Thirutthuraipoondi Andavan gave sanyasam to Sri Srinivasaraghavachariar Swami who went on to become one of illustrious Acharyas of Munitraya Sampradayam, and unparalled among His contemporaries. This mahan later came to be known as the famous Srimath Periandavan.

 

SrinivasaRaghavan was born on 25.2.1801 in the year Roudri (Masi-pushyam) in a village called Piliyaranai near Kanchipuram. At a tender age of 10, he mastered rendering of Sama Veda learnt from his father, Sri Krishnamachariar which was considered to be an invaluable wealth in his family traditions.

 

Sri Krishnamachariar was extremely pleased with his son’s progress and took the young boy back to Kanchi . There, SrinivasaRaghavan learnt Nyaya – Meemamsa- Vyakarana Sastras under the tutelage of great scholars. Thereafter he went to Srirangam to see Srirangam Swami (Srimath Vazhutoor Andavan) and prayed for Saranagathi. Srimath Andavan , performed Atma samarpanam ( saranagathi) to him in front of Lord Sri Ranganatha’s sannidhi.

 

He went to Srirangam Swami and prayed to him that Swami perform kalakshepams to him on sampradayic granthams.. Thirutthuraipoondi Andavan took Agnya from Swami in carrying out this holy task and performed kalakshepams to Srinivasaraghavan on Grantha chatushtayam,Rahasyams and Rahasyarthas.

 

SrinivasaRaghavan gained exemplary knowledge in all that learnt from his Acharya. After some time, he prayed to Srimath Thirutthuraipoondi Andavan for the Dureeyasramam. As his near and dear objected to this, Srimath Andavan also felt that SrinivasaRaghavan be a gruhasta for some more time before taking up sanyAs and blessed him to go back to Kanchi.

 

In His gruhastasrama, SrinivasaraghavswAmi was blessed with a girl and He immediately felt that He had fulfilled his duties as a gruhasta. When Srinivasaraghavan swami went to Srirangam and prayed with thirutthuraipoondi Andavan for sanyasa, Swami tested Him in various ways to see whether He was ready to take up sanyasa . After getting convinced, Swami granted sanyasam to Srimath Periandavan and he was given the title “Srinivasa maha desikan”.

 

Since this mahan was so popular among his sishyas and admirers alike, he was fondly called as periandavan. For a long time he was residing in Srirangam . In a month, He would go to devout and pious Srivaishnava bhagavathas’ thiru maligai on selected seven to eight days for unccha Vritthi . He would take the grains to the banks of Coleroon river, wash them in the river water, cook them and eat the bhagavath prasadham along with thulasi leaves. On other days, he used to powder the dry leaves fallen from the Holy Fig tree and consume the same. Such was his Vairaghyam.

 

Sishya paramapara:- He remained deeply dedicated to the sampradayam and placed Srimad Andavan sampradayam on a firm footing and as a beacon light to thirsty aspirants. Upon Lord Ranganatha’s command to take disciples, and disseminate and propagate the Philosophy, several persons became His Disciples, and became erudite scholars and preceptors. Some of them were

 

1) Thirupputkuzhi Appa 2) Mannargudi Gopalanna 3) Vyakaranam Rangachariar 4) Meemisal Narasimhachariar 5) Chinnamu Rangachariar 6) Thirunelveli Gopalasamudram Narayanachariar 7) Shamala Chakravarthi and 8) Purisai Nadathur Rangachariar.

Sri Srinivasa Raghavachariar's (Periandavan's) asrama sweekaram took place around 1828. He observed Chathurmasyams for 55 years and he adorned thirunadu in subhanu varusham thai masam - krishna thrayodhasi thithi(1884-Jan-Feb)
