Yadava Prakasa (Sanskrit: यादवप्रकाश, romanized: Yādavaprakāśa) was a Bṛhaddevatā[1] Vedanta scholar and a contemporary of Vaishnava acharya Ramanuja.
It is said that Ramanuja joined Yadava Prakaasa's school while he was only sixteen years old.
This eventually led Ramanuja to break away from Yadava Prakasa and expound his own school of thought known as Vishishtadvaita.
So Yadava Prakasa tried to get rid of Ramanuja during a tour to the Ganges in north India.
Later, Yadava Prakasa realised his folly and became a disciple under Ramanuja.
