There are many statues in the world. A few known, many unknown!
A 216 feet high statue.. World’s second highest sitting statue… A statue celebrating the life of a hero.. A Hero who was born 1000 years ago … A broad minded person who regarded a non-bramhin as his guru … A revolutionist who after taking bath in the river went back to his asramam putting his hand over the shoulder of a disciple who belonged to a backward class….A hero who gave entrance as well as roles in the temple duties to the backward classes… The list goes on..
The hero is none other than Bhagavad Ramanujacharya. We are now celebrating his 1000 years appearance on earth.
