Explanation:

Bhakti movements in India :

Ramanuja was a leading proponent of the Vish-ishtadvaita subschool of Vedanta philosophy and a signi fi cant exponent of the Sri Vaishnavism lineage.
Vishishtadvaita refers to a non-dualism of a quali fi ed whole that is marked by multiplicity.
To put it another way, it thinks that “all diversity is subsumed by an underlying unity” (quali fi ed monoism).
His heritage is related with the Srirangam Ranganatha temple in Tamil Nadu. In the village of Sriperumbudur, Ramanuja was born into a Tamil Brahmin family (present-day Tamil Nadu).
His Vaishnava disciples published hagiographies, some of which were written centuries after his death and are believed to be accurate by the Vaishnava tradition.
