A brief note about HH Thillasthanam Swamigal:

 

Swamy's name is Poorvashram was 'Neela meghacharya' and was born in the

dynasty of 24th jeer of ahobila mutt.After upanayanam at the age of

seven,he pursued vedic studies,philosophy,later he joined the service of Ahobila

mutt and continued his studies.In course of time,he joined the panel of

Aradakas at the mutt,to worship Malola Lakshmi Narasimha.Later he served also as

the personal staff of 38th jeer of the mutt-sri srinivasa satagopa

mahadesikan and continued his studies. One day he heard a voice in his dream " Put

to use your wide knowledge for the

good of people and promote srivaishnavism "

This made Neela megacharya think and decided to take sanyashram.With

the blessings of the then Jeer of Ahobilamutt,he took sanyashram on 30.9.1914

and assumed the name " Sri Satagopa Ramanuja Mahadesikan " as he belonged to

Thillasthanam,he was popularly called " Sri thillasthanam swamy " .He worked

tirelessly to promote sanathana dharma and srivaishnavism.His wide knowledge

and ability to retreive them spontaneously to explain any point of doubt,earned

him large number of admirers and disciples.Infact,he became a symbol of

authority and all would consult him on every matter- construction of

temple,worship procedures at temples,various rituals etc.He was also very good

teacher.

 

Sri thillasthanam swamy kanikarya sabha was formed in 1956 to

commemorate his memory.
