Knowing the Lord - The story of Srinivasa Kalyanam (Final Episode –17)
Re-publishing the story of Srinivasa Kalyanam from the TTD website in 17 installments.
At the palace entrance, Lord Srinivasa is received by Akasa Raja with full honors and taken in procession on an elephant to the palace for the marriage. In the presence of all the Devas, Lord Srinivasa weds Princess Padmavati, thus blessing Akasa Raja. …..The End.
Agama and establishing Ramanuja mutts all over. He appointed 74 Jeeyars to propagate the Vaishnava sampradayam. These Jeeyars are spread
throughout India including Ayodhya.
Importance of Prapatthi: Ramayana and Mahabharata illustrate the impor tance of prapatthi and kainkarya. In spite of creating the
Mahabharata war leading to the destruction of the Kauravas, when time came for Lord Krishna to leave the planet, he felt that he did not do
enough justice to the prapatthi (sharanagathi) made by Draupadi during the attempted disrobing in the court of Kauravas. Rama declared that
even if the enemy were to surrender, he would forgive and protect them. Ravana, who did not seek sharanagathi, was slain. On the other hand,
Kakasura (Indra’s son Jayantha disguised as the demon crow) during the vana-vasa time, in spite of committing a bigger blunder than Ravana,
was forgiven at the merciful recommendation of Sita as Kakasura came back in preparation of sharanagathi. Lakshmi devi is a personification of
the Lord’s compassion (daya) and is ever ready to plead God (Sriman Narayana) for forgiveness and protection, provided that we perform
prapatthi. Thus, prapatthi (sharanagathi) and compassion form the core of Sri Vaishnava philosophy.
Ananya sheshatvam, ananya dasyathvam, ananya bhogyathvam, and ananya gathithvam form the four pillars of Sri Vaishnava philosophy.
Ananya sharanathvam means not seeking shelter at anybody other than Sriman Narayana or his devotees. Ananya dasyathvam means being sub-
servient only to Sriman Narayana or his pure devotees. Ananya bhogyathvam means, I am for the enjoyment of Sriman Narayana only. Ideally.
every action (eating, worshiping, etc.) performed by a Sri Vaishnava, is for the pleasure of Sriman Narayana only. Ananya gathithvam means
having no other way other than Sriman Narayana. Ramanuja stressed that for a Sri Vaishnava, the means (upaya) and the end (upeya) are Sriman
Narayana.
Ramanuja’s 1000th birthday will be in 2017. On May 2nd of this year, His Holiness Sri Tridandi Ramanuja Chinna Jeeyar Swamy will be inaugu-
rating a large scale project to constructing a memorial that will depict the life history of Bhagavath Ramanuja.
