Sri Ramanujan
The story of Ramanujacarya is actually the story Sri Vaisnavism in India. Unlike Madhva or Caitanya, who can justifiably be called the founders of their particular school of Vaisnavism, Ramanuja is not the founder of Sri Vaisnavism. Instead, he is an important member among a great succession of followers that trace themselves to the time of the Rg-veda. The school is known as Sri Vaisnavism because Sridevi, otherwise known as the Goddess Laksmi, is said to be its original propounder. In this system Sridevi holds an important theological position alongside Visnu and together they form the basis of ultimate reality. The descriptive name for the philosophy of Sri Vaisnavism is Visistadvaita.
