BHAGAVAD RAMANUJA ASRAMA SWEEKARAM
TIRU KKACCHI NAMBI - Poorivindamalli is a village near Kanchi. Tirukkachinambi is a Bhagavath, who offers vinjamara sevai to Kanchi Varda Raja perumal every day. Lord Varadaraja speaks to him on point to point and clarifies issues. After Ramanuja escaped from forest with the help of Lord Varada Raja, he took shelter with Tirukkachchi Nambi and used to do TEERTHA Kainkaryam to Lord. After ALAVADAR, called Ramanuja, he went to Srirangam, but could not meet him in person as the later died. RAMANUJA returned from SRIRANGAM to Kanchi Tiru Kkacchi Nambi aksed Ramanuja to continue Teetha sevai to Lord, but he should work for the THREE promises he made to late ALAVANDAR.
VARTHA SHATKAM - Bhagavad RAMANUJA and Tirukkacchi Nambi had an arrangement for learning. Tiru Kkacchi Nambi will ask all doubts of RAMANUJA to Lord VARADA RAJA, who will clarify. Next day Nambi shall tell the clarifications to RAMANUJA. The first SIX of such questions of RAMANUJA are known as VARTHA SHATKAM. They are (1) Who / What is PARA THATVAM? (2) JEEVATHMA / PARAMATHMA are they same or different? (3) What is more important to seekers of MUKTHI, other than Daanam, Dharmam, Jnanam and Bhakti (charity, Justice, Knowledge and devotion)? (4) All BHAKTHAS at the end should leave the body with God only in mind. If otherwise what will happen? (5) Moksham - Moksham (salvation or liberation of soul) will it happen after many lives? OR Can it be had just after one life? (6) I am thinking of Tiru Kkacchi Nambi as Acharya, who is helping to clarify the doubts. But due to caste considerations that will not be possible. So who can be approached AS ACHARYA?
