OK. It has been a week since I have seen any reply on Sri H.H Vadikesari Azhagiya Manavala Jeeyar Swamy / Matam of Kancheepuram. I would like to share what I know about Swamy and the Matam. Sri H.H. Vadikesari Azhagiya Manavala Jeeyar Swamy Matam is a Thennacharya Sampradaya Matam that is located on the Eastern side of the Varadaraja Perumal Temple. The "Kizhakku" gopuram which remains always closed, was actually built by one of the great Swamies in the Vadikesari Azhagiya Manavala Jeeyar Swamy parampara. I was blessed to visit the matam and I admired the location and the capacity of the matam. At the same time, the most unfortunate point is that most of the walls and the ceilings are heavily damaged and the matam seems to be unrecognized by most of the devotees. The present swamy of the matam, is staying at the matam all alone and does not even have a SriKaaryam - he cooks what he could and is managing everything himself. Such is the plight of the matam which is just behind the Temple gopuram. Could someone who, is capable of bringing great hands and minds together, take up fixing the above mentioned issues and bring to lime-light the greatness of the matam? I am adding the photos of the matam (the photos are not that great as it was raining when I went there and more over my mobile camera is almost pre-historical:) Will submit better photos in a month. adiyEn, rAmAnuja dAsan. --- In ramanuja@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "Sumithra Varadarajan" <sumivaradan@...> wrote: > > There are photos of HH swamy on his visit to thiruvallikeni during > parthasarathi and narasimhar brahmotsavam. > > Adiyen > > > > On 9/15/06, Lakshmi Narasimhan <nrusimhann@...> wrote: > > > > Dear All, > > > > Does someone know or have heard of Sri H.H.
