At the beginning of his Srutaprakasika commentary on the Sribhashya, Sri

Sudarsana Suri gives praise to Bhagavad Ramanuja in the following words:

 

tasmai raamaanujaaryaaya nama.h parama-yogine ...

 

I would like to know if there are other traditional eulogies on Ramanuja

using the words yoga or yogin. (I am familiar with the one or two instances

in Swami Desika's Yatirajasaptati.) If you are aware of any such stanzas, I

would be very grateful to learn about them.

 

Ramanuja Dasa,

M. Gansten

Dear Martin,

 

Yes, there are other references to Ramanuja as a yogi.

The one that immediately comes to mind is the

Sloka-guruparamparA which is recited daily:

 

asmad deSikam asmadIya paramAcAryAn aSeshAn gurUn

SrImal lakshmaNa-yogi-pungava-mahApUrNau munim yAmunam |

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

P.S. Dear Friends: I still do not have email access, only

Web access. I apologize to those of you who have sent me

email. I will reply once my computer is properly setup

(sometime next week, hopefully).
