He became a sishya of\u00a0emperumAnAr<\/a> and learns bhagavath vishayam and srIbhAshyam from thirukkurugaippirAn piLLAn. It is said that, he was honoured by\u00a0emperumAnAr<\/a> himself with the title engaLAzhwAn (since he was resembling kUrathAzhwAn<\/a> in his gyAnam, bhakthi, AchArya nishtai, etc).<\/p>\n nadAthUr ammAL (vAthsya varadhAchAryar) is one of his prime sishyas and is the grandson of nadAthUr AzhwAn (who is also a sishya of emperumAnAr<\/a>). When ammAL wanted to learn srIbhAshyam from his grandfather, his grandfather due to his old age, asks ammAL to go to engaLAzhwAn and learn the same. ammAL goes to engaLAzhwAn’s thirumALigai (home) and knocks on the door. engaLAzhwAn asks “Who is that?” and ammAL replies “I am varadhan”. engaLAzhwAn says “Come back after the ‘I’ dies”. ammAL returns to his home and enquires from his grandfather about the incident. nadhAthUr AzhwAn says we must always introduce ourselves as “adiyEn” (dhAsan) with total humility and never use the terms “I”, “I am”, etc., which are the cause of ahankAram (ego). Understanding the principle, ammAL returns to engaLAzhwAn and knocks at the door. This time when engaLAzhwAn asks who is at the door, ammAL replies “adiyEn varadhan is here”. Being pleased, engaLAzhwAn welcomes ammAL, accepts him as his sishya and teaches him all the valuable principles. engaLAzhwAn also becomes to be known as ammAL AchAryan, since he became the AchAryan of nadAthUr ammAL who becomes to be a great scholar.<\/p>\n emperumAnAr during his final days, instructs engaLAzhwAn to take shelter of thirukkurugaippirAn piLLAn.<\/p>\n In our vyAkyAnams, a few idhihyams (incidents) that show the glories of\u00a0engaLAzhwAn are seen. Let us see some of them now.<\/p>\n In vArthA mAlai, a few incidents involving engaLAzhwAn are identified. Let us see them now:<\/p>\n Thus, we have seen some glimpses of the glorious life of engaLAzhwAn. He was fully situated in bhAgavatha nishtai and was very dear to emperumAnAr<\/a> himself. Let us pray at his lotus feet that we too get a little bit of such bhAgavatha nishtai.<\/p>\n engaLAzhwAn’s thaniyan:<\/p>\n srIvishNuchiththa padha pankaja samsrayAya chEthO mama spruhayathE kimatha: parENa <\/em> \u0bb8\u0bcd\u0bb0\u0bc0\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb7\u0bcd\u0ba3\u0bc1\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0baa\u0ba4 \u0baa\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0b9c \u0bb8\u0bae\u0bcd\u0bb8\u0bcd\u0bb0\u0baf\u0bbe\u0baf \u0b9a\u0bc7\u0ba4\u0bcb \u0bae\u0bae \u0bb8\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bcd\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bb9\u0baf\u0ba4\u0bc7 \u0b95\u0bbf\u0bae\u0ba4: \u0baa\u0bb0\u0bc7\u0ba3<\/em> adiyen sarathy ramanuja dasan<\/p>\n archived in https:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/, <\/a>also visit http:\/\/ponnadi.blogspot.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n Sources: 6000 padi guru paramparA prabhAvam, vyAkyAnams, vArthA mAlai, MAV swamy’s vAzhvum vAkkum for quick reference<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" sri: srimathE rAmAnujAya nama: srimadh varavaramunayE nama: sri vAnAchala mahAmunayE nama: engaLAzhwAn with nadAthUr ammAL at his lotus feet thirunakshathram: chithrai, rOhiNi avathAra sthalam: thiruveLLarai AchAryan: emperumAnAr, thirukkurugaippirAn piLLAn sishyas: nadAthUrammAL Place where he attained paramapadham: kollankoNdAn (near madhurai) Works: sArArtha chathushtayam (part of vArthAmAlai), vishNu chithIyam (vyAkyAnam for vishNu purANam) Born in thiruveLLarai, he … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63,48],"tags":[85],"class_list":["post-816","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-english","category-other-acharyas","tag-guruparamparai-english-tag"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/816","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=816"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/816\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=816"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=816"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=816"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
