Swamy was born in " thelliyar thirunAnmaRaigal vallArAna thEru jnAnaththavar

malithAn " sirivaramangai in a high class Srivaishnava clan on an auspicious day

of chittrai month ashvinee star. Like the special grace of Swamy Alavandaar on

Swamy emperumanar our swamy was also specially graced as " Aamudalvan " by the

then peedadhipathi Sri SatakOpa ramanuja swamy. Due to which swamy stayed under

the divine feet of Sri SatakOpa swamy as a very close disciple. At that time

swamy learnt all the Vedas and vedanthas from his acharya and attained great

scholarship. Under Sri pattarbiran swamy, he learnt ubhaya vedantha and

remained with great acharya nishtai ever in acharya kainkaryam. At the age of

28 swamy was crowned as the next peedadhipadhi by Sri pattarbiran swamy.

Note: Dear bhagavatas, the kainkaryam of Sri kaliyan ramanuja Jeeyer swamy to

our mutt and the whole Srivaishnava community is very very great. From the next

posting we will enjoy the great kainkaryams of swamy one by one.
