Ramanuja

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Ramanuja (c. 1017–1137)

Indian teacher and philosopher of Vaishnavism, the worship of the Hindu god Vishnu. He taught the path of self-surrender to a personal God and laid the foundation for the bhakti movement in Hinduism. He looked upon individual souls as distinct from God and advocated devotion as superior to knowledge. He countered Sankara's advaita (non-dual) philosophy of pure monism with vishishtadvaita, ‘non-duality in difference’.
