Sri Ramanuja Jayanthi.

The Ramanuja Tiru Nakstram Ceremony was organised by Sri Vaishnava Seva Sangham, Hyderabad.

The birth anniversary of Ramanujacharya (1017 – 1137) who first advocated freedom to choose one or more personal deities and to attain moksha through bhakti or devotion. Today, the majority of Hindus in the country pray to one or more gods of their choice.

Ramanuja, a native of Tamil Nadu, amalgamated the philosophy of the Upanishads and the Brahmasutras. He championed faith based on reason rather than intuition and believed that devotional worship of Lord Vishnu, in any form, was the ideal path to salvation.
