HUMANISM ATOP THE TEMPLE TOWER

Alwars of South India occupy a conspicuous place among the God-intoxicated men of all nationals And times too. Dedication to the uplift of man was deemed devotion to the Supreme, they believed, Preached and acted. They served their fellowmen through several ministrations, and so are revered and remembered by godmen and God-seekers alike, down the ages, They instilled divinity and awakened the slumbering spiritual intiness through hymns, psalms, and songs for choral services also.

Among the twelve, Ramanuja is the brightest star. He expounded a philosophy of his own called Visistadvaitha and converted and illumined countless hovels into places of worship of intercontinental reputation. On the top of it, he codified and redefined rituals for offering prayer services to the Omnipotent God; and they are followed with mute submission and implicit faith. His concern for the progress of the less fortunate is matchless-his humanism is second to none but to it self, Look up and listen to his own words . .
