  1. [TABLE="align: center"] [TR] [TD="bgcolor: #ff9900"] PRAPANNA PARIJATA PRAPANNA PARIJATA of Nadadur Ammal: English translation by T.G. Ramamurthi; Pub. by Visishtadvaita Pracharini Sabha, 30, Venkatesa Agraharam, Mylapore, Chennai-600004. Rs. 60/-. The doctrine of self-surrender, avidly preached by Vaishnavism, is as old as the Vedas. The scripture eulogises prapatti (self-surrender) at several places, and the Taittiriya-Narayana Upanishad, in fact, places it on top of the 12 types of noble and sacrificial deeds such as yaga, agnihotra and charity. Nor is the philosophy of self-surrender peculiar to Vaishnavism. Several other religions also talk of this in glorifying terms, albeit in varying degrees and formats. While the Azhwars and the Acharyas like Ramanuja mention the efficacy of prapatti at several places in their works, Vatsya Varadacharya, who goes by the name of ‘Nadadur Ammal', gets the credit for writing the first exclusive treatise on this doctrine under the title, “Prapanna Parijata.” How did Vatsya Varada come to be known as ‘Nadadur Ammal'? Tradition has it that he made it a point to ensure that the milk offered to Lord Varadaraja of Kanchi was warm, neither too hot nor too cold, and that the Lord, touched by his maternal love and concern, exclaimed: “Are you my ‘Ammal' (mother)?” Guiding lamp Siddhi Traya and Gitartha Sangraha, written by Alavandar, guru of Ramanuja's guru, served as guides for Ramanuja's Sri Bashya (commentary on Brahma Sutras) and Gita Bashya (commentary on Bhagavad Gita) respectively. In the same way, Prapanna Parijata of Nadadur Ammal, guru of Vedanta Desika's guru, shone as the guiding lamp for Desika's magnum opus — Rahasyatrayasara, a lexicon on prapatti. The original text of Prapanna Parijata in Sanskrit comprises 150 “long” verses, each consisting of one or more regular verses in the simple, easy-to-understand ‘Anushtup' metre. The work is divided into 10 chapters. In the opening chapter, Ammal quotes profusely from the Vedas, the Ramayana, the Mahabharata, the Puranas and the Agamas to highlight the efficacy of self-surrender and the need for doing it. The concept and essential constituents of prapatti are explained in the next chapter, and this is followed by a discussion on the eligibility criteria for performing the prapatti. The vital role played by the Guru in this process; the need for the disciple serving his Guru with utmost devotion; ways of offering worship to God; and the greatness of Goddess Lakshmi are portrayed vividly. The importance of treating ‘Bhagavatas' (God's devotees) with utmost respect and doing service to them is also emphasised. And the treatise concludes with a description of the experience that awaits one on attaining liberation from the bonds of samsara. In several places, Ammal quotes almost verbatim from the sacred texts, by way of showing that his assertions are backed by the unimpeachable authority of the Vedas and the Sastras. Explanatory footnotes The book under review provides the original text in Sanskrit, followed by transliteration in English and, then, the English translation, with explanatory footnotes, where necessary. A Tamil translation of this text was provided by Uttamur Viraraghavacharya, a renowned scholar-savant of the last century, bringing forth inter alia the finer and abstruse points lying embedded in the work. As has been acknowledged, Ramamurti has made liberal use of this Tamil version. Barring a few minor inaccuracies that are of no significance, the translation is near-perfect and adequately conveys the import of the text, duly elaborating where necessary. For those who are more at home with English than Tamil, the book provides a good insight into the greatness of prapatti, as portrayed by Nadadur Ammal.

  2. [TABLE] [TR] [TD="class: content, colspan: 2"] Sri: Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama: This day about 641 years ushered in an era of Gnyanam and Bhakthi that the world had never witnessed before. At time when the Srivaishnava world was sinking into darkness due to the invasion of Turks, at a time when the ancient heritage of Srivaishavam was withering away into oblivion, there arose , in the quiet land of Azhwar thirunagari, an acharya who was destined to make the master of the world his Sishya. This Aippasi Thirumoolam is the Thirunakshrtam of Sri Manavala Mamunigal, the penultimate acharya of the Srivaishnava Guruparampara. With Him, the Lord of Srirangam finished the Guruparamparai. This acharyan’s charitram and vaibhavam was chronicled by Sri Pillailokam Jeeyar in his “Yatheendra Pravana Prabhavam” a work in Manipravala nadai generously sprinkled with Sanskrit pramanas. For the lame man interested in the charitram of Maamunigal, this text is extremely hard to decipher. With the intention of taking Mamunigal’s vaibhavam to the masses, Professor Sri. U.Ve Arangarajan of Madurai has not only translated Yatheendra pravana prabhavam into simple Tamizh but has also added more facts and interesting incidents prior to the Birth of Manavala Mamunigal. Starting with the vaibhavam of Nampillai, the flow of Eedu from Nampillai to Mamunigal, the text goes on to describe the trying times of Srivaishnava world during Mughal invasion. A very elaborate coverage has been given to the parallel movement of the Acharyas and Srivaishavas during the time of Muslim invasion down south. Finally, focus is brought to the life of Maamunigal. The author dwells on each incident in the life of Maamunigal from His birth in the Land of Namazhwar to His assuming the Leadership of the Srivaishnava world in Srirangam. The writing is very lucid. The author has taken great pains to translate each Sanskrit shlokam of the original text to Tamizh thus retaining the originality. Many places pictures and photos have been inserted to explain the context. The writing on the final days of Mamunigal is excellent and leaves the eyes moistened with tears. On this day of the birth of the Krupacharya, we request each one of you to obtain of copy of the book and read it fully. Knowledge of our acharyas charitram is foremost in knowing our Sampradayam. You can also circulate about this book and gift it, so that others also get benefit from this treasure.
