#SriRamanujar #SriRamanuja
Vaduga Nambi, disciple of Sri Ramanujar praised the Acharya as #Ubhaya_vibhuti_nayaka. This is a name used for Lord Narayana because He is the Lord and master of leela vibhuti — this world, and also of Sri Vaikuntha. But how is the name justified in the

case of Ramanuja? Lord Ranganatha left it to Ramanuja to decide who should enter Sri Vaikuntha. Until then it was the Lord Himself who had decided that. But now He gives Ramanuja that right of decision. Ramanuja, having been granted the Lord’s right, can be rightly addressed by a

name that belongs to the Lord!
Ramanuja served his teacher Tirvaranga Perumal Araiyar, by serving him milk and also grinding sandal paste for him, and this earned for him the name of #Vararangaanu_kampi, from Vaduga Nambi. Vaduga Nambi also referred to Ramanuja as

#Dravidaamnaaya_Saagara. Namamzhvar’s Tiruvaimozhi is referred to as Dravida Veda, and Tiruvaimozhi resides in Ramanuja, and hence this name. Another name Vaduga Nambi praises Ramanuja with, refers to his stint under Maalakaara, who taught him Tiruvaimozhi. Ramanuja gave meanings

which did not agree with those given by his teacher. Unhappy with the contradictory explanations from his pupil, Maalakaara stopped classes. But Tirukkoshtiyur Nambi told Maalakaara that Ramanuja was already knowledgeable, and he took to studying under Maalakaara, only to set an

example to others, showing them that they had to study under a qualified teacher. Vaduga Nambi makes a reference to the 74 devout Sri Vaishnavas whom Ramanuja appointed to spread the Visishtadvaita philosophy. #Panchacharya_padashraya, says Vaduga Nambi, indicating that Ramanuja

had five Acharyas, each of whom taught him different subjects. Just meditating in His different names given by different people will bring us joy and bring us close to God.
