To name a few that I can remember.

There are other greate vedantins not necessorily of the adviata

tradition

 

Ramanuja Chaarya, Madvachaarya, Vallabhaa charya, Vedanta Deshika

(originally known as Venkata Natha and who is the author of shata

dhuushhanii, vadahalai aachaarya), Manavaal Mahamuni(tengalai

achaarya),

Narayana Theertha, Jayatheertha (also known in the dvaita community

as

Tika charya - author of the famous book Nyaaya Sudha.

 

From the Buddhistic philosophy - the greate Nagarjuna also hails from

Andhra who formulated the maadhyamika philosophy.

 

In telugu - there is famous song by the famous composer Tyagaraaja -

who

wrote

yendaroo mahaanubhaavulu andariiki vandanaalu -There are many many

great sages - and my prostrations to all of them -says Tyagaraaja.

 

I cannot but bow down to all these great masters who left behind

their

scholarly works for the benefit of the Generations to come.

 

It is our obligation to these sages at least study and understand and

pass it to our next generation the greatest wealth that they have

provided.

 

Hari Om!

Sadananda
