Sri Parasara Bhattar is the one of the sons of Sri
Kooratalwan. The Divya Dampathis themselves acted as
parents for him, as he was born after his mother, Sri Andal,
consumed "Prasadam" from the Sri Rangam temple.
Sri Bhattar was very proficient in the meanings of the
Divya Prabhandam, even at the age of five. Sri
Ramanujar and Embar acted as teachers for him.
It is said that Sri Alavandar and Sri Ramanujar prayed
before the Sri Rangam Peria Perumal to bless the Acharya
lineage by bringing a child to this world, fit enough to be
named after Sri Parasarar. That child is Sri Parasara
Bhattar.
He spread Sri Visishtadvaita philosophy through out India
and went till Gangotri in North India to bring people and
pandits into Sri Vaishnava fold.
