| | Ramanuja - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Ramanuja argues that positive nescience is established neither by perception, nor by inference, nor by scriptural testimony. | | | History shows that the followers of Sankara are answerless till date to the strong arguments of Ramanuja (in his sri bhashya) and his followers(satadushani of desika,...). | | | Ramanuja regards this as an absurdity: given that Advaita claims that Brahman is pure self-luminous consciousness, obscuration must mean either preventing the origination of this (impossible since Brahman is eternal) or the destruction of it - equally absurd. |

| | The Hindu : Ramanuja, humility personified |
| | Ramanuja firmly believed in the Upanishad doctrine of God permeating everything and residing in the heart of man as inner controller and director. | | | AN INCARNATION of the thousand-hooded Adi Sesha, Sri Ramanuja represents the culmination of Vedantic philosophy. | | | His spiritual concerns were dictated by his perception of the equality of all men and the potential of all, to enter the celestial abode which is a continuum of the life on earth. |

| | VISISTADVAITA VEDANTA HOMEPAGE |
| | It is this aspect of Sri Ramanuja's teaching that became the pivot of the practices of the Sri Vaisnava community. | | | Sri Ramanuja also learnt the 'Tirumantra' (Om Namo Narayanaya) from Sri Goshthipurna, the Prabandhams from Sri Vararanga afresh and the 'Satharisukta' or the 1000 Hymns of Sathari (Bhagavan Nammalvar) from Sri Maladhara. | | | Lastly, the commentary preserves the oral comments of Sri Ramanuja and his predecessors on several Alvar hymns, proving that Sri Pillan was a close associate of Sri Ramanuja and that Sri Ramanuja was a Vedanta theologian as well as a Vaisnava Bhakta at the same time. |

| | Ramanuja [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] |
| | While Ramanuja is reported by the writings of his disciples to have lectured in Tamil on the verses of the Tamil Vaishnava saints, he left no writings on their work, and no explicit mention of them in his writings. | | | Ramanuja admired Kancipurna's piety and devotion to Vishnu and sought Kancipurna as his guru-much to the horror of Kancipurna who regarded Ramanuja's humility before him as an affront to caste propriety. | | | Ramanuja's opponents are happy to affirm that certain things can be said of Brahman, for instance, that it is (as affirmed in the Taittitriya Upanishad II.i.1.) truth (satyam) knowledge (jnanam) and infinite (anantam). |

| | Archarya Ramanuja and his Qualified Monism by Dr. CS Shah |
| | Ramanuja married in his youth, but he was not happy in his marriage, for in his heart he longed for the time when he might devote himself uninterruptedly to life of worship and meditation. | | | Qualified non-dualists believe that God is the cause and the universe its effect, but as the effect can't be different from the cause, God is immanent in whole universe. | | | Initially, Ramanuja studied the Scriptures and the Vedanta under the guidance of a great scholar Yadava Prakasha. |

| | Sri Ramanuja |
| | One day, while he was meditating in silence, on one of the paasurams of Tiruvaimozhi, one of his disciples called Pillan walked in and inquired if he was meditating on the particula hymn. | | | Ramanuja's two important disciples, Koorathazhcan and Mudaliandan accompanied him and stayed with him at Srirangam. | | | Fearing that one day, Ramanuja would demolish Advaita philosophy, he plotted to kill him by drowning him in river Gangess while on a pilgrimage tour of the country with his disciples. |

| | Sri Ramanujacharya, in the Miraculous Lineage of Mystic Masters of India |
| | This vow was fulfilled when Ramanuja gave that name parašara to the son of kureša, his foremost disciple and later installed him as his successor to the leadership of the vaishnava community. | | | Ramanuja went near the dead body of the great preceptor and found that three fingers of the dead saint’s right hand were folded and clenched; nobody around could explain the phenomenon. | | | Throughout the Hindu world, the attitude of a religious worship of a divinity or a Guru is in essence the one taught and followed by Ramanuja, namely the attitude of a servant to the master. |

| | Ramanuja was deeply touched, and in the cremation ground itself, before the dead body of Yamunacharya, he made a solemn promise that, God willing, he would fulfil all the three wishes of Yamunacharya. | | | Ramanuja constructed a few more Vishnu temples in and about Mysore, set up a strong Vaishnavite community and put them in charge of his disciples to continue his work and spread the Visishtadvaita philosophy and Vishnu worship throughout the king's dominions. | | | Ramanuja himself longed to go back to his followers in Srirangam and worship in the temple there. |

| | Sanga: 07/02/03 Aprthak-siddhi and Acintya sakti |
| | Although followers of Ramanuja have explained this statement of the Bhagavata differently, Ramanuja's school has not embraced the Bhagavatam as closely as the Gaudiyas, for who it is the ultimate in scriptural evidence. | | | Thus while Sri Ramanuja's concept of inseparability may seem entirely logical to his followers, rather than satisfying the Gaudiyas it speaks more to them of an attempt to logically explain what they perceive as the simultaneous identity and difference of the Absolute with its saktis that is in fact inconceivable. | | | Thus Ramanuja acknowledges that reality is a unity of consciousness that includes the world and the jiva souls, which he considers attributes of Brahman (the substance). |

| | An Introduction to Hinduism |
| | Ramanuja's Saranagati Gadya is a notable contribution to the gospel of self-surrender, but it does not rule out caste functions and duties, and the doctrine of Karma. | | | Ramanuja and his followers opposed the doctrine of Maya and the interpretation of the world as purely phenomenal or illusory. | | | Pillai Lokacarya, the famous exponent of the Tengalai school, advocated passive surrender (Praptti) in preference to active faith (Bhakti), and the guidance of a spiritual preceptor, Manavala Maha Muni is the chief Saint of the Tengalais. |

| | In Ramanuja's Vedanta there are three ontological principles, Brahman,atman, and prakrti which are affirmed in the scripture. | | | Ramanuja explains the lila concept of creation in his Sri Bhasya, a commentary on Badaryana's Vedanta Sutra in the following manner: | | | It is interesting to see that in the Vaisnava tradition Visnu is not formless but is characterized by transcendent form, which is stated to be beautiful (saundarya). |
