Sri Vaishnavism

Sri Vaishnavism is a tradition within Hinduism that emphasizes devotion to Lord Vishnu and his incarnations, particularly Vishnu’s avatars like Rama and Krishna. It combines philosophical ideas of Vishishtadvaita (qualified non-dualism), which sees the divine as both transcendent and immanent, with devotional practices (bhakti). Followers believe that ultimate liberation (moksha) is achieved through sincere love and surrender to Vishnu, recognizing his divine grace. Originating in South India, Sri Vaishnavism blends rich ritual, scripture study, and philosophical thought, fostering a deep spiritual connection with Vishnu as the supreme protector and benefactor.
