There are a host of Vaishnava web sites which have published a great wealth of information on
Srivaishnava Mantras.
Tirumantra1 is the temple of Bliss, Carama Slokam3 (BG18.66) the temple of flowers and
Dvaya2 the temple of duty. --Yamunacharya.
Srivaishnava Mantras are passed down as secret to the deserving disciple by the Vaishnava
Acharya during initiation. The disciple offers his surrender at Naaraayana's feet and the revered
line of Acharya-Gurus. The disciple lives and maintains a sattvic life in accordance with
Vaishnava tenets.
These three secrets reveal the absolute status of Naaraayana and Sri, and relative status of
Jivatma; His JagatkAranatva (Primary Cause of Creation); His AudhAratva, being the
supporter of the Universe; Paramatma's ownership of Jivatma; Unity in Bimodality, Sri's
inseparability from Naaraayana; His pervasion in beings and universe; Naarayana being
the Hypostasis or Basis for all Chetanams and Achetanams; Naaraayana's Supremacy as
Sarvesvara; Sesha's dependence and servitude to bimodal Seshi; Sesha's renunciation;
Removal of all obstacles in the service of the Lord; Sri's mediation on behalf of
Chetanams; His Feet as the Means (Upayam) to attain the Lord; Atma Samarpanam
(dedication of self) by the Jivatma to Paramaatma as Prapannan; simple means to attain
Him without the need for cumbersome Yogas (Sarva Dharman); forgiveness of sins;
Exclusive surrender to Naaraayana only as precondition to Naaraayana's Grace;
VAtsalyam by the Lord; Paramatman's feet as the Object and Goal of Prapatti and
Surrender; Removal of all impediments to Moksa; Total Surrender as the guarantor of
relief from grief.
