RAMANUJA |
|
| A sanyasi must
give up his house, renounce the world including wife and children. He must put on yellow
robes. His name was changed to Yatiraj. To complete his studies, Ramanuja went another Acharya. His name was Tirukkottiyur Nambi. He refused to teach him. Yatiraj, as he was now called, went to him six times, but every time, he was turned away. When he met him for the seventh time, he agreed. He taught him the sacred mantra. When Yatiraj was about to leave, Nambi warned him: "Don’t reveal this sacred Mantra to others." Ramanuja asked: "Sir, what is the benefit of chanting this mantra?" The Guru replied: "By repeating the mantra you can to God." |
