Guest guest Posted April 25, 2003 Report Share Posted April 25, 2003 I understand that Sri Ramanuja does not use that specific term sankîrtana in his writing -- but that he refers to the idea of it in his in the Gita bhAshy and in the Nitya (his manual of household worship) and in his Theology. Can anybody please tell me of these references and/or if there are copies of the above mentioned works on line I have also hear: Sri Ramanuja got the secret mantra from his guru who told him not reveal it to anyone and as soon Sri Ramanuja departed after getting the mantra he started chanting it loudly for all to hear. Then his guru asked him why he had revealed the mantra to so many by chanting it out loud and Sri Ramanuja replied that if the mantra had all the wonderful power and blessings that he said it had that he wanted to share it with everyone and not just keep it to himself. Is the above true or is it a tale... If it is true where can I read more about this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
