Krishna and Ramanuja: 7 common traits...

VERY BEAUTIFUL EXCERPT FROM #"LEXICOGRAPHY OF RAMANUJACHARYA - FOUNDER OF VISISTHADVAITAM" BY T. RENGARAJAN#!

"Scholars have drawn comparisons between Ramanuja and Krishna:

1. Krishna is the younger brother of Balarama (also called Rama) and is therefore Ramanuja [note by Vishnudut1926: because OM VishnuPad Shree RamanujAcharya is the Avatara of AnantaShesha (BalaRama), so Krishna is the younger brother of Shree RamanujAcharya]

2. Krishna is the 8th child of Devaki and Vasudeva. Ramanuja is
the 8th in the line of Acharyas after Vishwaksena, Shatagopa, Nathamuni, Pundareekaksha, Ramamishra, Yamunacharya and Mahapurna.

3. While Krishna annihilated Kamsa, Ramanuja vanquished the opponents of Vishistadwaitha [note by Vishnudut1926: opponents = asuric advaitins and their demonic moha-shastras]

4. Krishna was born in Mathura, grew up in Gokula and settled in Dwaraka. Ramanuja was born in Bhoothapuri, grew up in Kanchi and settled in SriRangam.

5. Krishna liberated Nala-Koobara (Yamularjunabhanga). Ramanuja liberated souls by cutting asunder bondage of Sukha-Dukha and Papa-Punya [note by Vishnudut1926: Yamala-Arjuna Leela is from "Shreemad-Bhagavatam", 10th Chapter from 10th Song]

6. Krishna had established supremacy over the 7 worlds (and also the 7 underworlds). Ramanuja established supremacy in Shruthi, Smrithi, Purana, Itihasa, Agama (PanchaRatra and Vaikhanasa), Prabhandham and Acharyasukthi.

7. Krishna protected PanchaPandavas. Ramanuja confined ArthaPanchaka and led to Jnanamarga".

[note by Vishnudut1926: "ArthaPanchaka" means 5 crucial questions jiva must get replies to before attaining Mukti. They are: 1. The Nature of Brahman (Shree MahaLakshmi-Narayana) to be attained 2. The nature of jivatman 3. the means to attain Brahman 4. The result of attaining Brahman 5. The obstructions in attaining Brahman. Shree RamanujAcharya answers these 5 crucial questions in His Granthas!]

🙏Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha🙏
