Respected Bhagavtha Bandhus,
The Vibuthis are 2 in number namely the Leela Vibuthi & the Nitya Vibuthi
Leela Vibuthi (Material world):-
The area which has no lower boundary is subject to transformation and
mixture of three gunas. These are subject to leela’s of EmpeurmAn namely
His creation, sustenance and destruction. in this process He also takes
incarnations, gives sasthrams and also deputes Azwars & Acharyas.
However, this vibhuthi, since, it is mixture of the guaAs is under
control of sensory organs and also the knowledge is limited. Therefore,
the desires and lust override knowledge and aim to attain salvation.
Nithya Vibuthi (Sri Vaikuntam):-
In sharp contrast, the area which has no upper boundary is the NIthya
vibHuthi which is permanent and the Lord rests in the Supreme Divya
kshetram over there. It is only of sattvam or the purest of attributes
and therefore the aim there is to serve the Lord and there is no
negative qualities over there.
Lord Ranganatha is the
supreme lord of Leela Vibuthi & Nithya Vibuthi, and the only supreme
who has the power to grant moksha to any soul, and he passed/granted on
this “power” only to Swamy Ramanauja giving him the title “Udayavar”
meaning one who owns the possession of both these vibuthis and greatness
of this Swamy is such that, any one who surrenders to this acharyan’s
lotus feet,is sure to be cleansed of their sins and will be granted
moksha.
(It may be noted that Kanchi Deva Perumal has
reinforced this authority by advising Thirukkachi Nambigal, that moksham
for nambigal is due to Ramanuja sammandham)
All chetanas take refuge in "Yathiraja Padhuka"

Respected Bhagavatha Bandhus,
Our Acharyas are “KripA mAtra prasanna Acharyas”, driven solely by the
motive of mercy towards misguided mankind. They scrupulously adhere to
the dictum “KripayA nisspruhO vadEt” (The Acharya should impart
instruction to the disciple without expecting anything in return).
Sri Manavala Mamunigal in his Aarthi Prabandham goes a step ahead and
brings out to establish the grace of Swamy Ramanuja is more than that
of the Lord in the foll verses
“Adhigaaram undel arangarirangaroo
adhigaaram illadharkandro — Ethiraja!
nee erangavenduvathu neeyum adhigarigalukkey
erangil enseivom yaam”
Meaning
People practicing Karma,Bakthi yoga etc get qualified to get the grace
of the Lord, People who have no such attributes are dependent only on
your grace Oh Ramanuja! If you too behave like Lord where else we can
go?
In this verse, it is stated, that the Emperumaan
discriminates by giving Moksha to selected few who are qualified, for
the same, But Emperumanaar, has no such discrimination, his grace is
universal and flows out to all the needy, such is his compassion,
unmindful of eligibility & even though we are unqualified &
underserving, Swami Emperumanaar out of his extreme compassion redeems
us, Thus stands at higher level than the Emperumaan,(when it comes to
compassion/grace)
Further in another sloka from the same prabandham
states
“Nandha nargathhu aazhundhamai vendidal naaneelatheer
en thathaiyaan ethirajanai nannum endrum ava
andhadhi thannai anusandhiyum avan thondrarudan
chindakulam keda cherntheedum muthee pin siddhikkume”
Meaning
“Oh people of this earth! If you want to get relieved from this
narakam/hell of samsara. You should take refugee in thiruvadi of my
father Ethirajan, Chant (his)Ramanuja Nootriandadhi (which is gayathri
for prapannas) in which each pasruam contains his nama which forms a
favorable/cordial factor for our destination & always remain in the
satsangh of his adiyars, through all this moksham is easily accessible
& confirmed
All these come out from the mouth of our “Poi Illadha Manavala Mamuni”
Let us pray to YATHIRAJA PADHUKA/ Swamy Ramanuja’s thiruvadi and take pride in identifying ourselves as “Ramanuja Dasas”
Vazhi Ethirajan! Vazhi Ethirajan!
Adiyen Ramanuja Dasan
Geetha Vasudevan
