Solution to yesterday’s Sudoku
The name Seshan means someone who serves his guru or lord with utmost devotion. Adi Seshan serves Mahavishnu at all times, even during his avatars — as Lakshmana when the Lord manifested as Rama and as Balarama during Krishna Avatar. In Kali Yuga, Adi Seshan appeared as the great preceptor Ramanuja in order to help people reconnect with divinity, said Tirukkudanthai Dr. Venkatesh in a discourse.
Ramanuja’s mission is ve-fold, says Manavala Mamunigal. First, he taught the world that god resides within a person. Secondly, in Kali Yuga when sins are multiplying, he established that moksha is not the purview of merely a few privileged people, but is within reach of anyone who surrenders to the Lord. Third, his unstinting eorts to inculcate bhakti in all had positive results: it is said that proliferation of sinners burdens Mother Earth.
Fourth, he ensured that the Tamil pasurams of the Azhwars, encapsulating the essence of Vedas, were given their due importance, and reached a wider audience. Last but not the least, he showed the faithful that the great idols in various temples such as Sri Rangam, Srimushnam, Kancheepuram, Kumbakonam, etc., were not mere symbols, but archa avtars: resident gods oering succour to the devout.
