Today at 11:15am, ‘Jala Pavitram’ was raised high at the top edge of the ‘Tridandam’ signifying the purity of each act done through the hands of a Yathi / Sannyasi. ‘Jala Pavitram’ is a square shaped white coloured cloth. The ‘Statue of Equality’, Bhagavad Ramanujacharya – holds a Tridandam of weight 56 tonnes and a Jala Pavitram of weight 6 tonnes!

A few references of ‘Jala Pavitram’ from Vedic scriptures exclusively for our readers. Please note that the English text is not the meaning of the sloka entirely, but they are only stating facts of the Jala Pavitram.

మానసం వాచికం వాపి కాయికం చ విచక్షణః అగ్నిర్దేవతా గాయత్రీఛందః
ఇతి మంత్రేణాలాబు (దారు) పాత్రం గ్నహ్ణీయాత్ ఖిక్షుకోత్తమః జల పవిత్రం గ్నహ్ణీయాత్ !!

Jala Pavitram is one of the three key essentials for a sannyasi (sath + nyasamu = one who has given up everything at the feet of Supreme). The remaining two essentials are Tridandamu (a flag pole representing the essence of Vedic wisdom) and Kasayamu (a saffron coloured cotton cloth to wear representing selfless and sacrificial attitude)

మంత్రేచమనాది సంధ్యోపాసనం పూర్వవత్!
ఆచమనాదిషు పంచసు జలపవిత్రస్య సంబంధః!

During every prayer to the source of the power to Sun, (Sandhya vandanam) – ‘Jala Pavitram’ will be used to perform the offering of water as a token of gratitude. It is to be used during ‘Pranayama’ after bath.

స తేన ఆచమనం కుర్యాత్ మార్జనం తర్పణం తథా!
ఉపస్థానం సహస్రాంశోః కుండికాయాశ్శపూరణమ్!!

The top thread of the Jala Pavitram is to be hooked to the edge of the Tridandam while chanting Pranavam (the O:M)

సదా జలపవిత్రేణ మార్జనా చామ తర్పణమ్!
ఉపస్తానం రవేశ్చాపి యో యతిః కురుతే న చ!!

The bottom thread of Jala Pavitram is to be tied to the edge of the Tridandam while meditating upon the meaning of the Pranavam.

The 162 Feet Tridandam Erection Process Begins –An Event of Great Significance!

Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swami visited the site of Sri Ramanuja Sahasrabdi today to pay his respects to the ‘Tridandam’ that is ready to be erected. Sri Ahobila Ramanuja Jeeyar Swami, Sri Devanatha Ramanuja Jeeyar Swami, esteemed scholar Sri Krishnamacharya Swami, the Chief Architect Sriman Prasad Garu, Engineers from My Home Group and AEROSUN, many other dignitaries, craftsmen and construction workers were all present to grace this occasion.

Key elements of the ‘Tridandam’ include:

  • The ‘Tridandam’ is constructed in 8 parts, each weighing about 7 tonnes
  • The length of the ‘Tridandam’ is 162 feet
  • It will be positioned from the feet of the statue hanging onto the shoulder and raising above the head by 27 feet
  • The ‘jalapavithram’ will be installed on the top edge of the ‘Tridandam’ and weighs around 6 tonnes

This great event – ‘Erecting the Tridandam’ is aimed to be complete by the first week of Nov’2017.

After offering a prayer before beginning the erection process, yummy sweets (Laddu) were distributed as a mark of happiness in getting this dream come true for lakhs of promoters of Equality, for millions of followers of Ramanuja Acharya!

What does it signify?

From the discourses of Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swami, the Tridandam shows what its owner understands and practices as the essence of Vedic scriptures. The ‘Tridandam’ carried by Ramanuja Acharya indicates that there are ‘Three’ entities named ‘Supreme Power(God)’, ‘The Souls(we)’ and ‘The Nature(prakruthi)’. The power of the Supreme entity exists within the souls and nature. It governs and binds the existence. This Supreme Power is the one that is common to all that exists. And hence,Ramanuja Acharya saw everyone as ‘Equals’.

Thus, the Statue of Equality site at Sri Ram Nagar is being shaped up to guide everyone to be treated with respect, equal and with a connection of the strong binding force – the Supreme Power.

We welcome everyone to visit our site, take part and make your contribution to this iconic structure spreading great philosophical value.

We are proud and happy to announce the construction status of Tridandam, the flag pole of Bhagavad Ramanuja. It is aimed to complete by 30th June.

Let’s a take a moment to understand the significance of the Tridandam? As given in one of the discourses of HH Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swami, Tridandam signifies what its owner practices as the core essence of Vedic scriptures as understood by his lineage.

Followers of Ramanujacharya carry Tridandam (Thri meaning three) because they understand from Vedic scriptures that there are THREE realities that exist: Bramha, Souls, and Nature. The souls co-exist and work with nature to reach an ultimate and un-ending state of happiness and contentment that the third entity enjoys. The third entity is what we call God. God is ONE entity that comprises of the other TWO entities. This ‘comprise’ word in Sanskrit is ‘Visishta’. So, this is called ‘Visishta Advaitha’.

The followers of Shankaracharya carry E:kadandam (e:ka meaning one) because they understand from Vedic scriptures that Bramha (the ultimate supreme power) is the ONLY ONE that exists and real, and rest of it is all unreal and illusionary. Advaitham means ONE and therefore the philosophy is named ‘Advaitham’.

Ramanujacharya Swamy has re-established Visishta Advaitha by spreading this message out of compassion towards all beings that they are all equal in the eyes of God. As we all know, in remembrance of this great Acharya – lakhs of hands are working together to build a monument that symbolizes equality.

What an opportunity to be part of the making!? Other updates include casting copper plates of dynamic fountain, fixing of 13 big lotus petals and more!
