Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha
 
Please join us on Vedics bridge for a talk on Sri Thirukkachi Nambi ,by 
Chi.SriRam Elayavalli, ( Son of Sri ESBV Swami ) on saturday Feb 27th
at 8:00 am where He will talk about the 6 doubts that Swami Ramanuja got clered 
from
Deva Perumal by Sri Thirukkachi Nambi. His birthstar falls on Sunday Feb 29th.
 
In the following paragraph a brief introduction given about Sri 
ThirukkachiNambi.
 

Thirykkachi Nambi?s avathara sthalam was called Dharmapuri, present day 

Puvirundamalli or Pundamalli. He was born in Shobhakruth year, month Masi

Star Muragaseerusham. His Thirunamas are Thirukkachi Nambi, Sri Kanchipurnar 
and Sri Gajendra Dasar. He lived in Kanchipuram, and His kainkaryam was fanning 
Devaraja Perumal. His work was Varadharajashtakam and Devaperumal (Sri 
Varadharaja) used to talk to Him. Sri Alawandar was shown Swami Ramanujaby 
Thirukkachi Nambi when He was given the name Amudhalvan.

After Yadhava Prakasa told Ramanuja not to come back to classes, because ofHis 

disagreements with His teacher, His mother told Him to get acquainted with 
Thirukkachi Nambi, and start learning kainkaryams from Him. So from a very 
young age Swami Ramanuja was greatly influenced by Thirukkachi Nambi and Hegot 
Ramanuja the kainkaryam of getting water from Salai Kinaru ( road sidewell) to 
Deva Perumal. After associating with Him for a while Swami Ramanuja requested 
Thirukkachi Nambi to be His Acharya, which He declined gently saying that He 
wasn?t qualified and also He knew the greatness of Ramanuja before anyone else. 
He got six of Swami Ramanuja?s doubts cleared from Deva Perumal. It was 
Thirukkachi Nambi who guided Swami Ramanuja to Peria Nambi for Pancha Samskaram.

 

His Thaniyan is:

?Devaraja dayapathram Srikanchipurna muthamam

Ramanujamuner manyam vandeham sajjanasrayam?

 

Adiyen chitra ramanuja dasee
