Sri Ramanuja MUnaye Namaha,
Sri Velukkudi Krishnan Swami Guruve Namaha,
Dear All BHagavAtas,
Thai Punarpusam was our Acharyar Embar (Govinda BHattar) Swami’s ThiruNakshatram. Sri Velukkudi Krishnan Swami has informed about Upanyasam on Jan 20th about Embar Swami on HIS ThiruNakshatram.
Adiyen is copy pasting about EMbar Swami’s Vaibhavam from a GuruParamparai blog based on Swami’s upanyasam. Please also listen to Swami’s GuruParamparai Upanyasam series in TTD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7GSvDDbqHc. It’s been a while, so adiyen not sure of the exact episode number where Swami says about Embar Swami’s Vaibhavam.

Embar Swami Thaniyan:
rAmAnuja padha chAyA gOvindhAhva anapAyinI
thadhA yaththa svarUpA sA jIyAn madh visramasthalee
ராமானுஜ பதச் சாயா கோவிந்தாஹ்வ அநபாயிநீ
ததா யத்த ஸ்வரூபா ஸா ஜீயாந் மத் விச்ரமஸ்தலீ
[gOvindha bhattar who is inseparable from srI rAmAnuja like the shadow of the lotus feet and the one who realised his true nature by taking refuge at srI rAmAnuja’s lotus feet, is the shade giving abode for me (where I can be relieved from my miseries). Let that embAr be victorious.]
