A Life Sketch of Sri Nampillai
(By Sri U Ve Bhuvarahachariar Swami, M.A., Rtd. Prof. of Sanskrit, Alwar Thirunagari )
Part 1
A unique and distinctive feature of our Sri Vaishnava Sampradayam is its unbroken chain of successive great Azhwars and Acharyas. Sri Vedanta Desika in his"Yathiraja Sapthathi" waxeseloquent as regards this uninterrupted appearance (Avataram) of Acharyas and metaphoricallycompares it to a beautiful garland of gems.a muna tapaniti sayee bhumnayathirajena nibadha nayaksri |mahati gurupankthi hara yashtihivibhudhanaam hrida yangama vibhati ||In this stanza, he compares our Acharya Parampara to a garland of gems for which the centralsapphire is Sri Ramanujar. The diamond chain embellishes only the body where as this AcharyaParampara haram adorns the soul.Many of us, nowadays are not aware of the Guruparampara (succession of Acharyas). Hence I givetheir order of appearance.1.
