mAsi-Ayilyam (Sunday - Feb 24th) is coming up. This is the most auspicious thirunakshathram (appearance) day of piLLa uRangA villi dhAsar (dhanur dhAsar), one of the dearest disciples of emperumAnAr.

Time and again, our pUrvAchAryas have shown that a srIvaishNava's greatness is not because of his birth in a particular varNam, but only because of his devotion towards emperumAn and other srIvaishNavas. piLLai uRangA villi dhAsar's life and our AchAryas' glorification of dhAsar is a clear indication of the mood and attitude of our AchAryas on this particular principle.

Please read this article which gives a glimpse of piLLai uRangA villi dhAsar's glories at http://guruparamparai.wordpress.com/2013/02/22/pillai-uranga-villi-dhasar.
