Dear devotees,

namO nArAyaNa.

 

In the previous posting, the chart didn't come out properly.

Hence a second attempt.

 

Please go through the following chart to have an idea

of the KEtANDipaTTi SwAmi AchArya parampara, which

belongs to the Munitraya AchArya Parampara.

 

note : The (S) mark means that, the AchArya was a sannyAsi

and the (G) mark means that, the AchArya was a

gruhasta.

Three SannyAsis viz. (1) SrInivAsa Muni, (2) VazhuttUr SwAmi

(VEdanta RAmAnuja Muni alias "VazhuttUr Andavan" alias

"SrIrangam SwAmi") and (3) SrI SeeyAlam RanganAtamuni

were disciples of SrI Thirukkudanthai GOpAladESikan, who

was a gruhasta. Because of these three Munis, the AchArya

Parampara that followed them came to be known as Munitraya

AchArya Parampara.

 

SrI Navaneetam KrishnamAchArya, SrI Garudapuram swAmi

(who later became a sannyAsi) and SrI ChEttalUr NrusimhachArya

(another very famous AchArya) were classmates while learning

under SrI ThiruvahIndrapuram (Chinna) swAmi <SrI SrInivAsa

RAmAnuja MahAdESIkan>.

 

 

SrI Kapistalam DESikAchArya was another great scholar of the

past. He learnt SrI BhAshyam under SrI KEtANDipaTTi SwAmi.

SrI Kapistalam swAmi, who was a Professor in the Tirupati

College, was instrumental in making UttamUr SwAmi join that

college as his (junior) colleague.

 

Since both UttamUr SwAmi and MadhurAntakam swami belongs to

the AchArya parampara of SrI KEtANDipaTTi swAmi, they

addressed themselves as brothers. Also, SrI UttamUr SwAmi

with MadhurAntakam SwAmi as a classmate, learnt Sanskrit

literature from SrI Garudapuram SwAmi.
