Born in 1017 CE in the village of Sriperumbudur, Tamil Nadu, Ramanujacharya (originally named Lakshmana) is one of the most venerated figures in Hindu history. As the chief proponent of the Visisthadwaita (Qualified Non-Dualism) philosophy, he revolutionized spiritual thought by beautifully synthesizing profound intellectual knowledge (Jnana) with intense, accessible personal devotion (Bhakti) toward Bhagwan Vishnu.

Born in 1017 CE, Sri Ramanuja Acharya was a revolutionary Indian philosopher, theologian, and the leading expounder of the Visisthadwaita (qualified non-dualism) school of Vedanta.
Thiruvathirai is the birth star (Nakshatra) of Sri Ramanuja Acharya. His Jayanthi is traditionally celebrated annually when this star aligns with the Tamil month of Chithirai.
During the Abhishekam, the Utsava Murthi (deity) of Sri Ramanujacharya is bathed with sacred and pure substances such as milk, honey, curd, ghee, and sandalwood water to honor him.
The temple priests and devotees will authentically recite the Nalayira Divya Prabandham (Divya Prabandha Sevakalam), Vishnu Sahasranamam, Yatiraja Saptati, and the Ramanuja Nootrandhadhi.
Authentic South Indian festival delicacies, specifically Sakkarai Pongal (sweet pongal) and Puliyogare (tamarind rice), are offered to the deity and then distributed as prasadam.
He championed social equality, compassion, and devotion, famously working to dismantle rigid caste distinctions and opening temple doors to all, regardless of social status.
Yes. Sri Ramanujacharya's philosophy provided the profound intellectual and scriptural foundation that heavily influenced the widespread Bhakti (devotional) movement across India.
It is a 216-foot tall metallic statue of Sri Ramanujacharya located in Hyderabad, India, built to globally honor his 11th-century teachings of inclusivity, devotion, and social justice.
Sri Ramanujacharya famously broke traditional secrecy norms by climbing a temple tower to loudly chant this sacred mantra, wishing to grant spiritual liberation to the masses even at the cost of his own salvation.
Visisthadwaita translates to "qualified non-dualism." It is the philosophy established by Ramanujacharya which teaches that while God is the supreme reality, individual souls and the universe are also real and form the body of the Divine.
