the idol was made. This idol is said to be an exact image of how Ramanuja was during his life. When the idol was shown to him, Ramanuja embraced the image. Ramanuja’s devotees believe that Sri Ramanuja in Sri Perumbudur through this process, he transferred Himself onto this idol. This idol was then installed at SriperumbUdUr.

  • 1 SRI RÂMÂNUJACHARYA Glimpses of His Life and Times
    SRI RÂMÂNUJACHARYA Glimpses of His Life and Times INTRODUCTION: THE ACHARYAS To adapt Thomas Carlyle famous dictum, Hinduism (Sanatana Dharma) can be termed as a chronicle of the biographies of India’s great religious teachers/Acharyas. The triumvirate of the most eminent Acharyas, Adhi Sankara, Râmânuja, and Madhva synthesized and formulated the Advaita, Vishishtàdvaita, and Dvaita philosophy, as Non-dualism, Qualified non-dualism, and Dualism respectively. Key source texts for the three, main Hindu philosophical schools of Vedanta are referred to as the Prasthanathrayi--canonical texts of the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gità, and the Brahmasutras –they are thought of as the link between the individual and cosmic soul, and as conduits to Lord’s grace Sri Sankaracharya (788-820) was the foremost Acharya, the first torch-bearer of Hinduism, to put forward a cogent and clear analysis and interpretation of the Vedantha texts.
