RAMANUJA

Ramanuja then asked: "If I reveal it to others, what will happen?"

The Guru answered: "You will go to hell." At once Ramanuja climbed to the top of a higher tower, called all the people in the street together and shouted the sacred mantra for all to hear!

The Guru called him and asked: "Why did you do that? I told you not to!"

Ramanuja said: "Sir I did not want to disobey you. I only wanted the whole world to benefit by this mantra, and you become the benefactor, even if I had to go to hell for it!

The Guru was pleased to hear this and blessed Ramanuja: "May you open a new path in religion."

Ramanuja now learned all that was necessary to fulfil his promise to Alavandar.
