MIND, MATTER AND GOD : JIVA, JADA AND ISVARA M.M.NINAN RAMANUJA (1017 -1137) VISHISHTADVAITA In order to create a world of inhomogenous nature, there must be inhomogenuity within the Brahman. This brings us to Vishista Advaita. 142
MIND, MATTER AND GOD : JIVA, JADA AND ISVARA M.M.NINAN Vishishtadvaita Vedanta ( literally "Advaita with uniqueness; qualifications" is nondualism of the qualified whole, in which Brahman alone exists, but is characterised by multiplicity. It can be described as qualified monism or qualified non-dualism or attributive monism. Vedanta Desika defines vishishtadvaita using the statement: “Asesha Chit-Achit Prakaaram Brahmaikameva Tatvam” Brahman, as qualified by the sentient and insentient modes (or attributes), is the only reality. Ramanuja (1017- 1137) is the main proponent of Vishishtadvaita philosophy. He is also known as Sri Ramanujacharya, Udayavar, Ethirajar, Emberumannar and Lakshmana Muni. Ramanuja's teacher Yamunacharya (the grandson of Nathamuni) was probably the initiator in Indian Philosophy for this throught. Others include, Bodhayana, Dramida, Tanka, Guhadeva, Kapardi and Bharuci. Bodhayana is considered to have written an extensive vritti (commentary) on the Purva and Uttara Mimamsas. Tanka is attributed with having written commentaries on Chandogya Upanishad and Brahma Sutras. Nathamuni collected the Tamil prabandhas, classified them, made the redaction, set the hymns to music and spread them everywhere. Yamunacharya renounced kingship and spent his last days in the service of the Lord at Srirangam and in laying the fundamentals of the Vishishtadvaita philosophy by writing four basic works on the subject. Other Acharyas of the Vishnavite tradition are: Nathamuni (823-923 AD) 143
