♦ History of Ramanuja:

He resided in Tamil Nadu for more than 120 years, close to present-day Chennai, and had a lasting effect on temple worship and Hindu philosophy.

Ramanuja demonstrated exceptional intelligence and devotion from a young age. He was educated in the Advaita (non-dualism) school early on, but he discovered that its idea of an impersonal, formless Brahman was inadequate to convey the entire divine reality. He created the Vishishtadvaita philosophy under the tutelage of spiritual guides like Yamunacharya and Periya Nambi and driven by his love for Lord Vishnu. According to this theory, there is a personal and loving God (Narayana) with characteristics, and the soul and the universe are distinct yet inextricably related to God.

Ramanuja is also remembered for his radical societal changes. He promoted the concept that salvation was available to everyone, regardless of their origin, at a period when caste rules were strict. By permitting all followers to engage in temple worship and spiritual teaching, he defied established norms.

Some of his most important contributions include:
He wrote significant remarks on the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, and the Brahma Sutras (Sri Bhashya).
He reorganized and reformed the rituals and administration of important temples like Srirangam.
He promoted the Prapatti Marga (path of complete surrender) as an easy route to freedom.

Ramanuja's teachings continue to inspire millions, and his legacy is especially maintained in the Sri Vaishnava tradition. His life is a potent fusion of intellect, faith, and inclusivity, a shining example of dharma and compassion that endures to this day.
