Dear bhagavatas,

 

Accept adiyen’s humble pranams. With the divine grace of Sri Andal sametha Sri

Parthasarathi emperuman and with the blessings of HH Sri VanamAmalai kaliyan

ramanuja jeeyar swamigal, adiyen is trying to take up this difficult kainkaryam

of writing about the life history of HH Sri onnAna VanamAmalai Jeeyer swami

(commonly called as ponnadikAl jeeyer swamigal). With the support of the all the

shisyas and Apthars of the vanamamalai mutt, adiyen will proceed with this

kainkaryam. Adiyen requests are the learned scholars to correct me wherever

necessary.

 

This write-up will be based on a book " Sri Varamangai Muni Vaibhavam " released

under the kind grace of HH Sri Vanamamalai 27th pattam Sri chinna Ramanuja

jeeyer swamigal.

 

The above book was originally written based on a book " gaganagiri muni

charitram " in Sanskrit and " yatheendra pravana prabhAvam " . Gaganagiri muni

charitram was written by the great grand son of Sri Ramanuja pillan, one of the

ashtadiggajas and jnana putran of Sri Vanamamalai onnAna jeeyer swamigal. The

author, sundarAryar, commonly called as ‘AththAn’, was considered as an amsam of

VanamAmalai Perumal, Sri DeivanAyagan. He was a very great scholar appreciated

by many elderly scholars. As per the instruction of the then peedAdhipathi Sri

Ramanuja jeeyer swamigal and as per the order of vanamAmalai perumal in his

dream, he did this divine work in sanskrit.

 

Based on this gaganagiri muni charitram, and in many places with the style and

contents of yatheendra pravana prabhAvam, the book Sri Varamangai Muni Vaibhavam

has been written in tamil. Based on this, adiyen will try to continue with the

postings on HH Sri OnnAna jeeyer swamigal(VanamAmalai madam mudhal pattam).

 

May the divine couples make this kainkaryam a grand success.
