sri: srimathE rAmAnujaya nama: Humble Pranam to all Devotees: Swami Ramanuja the "only" unique acharya. - Part 2 of 10 (contd) ============================================================== Here was the answer given by Sri U.Ve Velukkudi Krishnan Swami in the year 2001, Sept 15th, Saturday at 10 am. ============================================================== Respected Bhagavatottamas Ans1. All acharyas before Swami Ramanuja were called anuvritti prasanna acharya i.e. one who imparts knowledge to sishyas who have passed all the criteria in terms of basic knowledge, anushtana, perseverence etc. But Swami Ramanuja broke this chain (oraNvazhi) and introduced a simple criterion - " Desire to know". (This was a boon to people like us) Hence he was the first one to be hailed as Kripa mAtra prasanna acharya. Support: Manavala Mamunikal in Upadesa Ratthina malai - "Asai udayorkkellam AriyarkAl kUrumenru pEsi varambaruttAr pin" ====================================================== End of Sri U.Ve.
