SRI ALAVANDAR VAIBHAVAM

DEAR VIEWERS
In todays message from our blog we will enjoy reading SRI ALAVANDARS VAIBHAVAM . Sri Alavandar was born in the year 976 in aadi month uthrashada
star to Eswara Bhattazhwan at Veeranarayanapuram.He is the grandson of
Sriman Nathamunigal.He studied poorvameemamsa and uttarameemamsa under
Sri Mahabhashya Bhattar and also studied tharka, vyakarana,and other related
sastras and became a scholor.He once defeated a vidhwan by name AAKKIYAZHWAN in tarka sastra and got a portion of kingdom from the king and
enjoying the same.
As Sriman Nathamunigal wished him to be a srivaishnavite and has to take the
Acharya peedam at Srirangam, his sishyar Manakkal Nambigal approched him
and explain about the SRIRANGASRI and at once Sri Alavandar rushed to
Srirangam and was blessed by SriRanganathar, became the Srivaishnava sanyasi
hence Alavandar was the first Jeer in our srivaishnava sampradayam,
He was administrating the Srirangam Temple and expecting some one to be
his follower for the post.He heared about Sri Ramanujar who was at kanchi at
that time studying under YADHAVAPRAKASAR, a adhvaitha sanyasi.
He came kanchi and saw him from faraway and blessed him as his successor.
He lived for 125 years and rendered a great service to Srivaishnavam by
writing about eight grandhas ( books )

ACHARYA AVATARA

DEAR VIEWERS

as I mentioned in the last message bhagavan sriman narayanan himself born as alwars
and acharyas means He created his hamsas i.e characters as alwars and acharyas that is
why they are called ABHINAVA DASAVATARAS and asfaras acharyas concerned they are His
hamsaboothas.so the alwars and acharyas are also equal to him and from our level we are
worshipping them as worshipping HIM.

In ramavataram Srirama felt the greatness of acaharyas like VASHISHTA, BHARATHWAJA,
VISWAMITHRA, RISHYASRINGHA, DHANDAKARANYARISHIS ETC and he would be like to take such
an avatara of acharya in his some other birth in the earth.
Hence in KIRSHNAVATARA He gave Bhagavadgita to Arjuna and His deciple and showof Him
as GEETHACHARYAN. swami Manavalamamunigal in his prabhandham upadesarathinamalai says:

Alwargalaiyum arulicheyalgalaiyum thazhva ninapavargal tham naragil
veezhvargal enru ninaithu nenje nee avarpal senru anuga koocithiru.

ALWARS AND ACHARYAS

Sriman Narayanan is the first Acharyan in our srivaishnava sampradayam
He in turn gave upadesam of MAHAMANTRA to Nara at Badri sthalam.By chanting
this mahamantra everyone should attain the lotus feet of HIM .
But against his dreams humanbeings still wants only materialistic life
and not intersting to reach HIM.
Hence he came to this earth by taking AVATARAS.except in some avatars
he is not able to convince lot of human beings and his dasavataras are known
to everybody.
Not satisfying himself HE again take some avataras like humans to catch
them as elephants are ised to catch forest elephants and deers too.
These avataras of Him OUR GREAT ALWARS who in turn create,chant and gave
in total 4000 versus pasurams about sriman narayanan.
Though they wrote these pasurams either they have published them to people
or taught to some sishyas i.e deciples to propaganda the same.
Hence this time also He is not able to collect more human beings to his side.
swami manvalamamunigal in his upadesarathinamalai prapandham narrates the alwars:

POIGAIAYR BOOTHATHAR PEYALWAR PUGAZHI MAZHISAI
AYYAN ARULMARAM SERALARKON-
THUYYA BHATTANATHAN ANBARTHAL THOOLI NANPANAN NANKALIYAN

acharya vandanam-GURUDHYANAM

dear viewers
in any religion GURU or ACHARYA is the most important fact and assuch HE is the person
who takes one to nearer to GOD. the very word GURU came from the letters GHA REPAM AND
UKARAM by means GURU is the person who is giving SIDDHI by upades(by gha)cleaning the
soul athma(bu repam) and taking this athma near vishnu(by ukaram).So with the help of
GURU ACHARYA only we can attain the BRHMAM- the LORD NARAYAN ACCORDING TO OUR vaishnava
sampradayam.hence ACHARYADHYANAM IS THE MOST IMPORTANT whenever you start a workof any
kind.
ASMAD GURUBYO NAMA
ASMAD PARAMA GURUBYO NAMA
