Sri Yamunacarya was horn around 916 AD. He had resided within the temple at Sri Rangam and was the spiritual master of Ramanujacarya of the Sri-sampradaya.
In the first chapter of Gita-mala, entitled Yamuna-bhavavaIi, Bhaktivinoda Thakura based his songs on the verses of Yamunacarya’s Stotra-ratna. Of the 62 verses in Stotra-ratna, he selected 27 upon which to base his songs.
In this short work we can vividly see the humility of a great devotee who has no other aspiration than to be reinstated in his original position as an eternal servant of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
For those of us who lament that we do not have such pure determination in Krsna consciousness, these prayers will prove to be an inspiration.
