> Brief history of Sri Embar Jeeyar Mutt:

>

> IN 1834, IN THE STAR ROHINI OF AVANI MONTH OF JAYA

> YEAR, a son was born to Sri Raghavachariar and

> Janakiammal at Kapyamur near Thirukkovalur and was

> named as Krishnamacharyar. After upanayanam at the

> age of 5, he was given the basic vedic education and

> he mastered all the SAstras. He refused to get married

> as he wanted to devote his life serving the disciples

> of Sri Ramanuja.

>

> Sri Raghavacharyar Swami of Sholingar Sandamarudam

> Thodacharyar family came to Kapyamur and our

> Krishnamacharyar got pancha samkAram from Sri

> Raghavacharyar and became his disciple. Our

> Krishnamacharyar was presented with a Balaji idol and

> the same is now in the mutt. Later our

> Krishnamacharyar went to Thirumala and got sannyAsam

> from His Holiness The Periya Jeeyar of Thirumala and

> was named as Thiruvekata Satakopa Ramanuja EmbAr

> Jeeyar swAmI and came to SrIperumbudUr to serve SrI

> rAmAnuja.

>

> With the help of Sri Nathamuni Seshadri Iyengar of

> Veeranarayanapuram (kAttumannAr kOil), our embAr

> Jeeyar swami built the present embAr jeeyar mutt.

> Embaar Jeeyar swami organised several remarkable

> devotional activities in the temple of Sri Ramanuja

> and organised and streamlined the Gurupushya festival

> and Chitthirai festival in the temple of Sri Ramanuja.

> Our embAr Jeeyar swAmi attained the lotus feet of Sri

> ramanuja in the year 1883 at Sriperumbudur itself.

> Since the inception of embAr Jeeyar mutt, the

> successive Jeeyar swamis have been performing Sri

> Vaishnava samArAdhanam or offering prasAdam (food) to

> Sri Vaishnavas, especially the Divya prabandha

> chanters, during Chitthirai festival. Till date, this

> has been done successfully every year.
