Dear Swamin, The answer lies in your question itself. I am just swapping the sequence of information present in your question: >From what i have learned from their life events, is that both were very humble and never claimed to be anything other than servants of the lord. > Now Sri Vaishnava sampradaya is 100% bonafide according to shrastras, i just wanted to know which shastras and authority provide us with the information that Sri Andal and Sri Ramanuja are Bhudevi avatara and Sesha avatara respectively. Similar to Sri Kothai Naacchiyaar and Sri Emperumaanaar, bhudevi as well as adiseshan are humble servants of the lord. We must actually try proving whether Bhudevi and Sesha really have capabilities that could be compared with the former in terms of bhagavad and bhaagavada abhimaanam and priyam rather than vice-versa. adiyEn, rAmAnuja dAsan --- In ramanuja@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "tesh_tel" <tesh_tel@...> wrote: > > Srimathe Ramanujaya Namah > > Dear devotees, > Jai Sri Krishna. > > I have one issue which i am keen to have some knowledge about.
