Swami Mudaliandan was born in 1027 A.D at Pachhai Vaarana Perumal Sannidhi

(referred to as " NazarethPettai " today) in Thondai mandalam, to Anandanarayana

Dheekshidar and Nachiyaramman. Anandanarayana Dheekshidar did not have any

children for a long time. He undertook a yatra to Thiruvengadam to worship Lord

Thiruvengadamudayan and pray for a child. On his way at Thiruninravor, where he

stayed overnight at Yeri Katha Ramar's sannadhi, Sriramar (Anandanarayana

Dheekshidar's thiruvaradana perumal) appeared in his dream and instructed that

he need not undertake yatra to Thiruvengadam for begetting a son as

Thiruanandazvan(Adi Shesha, Five headed Serpent, on whom The Lord reclines ) has

taken birth as Ramanujar in Sriperumbudur and that he (Lord) will be born as his

son to serve Sri Ramanuja.

 

It is believed that Perumal was very impressed by Thiruvananthazvan's kainkaryam

as Lakshmana to him (Lord Rama) in Ramavatharam and wanted to taste kainkarya

ruchi(Taste of Servitude) himself. Thus, when he was born as Krishna in

Krishnavataram he performed kainkaryam to Balarama (Who in turn is

Thiruvananthazvan's amsam). Not fully satisfied with this, when

Thiruvananthazvan appeared as Sri Ramanuja in Kaliyuga, he was reborn as

Mudaliandan and did kainkaryam to Sri Ramanuja and felt satisfied. Thus

Mudaliandan is an amsam of Lord Rama

 

Nachiyaramman was the elder of Swami Emburumanar's two sisters. Hence

Mudaliyandan is called SrI-ramanuja's BhaginEya (sister's son). Anandanarayana

Dheekshidar named the child as Dasarathy. Dasarathy refers to Dasaratha's sons.

This normally refers to Lord Rama. He was born in Vadamal Kulam, Vadhoola

Gothram, Yajus sakhaai, Apasthamba Soothram in Prabava varusham, Chitra masam,

Punarvasu natchatram.

 

His other names are Ramanujan Ponnadi, Sri Vaishnana Serobooshanam and Ramanuja

Paduka. The 'Tiruvadinilai' (= the sanctified mount of the footwear, The ~~

pAdukA ~~ of divinity and holy personages) of the Lord is named after Swami

Nammazhvar as 'SrI-Sathakopam' or 'Sathari', and the tiruvadi-nilai of Swami

Nammazhvar is known as Ramanujan. In the same vein, the pAdukA-pITham of svAmi

emperumAnAr is referred to as 'mudali-ANDAn'. This honorific is cited in the

'taniyan' of SrI ANDAn which goes :-

 

" pAdukE yati-rAjasya kathayanti yad-AkhyayA

tasya dASarathE: pAadav SirasA dhArayAam yaham " .

 

svAmi mudali-ANDAn is accordingly referred to as the rAmAnuja-pAdukA or

yatirAja-pAdukA. The short name is simply 'ANDAn'.

 

Sri U.Ve.K.K.V.A.Ramanujam, our Swamy, currently adorning the Acharya Peetam in

our Thirumaligai, is residing in our Thirumaligai in Singaperumal koil. The

Thirumaligai at Singaperumalkoil which was built many years ago is in a

dilapidated condition requiring extensive reconstruction. Our Swami had ordained

that a small sannaidhi be built in that land belonging to the Thirumaligai

before any reconstruction/modification work for the residential portion could

begin. Accordingly, work has been initiated to build a Sannidhi to house the

Thiruvaradhana perumals of our Thirumalaigai after which Mandapan,

Thirumadappalli, Goshala and Kannadhi Aarai, residential place for our Swamy

etc. are proposed for construction.

 

We appeal to all Thirumalaigai Sishyas to participate and contribute liberally

in this kainkaryam either cash or in form of Cement, Steel and Bricks as well.

All Contributions received by Cash, cheques or DD will be acknowledged with the

official receipt of Dasarathy Trust.
