Srimath Srinivasa Ramanuja Maha Desikai Namaha

 

Respected Learned Sirs,

 

I am the great grandson of Srimath KAdandhEthi Andavan {Some call him

Thirukudanthai Andavan also )(Srimath Srinivasa Ramanuja Maha Desikan) of

Srimath Srirangam Andavan Ashram. From his life history book I understand the

following:'

 

Srimath KAdandhEthi Andavan was born in the Avani month of Virodhi varusham

(1829 A.D) in Moolam nakshatram in a village just south of river KAveri called

KAdandhEthi to Srimathi Janaki Ammal and Sri RaghunAthAchar. Sri RaghunAthAchar

was performing kainkaryam to Srimath Thiruthuraipoondi Andavan, the second

Andavan of Srimath Andavan Ashramam. The child was named Sri Varada

VedAnthAchAriAr. He was initiated into Brahmacharyam with upanayanam at the

prescribed age and was taught vEdAs and upanishads. He learnt Tharka ShAstras in

RajamannAr Koil under the tutelage of Sri U.Ve. SamiyAchchAr swAmi.

 

In his young days itself Sri Varada VedAnthAchAriar, with sincere devotion and

strong vairAgyam meditated on the sacred Moola manthram, AshtAkshara manthram

and gAyathri manthram vigrorously and attained manthra sidhdhi and power. Later

he visited Mysore Asthanam and further mastered in tharka shAstrAs from Mysore

samasthAna vidwan named Aakki Azhwan. During this period he also received Sri

Hayagreeva & Sudharshana ManthrOpadEsam from Sri Parakala Jeeyar Swami and Sri

Nrusimha ManthrOpaDesam from Sri Ahobila Matam Azhagiyasingar. Thus he attained

various manthra sidhdhi and SathAvadAna shakthi at a very young age as a

bramhachAri. He mastered the four shAstras and also had poetic prowess as an

" Aasu Kavi " .

 

Now the help i want is from which Prakala Jeeyer he received his Hygreeva

manthaupdesham and can i get his photo.

 

Also can i get any article about my ellu tha-tha and also life history of his

guru Prakala Jeer from the records of Prakala Mutt.

 

If any of the learned sirs could help i will be grateful.
