Ramanuja's Visishtaadvaitha in a nut shell.
PraNAmam to all.
Many are interested in knowing the main Teachings -Siddhaantha - of Swami Ramanuja in a nut shell.
The following will summarise the same and it will be very easy to tell others , especially children, who enquire us about the uniqueness & the basics of Visistaadvaitha Principle established by Sri Ramanuja.
*****************
The matter (Achit), the soul (chit) and Isvara (Paramaatma) called Thathva Thraya ( The three Thathvaas ) are real.
Brahmam is One and It is Sriman Narayana. He has Definite Form and All Kalyana GunAs. He is The Sole & Supreme Creator, Protector and Anhilator
Lord Sriman Narayana is the embodiment of Sathyam (Truth) , Gnanam (Knowledge) and Anantham (Eternity).
He is present in everything as Antharyaami , ie the the Inner Self of Chit as well as Achit.
Lord Sriman Narayana is the Absolute and only Master, Controller and Supporter of The Whole Universe and He is Totally Independant ( Swathanthra).
The teaching "Thathvamasi" and such other dictums equating the souls to The Paramaathma are not tenable.
************************
The above is written with an interest that it may be of use to many who are desious knowing The Teachings of Swami Ramanuja . While what is stated above are the Teachings of our AchAryAs, any thing that may not be correct is totally owned by me.
Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha.
