Our Swami was born at Thillai ViLAgam , where the famous Sri KodaNda Raamar

Koil is .This abhimaana sthalam has the most beautiful , AajAnu Baahu

KodaNda Raamar,

where the veins on the arms can be seen as well as the Rakshaa Bhandham tied

by

Mother Kousalyaa , when Her dearest son left for the forest to fulfill the

promise made to His Father . Thillai ViLAgam is linked to the Aasramam of

the Vedic Rishi BhaaradhvAjar and Lord Raamachandra is said to have stopped

here to pay His homage to the Sage on the way back to Ayodhyaa after reunion

with Sitaa PirAtti at Lankha .Thillai ViLagam is 20 km south west of

Thirutthurai PooNDi ( near VedAraNyam). Our Swamy has thus intense Veda

Sambhandham from His avataara stalam .
