To devotees of Bhagavad Rāmānuja, Irāmānusa Nūtrandādi needs no introduction as this sweetest and grandest sounding poetic praise of Svāmi Rāmānuja has been reverberating every day in temples and homes of Śrīvaiṣṇavas for close to a thousand years now. These pāsurams, aptly glorified by pūrvācāryas as the Sāvitrī and the Gāyatrī – the initiating and protecting mantras – of prapannas, make the single most important set of pāsurams to memorize, chant, understand meanings as explained by pūrvācāryas and, most importantly, constantly reflect on those meanings to solidify our faith in the holy feet of Bhagavad Rāmānuja. Of course, the first step here is being able to correctly pronounce the words of the pāsurams and to memorize them for chanting at homes and temples, as well as for constant, unaided rumination.

As Velukkudi Śrī U Ve Krishnan Svāmī announced during his recent trip to North America, Vedics is blessed to present a structured plan to memorize Irāmānusa Nūtrandādi in just four months, following the traditional santai approach. Participants would learn 27 pāsurams per month and get to listen to their meanings too, through recordings of the upanyāsams Śrī Krishnan Svāmī delivered during his US visit last month. We aim to spread this to as many in the world as possible, with a goal of enabling at least a 1000 devotees to chant before Bhagavad Rāmānuja’s 1000th anniversary on May 1, 2017. Let us make sure to enroll in this ourselves first, and then spread the message to devotees all over to take advantage of this windfall!
