Summary
An important preceptor of medieval India and the proponent of the
Visishtadvaita school of thought, Ramanuja established the supremacy of
the Sri Vaishnava dimension of Hinduism.
Indira
Parthasarathy’s play, originally written in Tamil and published in
1997, is based on the life, ideas, and beliefs of Ramanuja. Retrieving
its subject from the shackles of establishment, the play foregrounds
Ramanuja’s open-mindedness and spiritual equality. The ideas and
beliefs of Ramanuja hold ground even after 900 years, and the play
brings to light one of his most progressive social measuresâ€â€initiate
everyone into spiritual knowledge.
The English translation by T. Sriraman captures the tone of the Tamil
original and makes the world-view of Ramanuja accessible to a wider
audience. The reader’s perception of the historico-social context of
Ramanuja’s life and mission is enhanced by C.T. Indra’s critical
introduction and extensive commentary.
The play and the critical apparatus will appeal to students and
scholars of literature in general and Tamil literature in translation
in particular, as also those interested in cultural and religious
studies and the history of medieval India.
