Sri Vaisnavism outside India
Srirama Ramanujacharya (Sydney, Australia)
Srirama Ramanujacharya was born into orthodox Jewish family in Isreal. He studied Judaism, Christianity and Islam in Jerusalem and his interest in eastern mysticism led him to India. He studied advaita in Rishikesh and Sanskrit in Benares. He spent some time in South India studying Tamil, Sri Vaisnava theology and liturgy as well as astrology and yoga.
Srirama Ramanujacharya was first ordained as a priest in the Sri Vaisnava tradition. Later in 1990, he became the first westerner to be confirmed as Acharya (Spiritual perceptor) by the Jeeyar of Sri Perumbudur.
An engaging and provocative public speaker, he serves as an advisor on Hinduism with the New South Wales state government. Apart from managing his "mutt" (spiritual center) in Sydney he also conducts religious services for the local Hindu community.
Working with yoga and new age groups the acharya conducts spiritual workshops in Australia and America (California). Fluent in Tamil, Sanskrit, Hindi, Arabic and Hebrew, he had translated and written commentaries on Sri Vaisnava literature such as
* Andal's - Tirupavai (Tamil)
* Pillai Lokacharya's - Srivacana Bhusanam (Tamil)
* Ramanuja's - Gita Bhasya (Sanskrit)
* Vishnu sahasranamam (Sanskrit)

Sri Renganathar Temple (Kajang, Malaysia)
Situated in an obscure town in Malaysia, perhaps, this is the only temple in the Asia-Pacific region that follows the pancaratra agama tradition of Sri Vaisnavism.
Administered by Head Priest, Ramanuja Muniandy, the temple caters to the spiritual needs of local Hindus. Apart from religious service, the temple also conducts social and charitable activities.

Klang has sundararaja perumal temple - popularly known as south east asia tirupathi. At almost 120 years, its one of the oldest temples here. In 2006, the temple was awarded ISO 9001:2000 certification for its quality sustained contribution in religious, cultural and social service to Hindus. This is probably the first Hindu shrine in the world to receive an international quality service acknowledgement.
Subang Jaya's official temple is sri varadharaja perumal temple. Puchong nearby has two perumal temples, the large and popular one being sri srinivasa perumal temple.
Jai Srimannaryana !
