Dear Devotee,

>From what I can recall from my readings on the subject from a few years ago,
the paramparai from Ramanuja to Ramananda is far too sketchy to be clearly
defined. The only things that we do know is that Sri Ramanand Swamy was
originally from Melkote, and had studied under an AchArya purusha/Jeeyar who
is only known as Raghavacharya in his writings.

Sri Ramanand did not defer from Bhagavad Sri Ramanuja's position in any way,
but instead, formed a separate branch of His sampradAyam under the behest of
his AchArya, who was concerned about how the inclusion of Muslims and
Harijans into the fold without formal panchasamskAram, as well as in
partaking and distribution of prasadam among them would be viewed by the
orthodox.

In order to make the tradtion more accessible and understandable to the
people of the North, Ramanand Swamy was free to make a few minor
modifications to the faith, stressing the worship of Sri Rama using the
Taraka mantra and other mantras associated with surrender to Him, and also
allowing Him to bring in such devotees as Kabir and Nanak without formal
initiation into the fold.

I hope this helps.
