His teachings combined deep philosophical insight with unconditional devotion and social inclusivenes Ramanujacharya Ji gave us school of Vishishtadvaita Vedanta (qualified non-dualism). According to this philosophy, the individual soul (Jiva) and the Supreme Soul (Paramatma) are distinct yet inseparably connected. While the soul is dependent on God, it retains its own identity. He taught that the ultimate liberation (Moksha) is attained through Bhakti (devotion) and complete surrender (Sharanagati) to Lord Narayana. At a timewhen caste discrimination and ritualistic orthodoxy prevailed, Bhagwaan Ramanujacharya broke social barriers. He welcomed devotees from all backgrounds, including lower castes and marginalized communities, into temples and spiritual life.

He systematized the worship at major temples such as Srirangam, Tirupati, and Melukote, laying the foundation for structured Vaishnavism. His pilgrimages across India helped spread the message of divine love, humility, and service to all corners of the subcontinent. He wrote several commentaries on sacred texts such as the Brahma Sutras, Bhagavad Gita, and Upanishads. His works, including the Sri Bhashya, are revered for their clarity and spiritual depth. Through these, he provided a bridge between scriptural knowledge and practical devotion, emphasizing that true knowledge leads to love of God.
