Dear AchArya RaamAnuja BHakthAs: I am enclosing an appeal from SrIman Vijayan regarding a request from SrI Mudali ANDAn ThirumAligai from SingaperumAL KOil . The Moola Purushar of this AchArya Vamsam is Swamy Dasarathy , who came to be known later as Swamy Mudali ANDAn. Swamy Mudali ANDAn's Kaimakryam as the BaaginEyar (with dEha sambhandham of AchArya RaamAnujA) and direct disciple of AchArya RaamAnujA is well recorded in Guru Paramparai recordings. Swamy Mudalai Andan was recognized by AchArya RaamAnujA as as His ThridhaNdam and PaadhukA for his Kaimkaryams to his AchAryan and SrI VaishNavam. >From being the Foremost ( ANDAn ) among Mudalis ( Temple Functionaries) at SrIrangam Temple at the request of his AchAryan to being "SthrI Dhana VeLLAtti for Athtuzhai( the daughter of Periya Nampi , one of the 5 AchAryAs of Bhagavath RaamAnujA) , Swamy Mudali ANDAn has performed capably at whatever task His AchAryan Commanded him to do .One such kaimkaryam at the niyamanam of AchArya RaamAnujA was the Pancha NaarAyaNa Prathishtai at KarnAtaka during his AchAryan's exile in Melkote . At the karnataka village of SaaLagrAmam , the power of the SrI Padha Theertham of Swamy Mudali ANDAn was demonstrated for the people of the above grAmam by AchArya RaamAnuja . Swamy Mudali ANDAn's son was KanthADai ANDAn , Lord RanganAthA's gift to His chief of administration , Swamy Mudali ANDAn . His son was KanthAdai ThOzhappar , whom Lord VaradarAjan considered as His Thozhan ( dear Friend ) and presented Thozhappar with one of the six Sannidhi bhErams of Himself ( Azhaitthu VaazhvitthAr Moortham ) , which stays until today as the AarAdhana Moorthy at Sri Mudali Andan ThirumALikai at Singa PerumAL koil .Here , the Swamy Mudali ANDAn serves PrahlAdhAdhri ( PaatalAdhri) Narasimhan and blesses his sishya paramparai . Please refer to the special web pages for more details on the Vaibhavam of Swamy Mudali ANDAn and His illustrious Vamsam at: http://www.srivaishnava.org/sva/muali.htm Please contact SrimAns Vijayan , V.K. Elayavalli or Dr. Sashikal Iyengar for additional details on this Kaimkaryam of particular interest to Prakrutham Swamy Mudali ANDAn . Their telephone numbers and e-mail addresses are given below. Daasan , Oppiliappan Koil Varadachari Sdaagopan ************************************************************* ************************************************************ Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha Dear Ms.Sashikala Iyengar Because of the relation of Swami MudaliAndan to Swami Emberumanar and His Kainkaryams to Sri Ramanuja, it is imperative that all Srivaishnavas help in restoring the Avatara Stala of Swami MudaliAndan back to the Thirumaligai. Any help from anyone will be more than welcome. Thank you for your help.

My name is Vijayan Ramasamy, currently based out of USA and I belong to the Thirumaligai of Swami MudaliAndan. I am told that you also belong to the same Thirumaligai. You may be aware that our Vartamana Swami is actively involved in many Thirumaligai Kainkaryams and is instrumental for making many changes and is shaping more changes. One of the problems we are facing is that all Shishyas are not able to join hands in support of our Thirumaligai and also participate in many activities. I have had the "bhagyam" of talking to Swami a few times. There are two reasons for my sending this email to you: 1. In the past we have been trying to collect the details of Shishyas who may be dispersed across the world. I am told that you may have family members spread across many countries. If you do not mind and if you think your family members will not mind, I will greatly appreciate if you will kindly send me the contact info to them (including email addresses) and a small introduction to them; 2. An urgent need of the Thirumaligai is that our Swami is actively trying to re-acquire the Avatara Stalam of our first MudaliAndan in Pettai, near the outskirts of Chennai. It is imperative that we do not let this opportunity slip away and it is also a great opportunity for all of us to participate in this kainkaryam. It is unfortunate that our own Swami has to openly ask our help in this regard. Any help that you can provide directly or in the form of directing me to others from whom I can seek help will be greatly appreciated and I am sure Swami's blessings will help us and guide us in this act. It will be of great help and I beg you to please respond at your earliest convenience. Thank you very much.
