Appearance Day of Sri Ramanujacharya!

* One of the acharya's of the 4 sampradaya's. Acharya for Sri Sampradaya.
* He is actually aadi-shesha.
* Because of the heavy preaching done by Shankaracharya to drive out buddhism from India, impersonalism was prevalent, the Supreme Lord was being covered. So Adi-shesha himself had to descend to bring the Supreme Personality of Godhead back into their hearts.
* Yadavprakash, guru of Ramanujacharya, from the sankara philosophy.
* Pastimes many many. One: Eyes of of Vishnu are like the back of monkey, was being by this Guru. That time, Ramanujacharya's tears fell on his feet. Then Ramanuja explained: Kapi means Sun. When sun comes, Lotus blossoms. ==> the eyes of the SPG are like a lotus, and not like a monkey.
* ... pastimes about how Lakshmi Narayana save him and bring him back to Kanchipuram.
* Later, he starts to accept a low born, but a pure devotee as his Guru. A person who personally serves Lord Varadaraj....

Actually many many pastimes are present, but hard to cover in the 10 minutes of this conference call.
