Saint Ramanuja  Ashtotharam

Translated by

P.R.Ramachander

(Saint Ramanuja was a great philosopher , a  great  devotee of Lord Vishnu  and a very great  social reformer.He was also endearing  referred to as “Yathi rajar”  and Udayavar (Conferred to him by Lord Ranganatha of Sri rangam temple)  by his devotees.His poorvasrama name was  Lakshmana Though there were many Vaishnavite saints  before him who mainly were exponents of Bhakthi , It was saint Ramanuja  who apart from following  their path also systematized the Vaishnava philosophy by writing commentary to the Prasthana Thraya .He also was a great social reformer. He could not find the need to differentiate between a devotee and another devotee. The author of the Ashtotharam   writes in his  introduction :-

Dear Bhagavath RaamAnuja SiddhAnthins and abhimAnis:

On this SvabhAnu SrI RaamAnuja Jayanthi , adiyEn would
like to attempt the assembly of an AshtOtthara Satha NaamAvaLi
for our most revered AchAryan , YathirAja Saarvabhouman , 
SrI BhaashyakArar. adiyEn seeks the anugraham of asmath 
AchAryan , SrI NaarAyaNa yathIndhra MahA Desikan 
in this sthOthra maala construction Kaimkaryam.

adiyEn will assemble the NaamAvaLi from the various
tributes of PoorvAchAryAs like Swamy Desikan (Sri YathirAja
Sapthathi ) and others who preceded him or ascended acharya
peetams after him (Swamy Desikan) .

There is a beautiful AshtOttharam by SrImadh Andhra PoorNar,
a direct disciple of AchArya RaamAnujA . adiyEn will include
special nAmAs from there as well along with those from
SrI RaamAnuja Vimsathi of Swamy MaNavALa MaamunigaL. 
This garland of nAmAs is like a kadhambha mAlA with
the fragrance assoicated with the dhivya Saarasvatham of
our great AchAryAs eulogizing their ParamAchAryan. 
My effort is limited to construct a garland with
the ever fragrant nAmAs chosen by SrI VaishNava AchAryAs
belonging to SrI Bhagavath RaamAnja SiddhAntham. 

All of us can not sing enough the praise of our
greatest AchAryan, SrI Bhagavath RaamAnujar of
SrIperumbhUthur , who is enjoying His uthsavam
right now at His avathAra Sthalam and will conclude 
it with Gandha Podi Uthsavam on May 7 , the day after
His Thirunakshathram of Chittirai ThiruvAdhirai. “
