History on Ramanuja

From the Bhakti List Archives

Shruti Dhara • March 29, 2002 


Dear Bhagavatas,

I remember reading years ago of a narrative account of the life history of 
Ramanuja.

Therein it was described that Ramanuja, upon entering Yamunacharya's ashram 
his teacher was leaving the world. Three fingers were raised on the 
preceptor's hand and Ramanuja stated the heart's desire of his guru. One by 
one the fingers lowered and he was accepted as the natural successor of 
Yamunacharya and set out later to fulfill these wishes.

Kindly respond if the above account is accurate? What sources are there for 
the history of Ramanuja's life and of this event?

Thankyou again.

Ys,
Jagadish
