Perumal's beautiful thirumeni entices us and make us fall in love with him in a trancelike state. An acharya will direct us through the path of conscious and disciplined bhakthi. In any Vaishnava Sampradaya, acharya bhakthi or bhaagavatha bhakthi is highly valued than Perumal bhakthi. Knowing all the secrets, Madhurakavi azhwar had his devotion exclusive to Nammazhwar and avoided having even a glimpse of Adhipiran. Penpillai tells another story of same kind where Ramanuja's sishya Vaduganambigal was uninterested about Namperumal's arrival and was more concerned with acharya kainkaryam.
