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
