The foundation stone for this was laid by HH Sri Sri Sri Tridandi Srimannarayana Ramanuja Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji on 2nd May 2014 at JIVA, Sriramanagaram, Muchinthal, Samshabad. R.R.Dist. Near Hyderabad. The Statue of Equality B h ag ava d Ra m a n u j a S a h a s ra b d i 2016 – 2017 During the period when the Sacred Mantra was considered indispensible to one and all – Bhagavad Ramanuja, said to His Guru - “Gurudev! If my act of disclosing the sacred Mantra redeems the sins and sufferings of the entire world, and I, as a result, deemed to rot in the worst of hells, am willing”. Startled Guru of Ramanujacharya embraced him at once proclaiming “em-perumana:re:”, which means “You have surpassed us” by carrying such a magnanimous selfless attitude towards welfare of the world. The scholars of that day thus declared Ramanuja as Emberuma:na:r. “Why not humans, when every creature is the child of God, despite their caste, creed, colour race or gender? Every man has the right to receive the Blessings of God. Declaring thus, for the first time in human history, Ramanujacharya escorted Harijans, the down trodden, into the temple, at Melkote, Karnataka. Exemplifying himself, Sri Ramanujacharya instructed the lineage of Acharyas not to discriminate or deny any sincere truth seeker from the mantra. The Decree of Lord Venkateswara - The Lord of Seven Hills Himself having accepted Ramanujacharya as His Guru, instructed the then King Ya:dava Ra:ja, “Let the divine commandent of Acharya Ramanuja, be sung in all corners of the world for all times to come” by His own words, “Ra:ma:nuja:rya Divya:jna: Vardhatha:m Abhivardhatha:m”. Gurum Praka:saye:th Dhi:ma:n! ‘A wise should glorify his Guru’, is the fiat from Vedic Scriptures. The Lord Himself followed this celebrated Vedic decree by glorifying His Guru Acharya Ramanuja. This speaks volumes about Sri Ramanujacharya Swamy. Thus it becomes the minimum duty of every devotee to celebrate the millennium year of Ramanujacharya Swamy’s avathara, fast approaching during 2016-17. Shall we do the best as a token of our gratitude? If yes... Then, Come on! Here is a chance for us……... The approximate cost of this unique project is Rs.400 crores.
