Bhagavath Ramanuja was always under divine grace of Kanchi Varadaraja, Under full compassion of Lord Ranganatha of Srirangam, An avatar of Adhisesha and a very dear one  to Thiruvengadamudayan. 

When any one wants to know about a guru, he needs to be introduced by someone who had greater understanding abou his work, teachings, glory etc. 

How to visualize a guru in physical form, who lived for 120 years, 999+ years back. Govinda Bhattar, a maternal Cousin of Bhagavath Ramanuja, also known as Embar remained a shadow of Bhagavat Ramanuja and close confident too. If any one can describe the beauty of Bhagavat Ramanuja well, there was no one better qualified than Embar.

Bhagavat Ramanuja's beauty

Govindat Bhatta was a maternal cousin of Bhagavat Ramanuja  It was Govinda Bhatta  who saved Bhagavat Ramanuja from the evil plans of Yadhava Prakasa, His guru. Govinda Bhatta gets attached to Lord Shiva and starts serving in Kalahasti Temple. Bhagavat Ramanuja wants Govinda Bhatta back in his fold so he requests Thirumalai Nambi to help. Finally Thirumalai Nambi brings Govinda Bhatta to Thirumalai and initiates back in Sri Vaishnavam. Govinda Bhatta Joins Bhagavat Ramanuja at Srirangam and takes sanyasam with blessings of Bhagavat Ramanuja and earns the name Embar.

Embar remained a shadow of Bhagavat Ramanuja and close confident too. If any one can describe the beauty of Bhagavat Ramanuja well, there was no one better qualified than Embar.
