Please join us on Vedics bridge for a talk on Sri Thirukkachi Nambi,

by Chi.SriRam Elayavalli, (Son of Sri ESBV Swami) on saturday Feb

27th at 8:00 am where He will talk about the 6 doubts that Swami

Ramanuja got cleared from Deva Perumal by Sri Thirukkachi Nambi. Sri

thirukkachchi nambi's birthstar falls on Sunday Feb 29th.

 

In the following paragraph a brief introduction given about Sri

Thirukkachi Nambi.

 

 

Thirukkachi Nambi's avathara sthalam was called Dharmapuri, present

day Puvirundavalli 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 (SriVaradharaja) 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)
