Welcome to Adiyen Sri Ramanuja Dasan !
" Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha !"
Annamaacharya and sreevaishnavam
Even though annamayya was born in a saiva brahmana family, he received vaishnavam at an younger age itself by undergoing panchasamskaaram at tirumala by a great sreevaishnava acharyan vnamed, ganavishnu yathi. and he mastered the vishistaadvaitha siddantham by another great acharyan srimad aadhivaan sathagopa jeeyar, the first jeeyar of ahobila mutt. hence we can see the essence of vishistaadvaitham doctrine and the essence of divyaprabandam, mainly that of tirupaavai of sri andal and other works of nammalwar, etc... in the form of kirtanas in telugu, composed and sung by saint annamacharya.
Annamayya composed many songs on the tiruvadi of sri yathirajar bagavad ramanujacharya and the following one is one of adiyen's favorite.
Annamaacharya Glorifies Bagavad Ramanujacharya..
1) Ghatulanni khilamaina kaliyuga mandunu !
Gathi yitaday chupay ghana guru daivamu !!
Meaning : In the evil ways of Kaliyuga, He showed the path, the great guru and God.
2) Yitani Karunaneka Yila Vaisnavula maiti -
mitani vallane kanti mee tirumani
Yitadeka upadesa miccheyn astakshari mantram -
mitaday Raamanujulu yihaparadaivamu
Meaning : isn't it because of his compassion, we have become vaisnnavas,
Because of him, we could find the Tiruman
It is he who initiated us into Astakshari mantram
He is Sri Ramanuja, the god of this world and also the higher worlds
3) velayince nitadaykavedapu rahasyamulu
chalimi nitade chupay saranagathi
nilipina itadeka nijamudhradharanamu
malasi Ramanujulay mataladay daivamu
Isn't he the one who revealed the vedic secrets
With great benevolence, he showed the path of saranagathi
Isn't he the one who established the real Mudhra dharana ( samashrayana and bhrasamarpanam)
In total, Ramanuja is verily the speaking God
4) Niyamamu lithadayka nilipay brapannulaku
dayato mokshmu chupay daga nitaday
Nayamai Sri venkateshunaga mekke vakitanu
damujuchi mammu nitte talli tandri daivamu
Isn't he the one who laid the rules for Prapannas
With compassion, he is the one who showed us mpoksham
Having benificially climbed Lord Venkateshwara's hill,
He blesses us at the doorway, as mother, father and god.
Jai Srimannaryana !
