Actually, in general, the term Azhwar is used to refer to even those Adiyaars who permanently reside in Sri Vaikuntam with Emperumaan. They are called Nithyasuris. Chakrathazhwar, Garudazhwar, Thiruvananthazhwan, Senapathi Azhwan and such names are quite common.

1/n

 In fact, even for some Acharyas the term Azhwan has been suffixed to Their Thirunamams as a mark of Their strikingly deep Bhakthi. Eg: Sri Koorathazhwan, Sri Milagazhwan.

2/n
That being said, the term Azhwar is primarily used to refer to those specific Bhakthas who were gifted with purest gnanam (mayarvara mathinalam) by Sriman Narayana for the unique cause of revealing the 4000 Divya Prabandhas (also celebrated as Thamizh or Dravida Vedas).

3/n
Thereby, those 12 noble Devotees alone are included in the Azhwar list.

In case of Swami Ramanujacharya, the purpose of His Avathara was not to reveal the 4000 Divya Prabandhas but to enhance the spread of those 4000 Divya Prabandhas and Their glories.

4/n
Hence, Swami Ramanuja is in the Acharya goshti. However, two major points to note are:

1. Swami Ramanuja is none but Swami Nammazhwar's Divine Feet and His Avathara is an extension of Swami Nammazhwar's Avathara.

5/n
Swami Ramanuja fulfilled all wishes of Swami Nammazhwar incl. the very purpose of Swami Nammazhwar's original Avathara objective of uplifting Jivathmas. All these facts have been documented in the grantham Sri Charamopaya Nirnayam.

6/n
2. That Swami Ramanuja resides in the feet of all Azhwars is mentioned very clearly in the great Sri Ramanuja Nootranthathi. Hence, this reinforces the fact that Swami Ramanuja Avathara is an extension of Azhwar Avatharas but for a different, advanced purpose.

7/n
Thereby, Swami Ramanuja, an Avathara of Thiruvananthazhwan with the Shakthi of Panchayudha Azhwars as well, is not explicitly addressed as Azhwar but as the great Acharya who fulfilled the mission of Azhwars by being Their holy feet.

Adiyen Ramanujadasi ☺️🙏

Addendum:

#SriBhavishyathacharyar was the very first name using which Swami Ramanuja was referred to i.e. the Acharya of the Future whose birth was already indicated by Swami Nammazhwar to both Sri Madhurakavigal & Sriman Nathamunigal.
Sriman Nathamunigal was an Acharya who was born centuries before Swami Ramanuja and He learnt all 4000 Divya Prabandhas directly from Swami Nammazhwar. This was several centuries after Swami Nammazhwar attaining Sri Vaikuntam!!
Sriman Nathamunigal meditated on Swami Nammazhwar & Swami Nammazhwar appeared in front of Sriman Nathamunigal and taught the Acharya the Divya Prabandhas revealed by all 12 Azhwars!! So, Swami Nammazhwar is not only an Azhwar but also an Acharya!!
Swami Nammazhwar didn't stop there. He also revealed to Sriman Nathamunigal that a great Acharya would be born in the future to uplift all Prapannas. And, based on Sriman Nathamunigal's request, Swami Nammazhwar even gave a Vigraham of that yet-to-be-born Acharya for worship!
Thus, till the advent of Swami Ramanujacharya, all Acharyas born before Swami Ramanujacharya worshipped that Vigraham gifted by Swami Nammazhwar!! This was kept as a top secret and was revealed only to qualified Shishyas!
Summary:

* Sri Nammazhwar is the main Azhwar & all other Azhwars are akin to His Thirumeni parts.

* Sri Ramanujar is the main Acharya & all other Acharyas are akin to His Thirumeni parts.

* Sri Ramanujar is the divine feet of Sri Nammazhwar & thus, links Azhwars & Acharyas.

I understand the disappointment when our sects fight in full public view and the embarrassment thereof.

However, my concern is different, TBH.

Am even okay with all our infighting.

My problem is when we don't set those differences aside & join hands to face a common foe.

1/n


This maturity is not new to us - it has already been explained in the Mahabharatha!!

Yudhishtira tells his brothers to fight the Gandharvas & defend their cousins (Kaurava). This was *after* the game of dice, mark you.

2/n

When Bheema protested, Yudhishtira explains: "Between us & the Kauravas, we are 5, they are a hundred. In front of outsiders, however, we're a 105."

Sanathana Dharma has been there for time immemorial. It's natural that we have sects, unresolved disagreements, etc..

3/n

Abrahamics have sects for just a 2000-year existence. And they too bicker among themselves!!!

So, the real issue, IMHO, is forgetting to gather under our common identity.

4/n

If we try to silence voices or concerns of our internal sects for the sake of common unity, some people of the section that feels unheard may even shake hands with the very foe we're trying to vanquish. This is one of my greatest concerns.

*** முன்னுரை ***

ஸ்ரீ இராமானுச தரிசனம் என்ற ஸ்ரீ வைணவத்தில் ஸ்ரீ அனுமனைப் பற்றி ஆசாரியர்கள் கூறுவதை அனுபவிப்பதே இப்பதிவின் நோக்கம்.

ஸ்ரீ வால்மீகி இராமாயணத்தின்படி ஸ்ரீ அனுமனின் வாழ்க்கை நிகழ்வுகளை நான்காகப் பிரிக்கலாம்:

1. ஸ்ரீ இராமனைத் தரிசிக்கும் முன்

2. ஸ்ரீ இராமனைத் தரிசித்த பின் (அன்னை சீதையைத் தரிசித்துப் பேசும் முன்)

3. அன்னை சீதையைத் தரிசித்த பின்

4. ஸ்ரீ இராமனால் பேரன்புடன் அணைக்கப் பெற்ற பின்

*** பாகம் 1: ஸ்ரீ இராமனைத் தரிசிக்கும் முன் ***

1.1

வாயுதேவனின் முழு அருளைப் பெற்றுப் பிறந்ததால் தேகபலத்தில் ஒரு குறையும் இல்லை.

சிறு குழந்தையாக இருந்தபொழுது சூரியனைப் பழம் என்று எண்ணி வானில் தாவி ஆதவனை விழுங்க இருந்த நேரம், இந்திரன் தனது வஜ்ராயுதத்தால் தாடையில் அடிக்க, வாயுதேவனின் கோபத்தை ஆற்ற தேவர்கள் பல அறிய வரங்களை அருளினர்.

தேக பலத்துடன் வரபலமும் சேர்ந்தது!

மற்ற வானரர்கள் வாழ்வில் நடக்காத ஒரு நிகழ்ச்சி. வாயு புத்திரன் பீமனின் வாழ்வில் நடக்காத ஒரு நிகழ்ச்சி. இதிலிருந்தே ஸ்ரீ அனுமனின் ஜீவாத்மா ஒரு தனிப்பட்டச் சிறப்பை உடைய ஜீவாத்மா என்று உணரலாம்.

இராமாநுசரும் "இதற்குப் 'பரம்பொருள் ஆதவனால் அன்று அலர்த்தப்பட்டத் தாமரையைப் போன்றத் திருக்கண்கள் உடையவன்' என்று பொருள்" என உரைத்தார்.

#SanathanaDharma

Dear Friends, a few points to share regarding the Varna Ashrama Dharma.

Vested interests take advantage of our lack of awareness of this particular Dharma and project it as discriminatory.

1

More often than not, our own people give defensive replies to the accusations.

For example, when someone says "Hinduism is the worst religion as it discriminates based on birth" many of us reply like say "Isn't it there in faith Y?" or "It's based on profession" & such.

2

Varnashrama Dharma cannot be interpreted in isolation i.e. one has to understand & accept (at least) what the following mean to understand it in full:

1. Paramathma & Jivathma Thathvam
2. Karma-based Jananam, life events & Maranam
3. Narakam, Swargam & Moksham

3

The primary purpose of everyone's birth is to get out of the cycle of birth-death so that we can eternally serve Bhagawan and His Adiyaars.

Where has it ever been said that only Archakas & Yagnyopaveethadhaaris can get Gnanam & reach Moksham?? All are most welcome!!

4

Every Jivathma has been through loads & loads of janmas and has taken loads & loads of Karmic shareerams.

So, one being a Brahmana or Shudra in this birth doesn't mean anything. The same Jiva could've been a tree / animal in previous birth or may become one in the next!!

The Moon is one of the most important placements in a person’s birth chart. In astrology from the Islamic world, the Moon is central after the Ascendant for determining the character and nature of a person.

A thread on the Moon and its meanings-

Astrologers from the medieval Islamic world, noted the placement of the Moon as important for shaping a person’s life.

Doubly so for nocturnal births, but important for all. Al Khayyat, Mashallah, and Sahl interpreted the Moon through its placement in the signs.

Moon in Aries is quick to anger, the holding of grudges, and an easily wounded pride.

Headaches and vertigo are common as is fights with friends.

Moon in Taurus indicates the desire for sex and love is mingled with comfort and security.

They find joy in partnerships and leisure and food.

Moon in Gemini indicates a desire for women, men, and youths. They delight in words and coyness.

They speak truthful things though not always believed.

On his way back he came across tribal people from community called #Mathanga
He gave Darshan to them. The chief of the tribe asked him to keep coming back to guide their generations
Hanuman ji said that whoever recites this mantra

I will give them Darshan. But there are two conditions
1st he/she must know his relationship with me
2nd there must not be anyone around him in 950 mts radius. If present, that person must also know about my relationship with him /her.

He promised to come after every 41 yrs

The Mathangs also maintain a ‘logbook’ where they record all the words spoken and ‘leelas’ performed by Lord Hanuman.
They call him their Guru
Who teaches them how to live their lives.
A Sri Lankan organization called Setuu is studying this ‘logbook’ and also conduct

programmes for Hanuman devotees who can do ‘Sadhna‘ under the guidance of Setuu masters. Devotees who qualify all the criteria will be eligible for Hanuman’s ‘sakshaat darshan‘

“Don’t leave the church because of the people who hurt you. Nobody is perfect, only God”

I’ll explain why this comment is not only not helpful at all, but also very harmful.

1/

The comment assumes we can’t tell the difference between people and toxic theology, it assumes our issues are with a few people who are outliers and misrepresented God, and we just seem to think that’s the totality of divinity. Which makes us appear unintelligent and petty.

2/

But, that’s not the case at all. I didn’t leave because a few people hurt me in the name of God, in fact I stayed long enough to get hurt again, and again, and again, and again. Because it’s not a few bad apples hurting people in the name of God what we are dealing with.

3/

Instead we are talking about systemic abuse due to toxic theology that is taught as righteousness.

Go to any white evangelical church today and conduct all the tests you must to ensure only those who are “good Christians,” remain. I guarantee you people will be harmed there.
4/

Not because people just hurt people, not because Christians have good intentions but sometimes make mistakes; instead because the harm is caused due to indoctrination into toxic theology and a belief that their social and theological framework is not only good,

In the past, we had a glimpse of Lakshmana's devotion towards Sri Rama, his brother and father figure.

However, it is interesting to note his unique relationship with Sita, especially as seen by from her perspective.

Thread below

1/

We all know about the Golden Deer / Maricha incident and the way Sita influences Lakshmana to go in search of his brother.

Personally, I am unable to get 2 strong emotional points in one thread and hence, I will skip this incident for today.

2/

In Sundara Kanda, when Hanuman meets Sita, she says the following

सिंहस्कन्धो महाबाहुर्मनस्वी प्रियदर्शिनः।
पितृवद्वर्तते रामे मातृवन्मां समाचरन्।।

Lakshmana, who has lionshoulders and strong arms, who is handsome, who takes Rama as his father & treats me as his own mother

3/

ह्रियमाणां तदा वीरो न तु मां वेद लक्ष्मणः।
वृद्धोपसेवी लक्ष्मीवान् शक्तो न बहुभाषिता।।

Heroic Lakshmana, did not know while I was borne away. He is prosperous, foremost in serving elders. He is energetic and reserved in his speech like my father-in-law ..

4/

He is a prince dear (to his brother).

These are from Sarga-38, shlokas 60 and 61.

There are 3 distinct points which I want to draw the attention of the reader to.

1. She also compares Lakshmana to Dasaratha much like how Rama did when he constructed the hut in panchavati

Many RW Hindus with confused identity think that Hinduism accepts Atheists.

What do some of the Hindu sacred texts say on this topic? Let's see.


Shri Krishna was 100% clear on importance of Shaastras as we already know.


Shri Rama was also clear on what should be done to atheists.

Vilwamangalam Swamiyar was passing this area after Prathista of Padmananbhaswamy Temple, he felt Devi chaitanyam and recognized as Karthyayani Devi. But Devi seeing Vilwamangalam went inside the pond. Swamy searched for Devi continously for 6 days and on 7th day Vilwamangalam


got hold of Devi's hair. Thus only Devi's head is Prathishta here. Devotees do Kozhi parathal ( offering cock) here as an offering to Karthyayani Devi.

#3/thread on Angkor wat

Christianity and islam may be the largest religion of today’s world but Sanatan dharm has the largest religious monument in the world in the form of Angkor wat. It is situated in combodia and spread across over 400 acres / 1.6 km².


It was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1992, which encouraged an international effort to save the complex.
It was originally built as a Hindu temple dedicated to the god Vishnu. In Khmer, the Cambodian language, Angkor means "city" and Wat means "temple grounds".


So Angkor Wat means "Temple City". Its original name was Vrah Vishnuloka or Parama Vishnuloka, meaning the sacred dwelling of Vishnu in Sanskrit.
But, it gradually turned into a Buddhist temple towards the end of the 12th century & is still used for worship today.


Angkor Wat was initially designed and constructed in the first half of the 12th century, during the reign of Suryavarman II, as the king’s state temple and capital city. It was built without the aid of any machinery, as there was no machinery available at that time.


Evidence for these dates comes in part from inscriptions, which are vague, but also from the architectural design and artistic style of the temple and its associated sculptures.

Another aspect is that the five central towers of Angkor Wat symbolize the peaks of Mount Meru,

1/ So here is a thread on how I turned $32,000 into $1.2m and back to pretty much zero (once taxes are paid).

Just note, I am not bitter or salty in any way at all, the last 2 years have been an amazing ride - travelled the world, been wealthy, been poor.

2/ Dec '16, my advertising agency folded, I had a little bit of money left and I put $32k into Bitcoin and Ether. As it started to go up I diversified into everything, Monero, Dash, this that, any crap - even Ripplecoin. Everything just kept going up.

3/ By March I think I had around $300k and $500k by the summer. I used to take 25% out but towards the end of the summer I got greedy and put it all back in and by December it was $1.2m.

4/ Thinking I was an absolute genius I decided to start a bunch of businesses. As silly as it sounds I had this goal of making $5m as I wanted to buy Bedford Town Football Club and get them in the league, and as Crypto was going up forever I needed 6 months.

5/ So:
- Trading (income 1)
- Podcast (income 2)
- Mining (income 3)
- Mining pool (income 4)
- Consulting (income 5)

Yes - all of the above as a one-man army :)
