Ramanuja is the main proponent of VisishtAdvaita philosophy.

Swami Vedanta Desika was the brightest star in the firmament of Visishtadvaita next only to Bhagavad Ramanuja.

Vedanta Desika and Pillai Lokacharya, disciples in the tradition of Ramanuja, had minor disagreements not on the philosophy, but on some aspects of the theology, giving rise to the Vadakalai and Thenkalai schools of thought, as explained below.

By then, because of the grace and tireless service this philosophy of Sri Ramanuja this philosophy of Sri Ramanuja got the name " Desika Sampradhayam ".

During the 11th century AD Ramanuja, a founder of Sri Vaishnava traditions of Vaisnavism had established the Pancharatra system of Vaisnavism for his followers and refuted the philosophy of Adi Sankara.

* The book, Sri Ramanuja, His Life, Religion, and Philosophy, states that the name " Narayana " means, " He who is the dwelling place i. e. the source, support and dissolving ground of all Jivas or souls, including inert matter.

He leaves aside the first ( of historic interest ), and the fourth ( due to the definitions of nirvana ), so that as exemplars of mystical experience he presents: ( a ) the Upanishadic " I am this All " which can be subdivided into ( i ) a theistic interpretaion or ( ii ) a monistic ; ( b ) the Yogic " unity " outside space and time, either ( i ) of the eternal monad of the mystic's own individual soul per the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali or ( ii ) of Brahman, the ground of the universe, per the advaita Vedanta of Sankara ; and, ( c ) the bhakti mysticism of love, per the commentary on the Bhagavad Gita by Ramanuja.

As used in the Bhagavad Gita, the Advaita philosopher Adi Shankara gave primary importance to jñāna yoga as " knowledge of the absolute " ( Brahman ), while the Vishishtadvaita commentator Ramanuja regarded knowledge only as a condition of devotion.

Ramanuja continues along the line of thought of his predecessors while expounding the knowledge expressed in the Upanishads, Brahma Sutras and Bhagavad Gita.

A poet, philosopher, logician, and a scrupulous Anushtatha he took upon himself the task of upholding the concepts preached by Bhagavad Ramanuja.

The Archa murthi of Hayagriva which was originally worshipped by Goddess Saraswati and handed over by her to Bhagavad Ramanuja was being subsequently worshipped by Pillaan and Pundarikaaksha.

Ramanuja also wrote a commentary on the Brahma sutra, called Sri Bhasya, which lays the foundations of the Vishishtadvaita tradition.

B. van Buitenen, a late professor of Indology at the University of Chicago points out that 10th – 11th CE South Indian Vaishnava theologians Yamuna and Ramanuja do not refer to Bhāgavata Purāṇa in their writings, and this anomaly needs to be explained before the geographical origins and dating are regarded as definitive.

Ramanuja, in Sri Bhasya 1. 1. 1., reiterates that inequality and diversity in the world are due to the fruits of karma of different souls and the omnipresent energy of the soul suffers pain or pleasure due to its karma.

Furthermore, Ramanuja believes that Vishnu wishing to do a favour to those who are resolved on acting so as fully to please Him, engenders in their minds a tendency towards highly virtuous actions, such as means to attain to Him ; while on the other hand, in order to punish those who are resolved on lines of action altogether displeasing to Him, He engenders in their minds a delight in such actions as have a downward tendency and are obstacles in the way of the attainment of God.

They are traditionally followers of Ramanuja and Vedanta Desika.

The Salutary Verses are sung in the Temples to ensure that these temples and the practices as established by the Aacharyas and Sri Ramanuja would be followed for ever.
