Sri:

As Thirumaalaiyandan Swamy taught Ramanuja the meanings of Thiruvaymozhi per the teachings of his acharya Swami Alavandar, at some places Ramanuja would propose a different explanation for the pasurams. At one point, Thirumaalaiyandan became upset with the alternate explanations proposed by Ramanuja and told him “These are not the meanings that I have heard from Alavandar. What you are doing is Vishvamitra srushti” and stopped teaching Ramanuja.

When Thirukottiyur Nambi heard that the lessons had stopped, he came to Srirangam and enquired with Thirumaalaiyandan as to what happened. When Thirumaalaiyandan told him what happened and the meanings suggested by Ramanuja, Thirukkottiyur Nambi told him “I have heard these additional meanings from Alavandar. Ramanuja listening to you is similar to Krishna learning from Sandipa. Ramanuja will not think of any meanings that was not in the mind of Alavandar. Do continue the teachings”.

So Thirumaalaiyandan Swamy did think it was inappropriate initially right?

Until we know the truth controversies will exist

@vikraminside swamy,

Thirumaalaiandan swamy’s opinion came out of the principle that one should follow poorvacharyargal teachings without trying to create new opinions. But then Thirukottiyur Nambi swamy clarified that these meanings were taught by Alawandhar swamy, it made Thirumaalaiandan Swamy realize that they were also poorvacharyargal teachings only. So what Thirumaalaiandan swamy thought earlier was also correct, what Thirukottiyur Nambi swamy said was also correct and both were emphasizing on “oor aan vazhi sampradayam” only.

Adiyen Ramanuja Dasan.

Absolutely. ” it made Thirumaalaiandan Swamy realize that they were also poorvacharyargal teachings only.”

So there was a difference until realization.

That’s what adiyen is emphasizing.

Until we know ACHARYA THIRU ULLAM

Difference may exist
