Today , the 14th of November, 2002 (Aippasi ? Utthirattaadi) is the 
thirunakshatram day of Srimath Thirutthuraippoondi Andavan, one of the 
illustrious Acharyas of Srirangam Srimath Andavan PeriAsramam. 


Let us recite His dhanian on this auspicious occasion.

Thirutthuraippoondi Andavan also known as vilakkudi andavan hails 
from vilakkudi, a small hamlet near Rajamannargudi and belonged to 
EYUNNI vamsam and Bharadwaja gothram . 

He learnt all sampradaya granthas from Srirangam swamy, H.H. Vedantha Ramanuja 
Maha Desikan also known as Vazhuthur Andavan. He had prapatti done at lotus 
feet of almighty by H.H.Srimath Vazhuthur Andavan. He was also initiated into 
the sanyasa asramam by H.H. vazhuthur andavan and was given the title

Many erudite scholars learnt the sampradayic granthas from Srimath 
Thirutthuraippoondi Andavan , most notable among them being Sri Raghavachariar 
Swamy(who later became the famous Srimath PeriAndavan) who was initiated into

Swamy Deshikan Thiruvadigale Sharanam !!! 

Today happens to be the thirunakshatram of Sri 
Thiruthraippoondi Andavan, Sri Srinivasa Ramanuja Maha Deshikan. This 
greatacharya was born in the constellation of Uttara Bhadrapada in the month 
ofAippasi in a village called ViLakkudi.near Rajamannar Sannidhi and hailed 
from IyuNNi Bharadhvaja gothram. 

He studied all the samanya shastras, Ubhaya Vedanta and Rahasyas at the feet of 
Sri Vedanta Ramanuja Maha Deshikan or Vazhutur Swamy who was very wellknown as 
"Srimad Andavan" at Srirangam and also performed.prapatti at the feet of Sri 
Vazhuttur Andavan. Sri Vazhuttur Andavan chose him to be his successor for 
sampradaya samrakshanam and initiated him into the fourth orderof Sanyasam, 
with the title Sri Srinivasa Ramanuja Maha Deshikan. 

During his stay at Thiruthuraippoondi, Sri Vazhuttur Swamy conferred the title 
"Andavan" to Sri Srinivasa Ramanuja Maha Deshikan and from that day onwards Sri 
Srinivasa Ramanuja Maha Deshikan came to be 
known as Thiruthuraippoondi Andavan. He was a scholar of great calibre and 
lived in an Ashramam with utmost vairagyam and anushtanam on the banks of the 
river Kollidam at Arangam. He conducted vedantic debates and kalakshepams. He 
had many shishyas, prime amongst them being Sri Srinivasa Maha Deshikan 
(Periyandavan) 
who studied all esoterics at the feet of Sri Srinivasa Ramanuja Maha Deshikan. 
He remained deeply dedicated to the sampradayam and placed Srimad Andavan 
sampradayam on a firm footing and as a beacon light to 
thirsty aspirants. 

His taniyan reads as follows - 

shrImadgopAlasUrerniravadhikaruNAvApta satsampradAyam 
shrImadvedAntarAmAnujayatinrupati: sarvata: sthApayitvA | 
yasmin satsampradAyam sakalamupadishan amshatonupravishta: 
shrImachChrIvAsa rAmAnujamunimanagham tam bhaje deshikendram || 

"I pray at the lotus feet of that blemishless great acharya Sri 
Srinivasa Ramanuja Maha Deshikan in whom Sri Vazhuttur Swamy did 
anupravesham and who recieved the wealth of satsampradayam from 
Srimad Vedanta Ramanuja Swamy who (Sri Vazhuttur Swamy) propagated 
this wealth after obtaining it from the boundless mercy of the great 
Gopalarya Maha Deshikan (Thirukkudanthai Deshikan)"
