Srimate Ramanujaya Namaha

Namaskaram Swamy,

Adiyen is an ardent devotee of Swamy for the past ten years.  Thank you very much Swamy for clarifying many doubts through EnPani discourses.  Adiyen kindly requests Swamy to clarify these doubts.

  1. Swamy used to mention in discourses that Azhwars and Acharyas were born as Amsangal of certain Nithyasurigal. For example,

               Sri Poigai Azhwar as amsam of Sri Sankham

               Sri Thirumazhasai Azhwar as amsam of Sri Sudharsana Chakram

               Sri Periyazhwar as amsam of Sri Garudan

               Swamy Ramanuja as amsam of Sri Adiseshan and Pancha aayudhangal

               Swamy Koorathazhwar as amsam of Srivatsam 

          Adiyen’s doubt is how it is being derived that Azhwars and Acharyas are Amsangal of such and such                Nithyasurigal?

 

  1. Once a jivathma reaches Sri Vaikuntham, it has no connection with this leelaviboothi. 

          We offer our prayers to Archa Moorthigal of Azhwars and Acharyas.  When we pray to them here in                   leelaviboothi, will they know that we are offering our prayers to them?

          How do Azhwars and Acharyas bless us when they are as Archa Moorthigal?

Please consider these doubts and clarify them Swamy.

Adiyen,

Venkhatesh.

Srimathe Ramanujaya Namah!
Sri Sriranga Narayana Jeeyar Swamigale Saranam!
Sri Velukkudi Swamigal Thiruvadigale Saranam!

Adiyen has heard in one of swami’s responses that even when we do pithru kariyam, more than our fore father’s being happy, it’s actually Perumal who becomes more happy, since we followed the sastrams given by Him. Bottom line, whatever we do that makes Perumal happy, we strive to do it. We all know, serving His devotees make Him more happy than actually serving or worshipping Him.

It may not be a direct answer but adiyen humbly thought it was a relevant answer for your 2nd question.

Can we please get more replies on this question? Those who know please enlighten us in detail.

As far as adiyen remember swami said that Ramanujar does not know that this atma with name xyz and this & this characteristics prays to him. But Ramanujar knows that some atma is praying and so we should bless that atma.
Not sure if adiyen understood properly. Requesting others to clarify!
