The ashramam was establihsed following the path shown by the three gr3eat sages (Muni-Traya) viz. Srimath Nathamuni (824-924 CE), Srimath Yamuna Muni (916-1041 CE) and SrimathRamanuja Muni(1017-1137 CE).

The Goals and Purpose of the Organization 

Sri Ramanuja Philosophy :   Sri Vaishnavism or Sri Ramanuja’s Philosophy known as Visishtadvaita is the philosophy of the vedas. Sri Ramanuja wrote all his works guided by the works of Acharyas like Dramidar, Tankar, Guhadeva, Bhodayana, Nathamunigal and Alavandar. In a nutshell, Visishtadvaita philosophy states that SrimanNarayana is the Supreme Truth (para tatva). The easy way to attain His Divine Grace is through absolute and total self-surrender known as Prapatti. Everlasting bliss and enjoyment of the Lord’s attributes are the fruit (phala) that we get from him, on our doing, again with His Grace. 

Sri Ramanuja Mission Inc. 

Sri Ramanuja Mission Inc. of Srirangam Srimad Andavan Periyasramam has been formed with a sole objective of serving the cause of Sri Vaishnavism by upholding the principles established Sri Ramanujacharya.

  • To promote the awareness and understanding of Sri Vishistadvaitha (Sri Ramanuja) philosophy in U.S.A and outside India.
