About Swamiji

His Holiness Sri Sri Sri Tridandi Astakshari Sampath Kumara Ramanuja Jeeyer Swamiji is one of the representatives of Sri Vishistadvaita Sampradaya which is strongly propagated by Yatiraja Sri Bhagavad Ramanuja. Sri Swamiji is hailing from Andhra Pradesh (India) preaching and practicing Sampradaam by spreading the fragrance of Sri Vaishnavism in the nook and corner villages of the country. By invoking world peace and tranquility, H H Sri Swamiji conducts various Collective Poojas, Homams and Yagams in and around Andhra Pradesh. To Prapagate Sanathana Dharma Sri Swamiji regularly have tours which are prefixed by the devotees. It is the Year of Sri Swamiji’s 10th swearing year of Sanyasa Deekhsa (taking Saffron robes and Tridandam).

            Sri Venkateswara Swamiji Temple, Asharamam and a monthly magazine named “Bhaktaamrutam” are running successfully under the kind guidance and blessing of H H Sri Swamiji. Sri Swamiji’s kind blessing s are reconstructing the age old temple at Ullipalem in Krishna Dist. Swamiji also blessed all the devotees to go to villages to help the poor and needy. Sri Swamiji’s aim is to see that the age old tradition of our country should be safely handed over to the next generation. It should not be affected at any cost. For this, Sri Swamiji is adopting regular tours and various programmes to spread the message rapidly to all the courners of the world.

Goshala and Matham are regularly maintained by paying low amount to the people who are highly needed. Swamiji’s Dhanurmasam of this year is being celebrated in various places of Khammam Dst . The Brief Description of Swmiji’s attire and its meaning is highly helpful to the new readers of our sampradaya.                        

"The sacred thread "Upveetam" glitters in this chest. The twelve "Urdhva 
pundrams" marks representing the divine foot of Lord Vishnu add more divinity 
to his divine body. The "Tridandam" three sticks tied together as per the 
scriptures is in his hand symbolizing the goodness for all worlds. With the 
"Sikha" bunch of hair in head tied, "Kamandalam" a vessel for carrying holy 
water, wearing the "Kashayam" saffron robes, Bhagavat Ramanuja shines as the Yatiraja - king among "Sanyasis" with his unparalleled and unsurpassed 
knowledge, wisdom and his renouncement from material desires. He advocated 
Visistadvaita Shree Vaishnava philosophy and practice, which is "Parama 
VaidikaMatam".  A philosophy which proved to be rational and in strict accordance to a flawless domain gives answer to all questions which are not answered by science. Amongst manifold philosophies, the philosophy of Veda prevailing in India from very ancient time once lost its hold due to the advent of anti-veda movements and misinterprets of Veda. It was then nearly 1000 years ago Adi  Sesha incarnated as Bhagavat Ramanuja and reestablished the parama vaidika matham - Visistadvaita Shree Vaishnava philosophy and practice, which is the only purport of Veda. From that point onwards, the matham got the name 
"Bhagavat Ramanuja Darsanam" only to signify the importance of this greatest 
preceptor.
