Topic: Ariyakudi Ramanuja Iyengar


  
  Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Ramanuja   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Ramanuja was born Ilaya Perumal to a brahman family in the village of Perumbudur Tamil Nadu India in 1017 AD.
Ramanuja was deeply moved and in the presence of the body of his would-be guru he pledged to God to do as he had been requested.
Ramanuja regards this as an absurdity: given that Advaita claims that Brahman is pure self-luminous consciousness, obscuration must mean either preventing the origination of this (impossible since Brahman is eternal) or the destruction of it - equally absurd.
