Description

• Sri Ramanujar is a revered Tamil book that chronicles the life, philosophy, and contributions of Sri Ramanuja, one of the most prominent saints and philosophers of Vaishnavism.
• Sri Ramanuja, who lived during the 11th and 12th centuries, is celebrated as a key proponent of Vishishtadvaita, or qualified non-dualism, a school of Vedanta that emphasizes the devotion to Lord Vishnu and the belief in the unity of the soul with the Supreme Being.
• The book, written in Tamil, provides a comprehensive narrative of Sri Ramanuja’s early life, his spiritual journey, and his transformative teachings that revolutionized the way Bhakti (devotion) was practiced in Hinduism.
• Born in Sriperumbudur, Tamil Nadu, Ramanuja became a towering figure in the spiritual landscape of India by advocating a devotional path that was accessible to all, regardless of caste or creed.
• The book delves into his efforts to break social barriers and his promotion of equality in worship, which earned him a place of great respect in the hearts of his followers.
• Ramanuja’s philosophy promotes devotion to Lord Vishnu as the highest form of spiritual practice and insists on selfless surrender (Prapatti) to attain liberation (Moksha).
• The book also covers important milestones in Ramanuja’s life, including his influential role in shaping the worship practices at Srirangam Temple, his travels across India, and his debates with scholars of other philosophical schools.
