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.
dasan
L.Sridhar.
