The rejuvenating spirit and idealogy of Sri Ramanuja appeared as it was, in the divine form of Acharya H.H Sri Sri Sri Tridandi Srimannarayana Ramanuja Jeeyar Swamiji. HH Pedda Jeeyar Swamiji showed us the direction, as foreseen and propagated by Sri Ramanuja himself, 1000 years back.
Swamiji extended the same opportunity to every person to become a part in the service to God, by conducting programs like
In 1920, young Srimannarayana was very much attracted to the call of Gandhiji and participated very actively in the independence movement of India.
In Tamil Nadu, the Dravidian movement was denigrating Lord Rama and our ancient culture. Perturbed by the sacrilege committed by those in the movement, Sri Swamiji went to Chennai and performed Sri Ramayana Parayana for 27 days with 300 scholars from Andhra Pradesh.
Without any cooperation from locals, Swamiji boldly conducted the recitation of Sri Ramayanam on the platforms of Chennai Railway Station. Later He spread the message of Sri Ramayanam and Sri Rama Naama at various places and stifled the propaganda of the anti-Vedic movement.
Sri Swamiji performed Sri Rama Kratu at Hyderabad too.
To educate and thus empower the interested to understand and distribute the ” divine literatures ” and to inculcate interest in the society per se, Swamiji started Bhakthi Nivedana a spiritual magazine in April 1947.For almost half a century (till 1996), Sriman T.K. Gopalacharya Swami acted as its chief editor.
To be human is not easy. We need to constantly weed out bad thoughts and engage ourselves administering good deeds. This requires a mirror to show the unwanted things in us. And Swamiji envisioned that Sri Ramayana would serve that purpose of mirror in society.
In 1960 Swamiji started performing Sri Rama Kratu for about 9 years. One hundred and eight such Kratus were performed all over India and Nepal. The unique feature of the Kratu was that each one was started at a new place on every Punarvasu star and Agni was kept alive continuously for a period of nine years. In each Kratu, Havan for Sri Rama was done apart from recitation of Sri Ramayanam.
Sri Rama Nama was written on the bricks utilized for the construction of Sri Rama stupas. On the four walls of the stupa, verses from the Samkshepa Ramayanam were engraved. During the entire Yajna, Tadiyaradhana was arranged for all devotees. The Rama Nama written a crore times by the devotees was preserved in each stupa.
This great Movement started off in Nepal and right from Himalayas it covered all across India till Kanyakumari.
The last of 108 Kratuvus was performed on an extra-ordinary grand scale on the Tirumala Hills under the divine presence and blessings of Lord Srinivasa. . With 1000 priests reciting Sri Bhashya, Bhagavad Vishaya and Sri Venkatachala Mahatyam, the 7 hills reverberated with divine Vedic chanting all over.
The mark of a true sage is his infinite compassion on every living being. Nobody escapes their vision. Swamiji’s reach was such that HH blessed even the prisoners in central prisons like Rajahmundry, Madurai.Swamiji let the prisoners write the divine name of Lord Sri Rama in the jail itself and thus lit a lamp of great joy in their lives.
Swamiji was an erudite scholar. His discourses were lucid in style and attracted both scholars and laymen. They were interspersed with humorous anecdotes. His discourses on Divya Prabhandam would bring out their esoteric meaning in a comprehensible style. Sri Swamiji was well versed in many languages.Sri P.B. Annangacharya Swami of Kanchipuram, a great scholar and an expert on Visishtadwaitha similarly realized Sri Swamiji’s greatness and erudition and used to call Him as ” Satya Sankalpa “.
Ours is the land of Vedas. Our goal of life pursuit and path to follow are shown by Vedic injunctions. We are the followers of this Vedic literature. Swamiji, with 3000 Vedic Scholars and Prabandha Pundits conducted a ” Akhila Bharatha Veda Vidwat Sammelan ” All India Vedic Conference ” in Ramleela grounds of Delhi from 1973 April 4 to April 12.
Smt Indira Gandhi, the then Prime Minister of India, visited and was awestruck to see so many scholars and their erudition in Vedic literature.
Our parents give birth to this material body. But Acharyas give birth to the essential Jnanam inside us, and thus delivering us completely from this material world of duality. Swamiji gave ” initiation ” to thousands interested, thus essentially becoming ” Acharya of entire Bharath “.Swamiji left for Sri Vaikuntam on December 31, 1979 on Vaikuntha Dwadasi day with His mind meditating the Divine form of Lord Srimannarayana. His Brindavanam was constructed at Nadigaddapalem, Andhra Pradesh India.
