=====================================================================
Erudite spiritual scholar, teacher & temple administrator
Mahamahopadhyaya Thirupputkuzhi Sri Krishna Thathayarya Mahadesikar
(1823-1889)

Sri Vaishanavism highlights the identical equality of all beings in the 
essential nature (swaroopam) of the inner-dwelling sou (Atma). All 
jeevathmas,as they are called, are equal possessions (sesha) and servants(dasa) 
of God.This is truly the underlying spirit of brotherhood among all peoples.

Swamin Nathamunigal is considered to be the originator of the present-day 
Acharya Paramparai (trdition of preceptors).This tradtion was uniquely adorned 
by Sri Ramanuja, the historical spiritual legend, who was known for his 
universal compassion for all fellow-beings.He interpreted Vedanta,Gettha and 
other spiritual texts and his vision of spiritualism is known as Ramanuja 
Darsanam. Sri Ramanuja established a line of illustrious and continuous 
succession of disciples who, to this day, spreead his message.

In this tradtition Mahamahopadyaya Tirupputkuzhi Sri Krishna  Thathayarya 
Mahadesikan, who led his life under the lotus feet of Sri Varadaraja of Sri 
Kanchi, was a great spiritual scholar, who has left many literary and research 
works for posterity based on the teachings of Sri Ramanuja and Sri Swami 
Nigamantha Mahadesikan.

Apart from being an illustrious man of letters, he was also a teacher; and even 
people of other schools of Hindu religion approached him for learning under him 
-this is out of respect all had uniformly for his wealth of spiritual 
knowledge. He had excellent debating skills and made his mark in establishing 
the philosophies taught by him.

He had a extesive pilgrimage to almost all the important shrines in South India 
and spread Srivaishnavism.

On a call from Sri. Kanchi,he took over the administration of Sri. Varadaraja 
Temple.The king of Venkatagiri took over the responsibilty of celebrating on a 
grand scale the festivals of the famous Garuda sevai and Hanumantha Vahanam for 
Sri Varadarajan at Sri. Kanchi.

Out of his great devotion for Sri Nigamantha Mahadesikan,he was mainly 
responsible for preserving and continuing the festivals at Thoopul, the birth 
place of Swami Nigamanta Mahadesikan.

Sri Thirupputkuzhi Swami studied Sribhashyam and the the spiriual texts under 
Sri.Srinivaa Mahadesikan,popularly known as Vatral Sami or Sri Periaandavan.
He was the direct lineal descendat of Sriman Nathamunigal in the 27th 
generation (6th generation after the well known Sri. Lakshmikumara 
Thathadesikan).

Sri.Thiruputkuzhi Swami's service to the society lay in his many writings for 
posterity,his work as a teacher and administrator of the famous temples -all of 
which contributed in a great measure in spreading the message of Sri 
vaishnavism and moral vlues of society.
