The Life of Ramanujacarya
Only a saint can truly write about a saint — and that is exactly what happened here.
The Life of Ramanujacharya was originally composed in Bengali by Swami Ramakrishnananda, a direct disciple of Sri Ramakrishna, whose own illumination gave him an insight into Sri Ramanuja's life that no scholar, however learned, could replicate. Translated into English by Swami Buddhananda, this commemorative edition was released for Sri Ramanuja's 1000th birth year and stands as one of the most complete and devotionally alive accounts of the great Vaishnava Acharya ever published in English.
The book moves through Ramanuja's life and philosophy with the warmth of a devotee and the rigor of a theologian — capturing the full stature of a world-teacher who reshaped the Sri Vaishnava tradition and whose influence on Indian spiritual life continues to this day. More than 150 color photographs are woven throughout, and extensive annotations and additional material enrich the text without interrupting its flow.
Whether you come to this book as a follower of the Vaishnava tradition, a student of Indian philosophy, or simply someone drawn to great lives lived in total dedication to God — this is a volume that will stay with you.
