Manavala Mamunvan / AArthi Prabhandham
From the Bhakti List Archives
• February 6, 1997
Srimathe Ramanujaya Nmaaha Si Rukmani Samedha Sri Venkatakrishna ParaBrahmane Namaha. This refers to smilarities of the 2 great acharyas. I think, It has been generally understood that the later acharyas after Manavala mamunigal and Vedanta Desika had created many vyakyanas which will establish and emphasis clearly the differences of the great 2. I think that was the reason for todays situation. I cant blame anyone because as per Manavala mamunigal we have to be happy with the acharyas teachings. "Erul tharuma nyalathe inbamurru vashum Therul tharuma desikanai chernthu" - oopadesa rathina malai Also we can appreciate the amount of contribution made by both the acharyas to vaishnivism which is immeasurable but it is very difficult to reconcile the differences. To me it is a mystrey. Just like Thirumashisai Alwar 's origin which was floating aroud a few weeks back. The aarthi prabhandham is a mind boggling and heart melting work which I have tried to read many times and unable to stop crying every time. If you read it you can make out (without the help of any historian) that this work was just created at or about the time any one would go to Thirunadu. It is really heartbreaking and fyi we are not advised/ allowed/ encouraged to learn this. We are supposed to learn it only at a ripe age after learning everything else. Probably that is why I broke the rule to learn it I think. One more ..... Avanukku Avane Uphayam. Means = God Ends = God This is what makes it very difficult and we need so much help in understanding, I guess. Forgive me for any mistakes. Adiyaan Murali Vanamamala i
