General definition (in Hinduism)

: WikiPedia: Hinduism

Ramanuja (traditionally, 1017鈥�1137 CE) was a Hindu theologian, philosopher, and scriptural exegete, born in a Tamil Brahmin family in the village of Sriperumbudur, Tamil Nadu. He is also known as Sri Ramanujacharya, Udayavar, Ethirajar (Yatiraja), Emberumannar and Lakshmana Muni. He is seen by Sri Vaishnavism as the most important Acharya (teacher) of their tradition who followed Nathamuni and Yamunacharya, and by Hindus in general as the leading expounder of Vishishtadvaita, one of the classical interpretations of the dominant Vedanta school of Vedic philosophy.

Swami Ramanuja incorporated teachings from 5 different people who he considered to be his Acharyas

Peria Nambigal (Mahapurna),
Thirukkotiyur Nambigal (Ghoshtipurna),
Periya Thirumalai Nambigal (Shailapurna),
Tirum膩lai Aandaan (Maladhara),
Azhwar Thiruvaranga Perumal Arayar (Vararanga).

: World Philosophy: Hinduism

搁腻尘腻苍耻箩补 (c. 1077-1157 CE) continued in the Ved膩nta tradition of 艢a峁卥ara, which took its inspiration from the Upani峁ds. Both agree that reality is ultimately a single divine entity. But where 艢a峁卥ara took the appearances around us as illusionary appearances of the real oneness, 搁腻尘腻苍耻箩补 argued they were real - parts of the ultimate oneness. He tied this oneness to a personal God, Lord Vi峁ａ箛u.

: Oxford Bibliographies: Hinduism

搁腻尘腻苍耻箩补 (traditional dates b. 1011鈥揹. 1137 CE) is a Tamil Brahmin and a major figure both in the development of Hindu theism and of the Ved膩nta tradition of religious philosophy. [...] 搁腻尘腻苍耻箩补 is revered as its principal teacher (腻肠腻谤测补) by the south Indian 艢r墨 Vai峁ａ箛ava tradition, centered on the worship of the male deity Vi峁ａ箛u in the form of N膩r膩ya峁嘺 together with his consort, 艢r墨. 艢r墨 Vai峁ａ箛avism developed as a form of devotional theism (bhakti) based on the Tamil hymns of the poet saints, the 膧岣籿膩rs (6th鈥�9th centuries CE), while also drawing on the P膩帽car膩tra tradition of theistic doctrine and ritual. Writing in Sanskrit, 搁腻尘腻苍耻箩补鈥檚 greatest achievement was to develop a realist and theist interpretation of the Ved膩nta.

: Yoga Studies: Hinduism

搁腻尘腻苍耻箩补, was a disciple of 艢r墨 Y膩mun膩carya. 艢r墨 Y膩mun膩carya, composer of texts such as the G墨t膩rtha Sa峁僩raha, Siddhi Traya and Stotra Ratna, was the grandson of the 9th century sage 艢r墨 N膩thamuni and a forebear of T Krishnamacharya. Krishnamacharya鈥檚 personal devotional philosophy and practices were grounded in the teachings that arose from these great sages and evolved into what became known as Vi艣i峁ａ弓膩dvaita or qualified non-dualism (One of the three primary schools of Ved膩nta).
