In the following paragraph a brief introduction given about Sri Thirukkachi

Nambi.

 

 

Thirykkachi Nambi’s avathara sthalam was called Dharmapuri, present day

 

Puvirundamalli or Pundamalli. He was born in Shobhakruth year, month Masi

 

Star Muragaseerusham. His Thirunamas are Thirukkachi Nambi, Sri Kanchipurnar and

Sri Gajendra Dasar. He lived in Kanchipuram, and His kainkaryam was fanning

Devaraja Perumal. His work was Varadharajashtakam and Devaperumal (Sri

Varadharaja) used to talk to Him. Sri Alawandar was shown Swami Ramanuja by

Thirukkachi Nambi when He was given the name Amudhalvan.

 

After Yadhava Prakasa told Ramanuja not to come back to classes, because of His

 

disagreements with His teacher, His mother told Him to get acquainted with

Thirukkachi Nambi, and start learning kainkaryams from Him. So from a very young

age Swami Ramanuja was greatly influenced by Thirukkachi Nambi and He got

Ramanuja the kainkaryam of getting water from Salai Kinaru ( road side well) to

Deva Perumal. After associating with Him for a while Swami Ramanuja requested

Thirukkachi Nambi to be His Acharya, which He declined gently saying that He

wasn’t qualified and also He knew the greatness of Ramanuja before anyone else.

He got six of Swami Ramanuja’s doubts cleared from Deva Perumal. It was

Thirukkachi Nambi who guided Swami Ramanuja to Peria Nambi for Pancha Samskaram.

 

 

 

His Thaniyan is:

 

“Devaraja dayapathram Srikanchipurna muthamam

 

Ramanujamuner manyam vandeham sajjanasrayam”
