Week-long celebration in honor of Swamy Pillailokacharya

[Guest guest]

Respected Ramanuja da:sas,

 

In the vast history of the universal spiritual philosophy that has

come to be known as Sri: Vai:shnavam, a few people stand along-side

with Bhagavad Sri Ramanuja in their knowledge, devotion and

commitment. One of these rare souls is Sri Pillai Lo:ka:cha:rya

Swa:mi, who unfurled the teachings of the Ve:das and the mysticism of

the A:lwa:rs as a path to living a good life as a humble servant to

the Supreme Being.

 

This month marked the 800th birthday of this great scholar's Holy

Appearance Day, which was celebrated by followers of the Ramanuja

tradition throughout the world. A synopsis of the events that took

place at what is the most important temple to our faith, Srirangam, is

summarized in today's Hindu:
