Yadava Prakaasa

Yadava Prakaasa was an Advaita scholar and a contemporary of Vaishnava Acharya Ramanuja.[1] He was one of the teachers of Ramanuja during the latter's early years in Kanchi. It is said that Ramanuja joined Yadava Prakaasa's school while he was only sixteen years old.[2]

However severe differences rose between them early on, over the interpretation of several Vedic texts and scriptures on Hinduism like Chandogya Upanishad. This eventually led Ramanuja to break away from Yadava Prakaasa and expound his own school of thought which came to be known as Vishishtadvaita.[3]
