The Bhajan is in essence a “definition” of “Vaishnav”.

Ramanujacharya’s life history depicts this depth of a true Vaishnava that goes beyond what this bhajan conveys. Every single incident in His life history is a clear mark of all such great virtues and more! We should be proud to have Statue of Equality being dedicated to such principled soul. His wisdom is a gateway to liberation not from only pain of the physical body – but also from flaws in intellect, ill health of mind, or bondage of the soul in a limited body!
Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji’s strict adherence to all the principles of a true Vaishnava is laying out the foundation for many generations! Every single person who comes to visit Swamiji says only one thing: ‘Unforgettable pleasant vibrant experience!’
