Dhati Panchakam speaks of the victory of Ramanuja over other philosophies – both those that accept Vedas and those that don’t – and his establishing the Visishtadvaita philosophy that was built by Azhvars and Purvacharyas. As the name shows it is made of five shlokas. The word dhATI means “attacking” – as this work shows the attack that Ramanuja carried over the other philosophies that were widespread at that time, it is an appropriate name for it.
We can read this every day to glorify the Guru Swami Ramanujacharya and on the occasion of Sri Bhagavadh Ramanujacharya’s Tirunakshatram celebrations we definitely read this.
Jai Srimannarayana.
