Pre-Ramanuja status
From the Bhakti List Archives
• June 7, 2000
Dear bhaktas: Earlier I'd mentioned that most Mandya Srivaishnavas were originally Jains under King Bittideva of HoyasaLa. Regardless of the truth of this statement, no "corollary" was intended. We know that Ramanujar himself was born into a VaDamAL family that followed Yajur Veda. Some of the Azhwars were also Saivites or Jains, prior to their entering the Vaishnavite fold. It all goes to show, that one's beginnings do not necessarily determine one's entire lifespan and legacy. Some of the Mandya Srivaishnavas today are known to be the most faithful followers of Ramanuja sampradayam.
