Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha.
 
Jai Sri krishna
 
My quiery is sligtly of the topic but relates to Bhagavatam and Vishistadvaitam.
The Srimad Bhagavatam is clearly a very important scipture for SriVaishnvas as its only deals with the lilas of Our Lord.  However when reading about the life of Sri Ramanuja, it seems that He did not mention Bhagavatam much.  I know Ramanuja held mentions Vishnu Purana in his works a lot.  Is there a reason why Bhagavatam did not feature much in His works?? Also are there any commentries written by our purvacharayas on the Bhagavatam???

Narasimhan Swamin,

Srimad Bhagavatha Mahapuram is one of the 6 satvika puranams and per our Sri Vaishhava view it is considered authentic.

I am also reading the series in the Thuklaq magazine. what the editor of
Thuklaq is writing is the same way as all advaitins have been talking. It is not out of place to mention here about them as 'Prachanna Saivities' (disguised Saivas)

It is true that Dattatreya's account is mentioned . None of our Acharyas would negate this.

The very first slokam 'of Srimad Bhagavatam, beginning with 'Janmasyatya' clearly establishes Vishistadvaita.

In several places in Srimad Baghavatam, the paratvam of Peruman is clearly established .

Most of the quotes of our Alwars are only from Srimad Bhagavatam.

The issue here is Sri Cho Ramaswamy (Editor, Thuklaq) chooses to
elaborate only those place where it is convenient to advaitins and establish something such as 'all Mumoorthies are same' (Mumoorthy Samyam)

From the view of Sarira Sariri Bhava of Sri Vishitadvaita, this is true. However, viewing from Seshi/sesha relationship, Srimad Bhagavatam clearly says which God is the primordial God.

The blame need to go to the editor and not to the Srimad Bhagavata Mahapurnam.

Adiyen,

Regards
KM Narayanan
