Sri
Ramanujar has the pride of place in the list of our Acharyars; he is hailed as
Udayavar, Emperumanar, Bashyakarar, Ilayazhwaar, Yathirajar, Thiruppavai
Jeeyar, Num Kovil annan, amongst other names. Our
darsana Sthapakar, Sri Ramanujar rightly reverred as ‘Yathi Rajar’ ~ the
king among yathis [hermits and sages, the greatest reformer he was,
Ramanuja gave us many vedantic treatises - toured the entire Country, making
the Srivaishnavatie tradition flourish in all his path.
Of
those who remained closest to Sri Ramanuja – Sri Mudaliandan, Sri Koorathazhwan, Sri Embar, Sri Ananthazhwan, Arulalaperumal Emperumanar,
Kidambi Achaan, Thirukurugai Piraan Pillan, Thiruvarangathu Amuthanar and more.
Sri Mudaliandan Swami is reverred as Trithandam
and Sri Koorathazhwan as Thiruppavithram for Swami Ramanujar. Sri
Mudaliandan was born as Dasarathi and now hailed as ‘Yathiraja Paduka’ –
thiruvadi of Bhagwat Ramanujar.
