ramanuja & iyengers

jainsim means we immediately think of Bhagavan Mahaveera,
Bhaubali ....etc Same way we think only Ramanujacharya when we see any Iyengers , in reality Bhagavan Mahaveer was only a teertankara so also bahubali and there were many many teertankara or Gurus who followed Jainsim or principals of Jainsim much much before these great souls,but ...Bhagavan mahaveer popularized and made jainsim reach common people so that they can understand and apply in their daily life that is why we common people know Bhagavan mahaveer more then any other teertankara .like wise there were many Alwars or great souls who followed vaishnava pricipals much much before Ramanujacharya but Ramanujacharya perfected these principals and propagated and made it peculate down the line in a clear and lucid way so that we common people can understand and practice and that is the reason we identify iyengers with Ramajunacharya
