Introduction
Gadyatraya, a prose poem composed in a supremely blissful trance
of overwhelming experience of the divine by Bhagavad Rāmānuja. This
poem written in prose is a stream of uninterrupted flow pen picturing the
transcendental experience with the divine, of the divine, about the divine
by Bhagavad Rāmānuja, who is a confluence of a great intellect,
philosopher, profound mystic above all a true altruist.
He is an altruist not only for his sharing of eternally elusive
experience of the divine with the common folk but also in inviting each
one to offer in his capacity the service unto Supreme Lord to vouchsafe
His unconditional compassion, again to serve Him eternally in His
sublimely transcendental abode Śrīvaikuṇṭha, here-after. What an
objective he has in mind for the devotee of the Lord to uplift him from
the depths of tribulations of mundane world, to make him ever joyful in
the services of the Lord, wherein he is untouched by worldly miseries.
Bhagavad Rāmānuja in his encomium on the Supreme Lord
Nārāyaṇa, with all humility converses with him, plead him, to be ever
gracious in granting an opportunity to remain subservient eternally to
the Lord. (To His holy feet)
The poet in Rāmānuja carves an image of sublimely marvelous
abode of Śrimannārāyaṇa namely 'Vaikuntha, there is a lucid lyrical flow,
at times prolix though, in the description of ever happy place, which is
redundant with golden gardens of fabulous flowers, ponds, promenades
so goes the commentary, of the abode devoid of even an iota of earthly
blemish, the ultimate destination, every Śrivaiṣṇava should aspire to reach
