what you see above, next
to Thiruvadi koil (Sri Anjaneyar temple) is Triplicane branch of Sri Vanamamalai
Mutt, the supreme fountain head for Thennacharya sampradhayam following our
glorious Acaryar Swami Manavala Mamunigal. The mutt in fact was
eatablished by PonnadikkAl jIyar under the orders of maNavALa
mAmunigaL. PonnadikkAl jIyar was the first and foremost
disciple. Srivainava sanyasis are Ubhaya Vedanthacharyas and
paramahamsa parivrajaka Acaryas. Ubhaya vEdhAnthAchArya means one who has
mastered both samskritha vEdham and dhrAvida vEdham with their in-depth
meanings. Paramahamsa means one who is like a swan which is pure and the one
which can distinguish between sAram (essence) and asAram
(residue/insignficant). Parivrajaka means one who is a mendicant - travelling
preacher.
Our Vanamamalai mutt is
also known as thOthAdhri mutt in uththara bhAratham (North India). In addition
to the branches here in dhakshiNa bhAratham, there are many thOthAdhri mutts in
uththara bhAratham (including nEpAL). The 635th year celebrations of Sri
Ponnadikkal Jeeyar is on at Thiruvallikkeni Vanamamalai mutt.
Sri Vanamamalai Periya
Ramanuja Jeer Swami alias Ponnadikkal Jeer established this mutt. Swami wrote
viyakiyanam for Thiruppavai; composed thaniyan on Andal,
composed 17 songs in praise of Manavala
Maamunigal. Born in 1447 as Azhagiya Varadhar, he became to be
famously known as PonnadikkAl jIyar. He is also known as vAnamAmalai jIyar,
vAnAdhri yOgI, rAmAnuja jIyar, rAmAnuja muni, etc. He was the first and the
prime disciple of azhagiya maNavALa mAmunigaL.
Azhagiya varadhar became
the first disciple of azhagiya maNavALa mAumingaL when mAmunigaL was a
gruhasthar. azhagiya varadhar immediately accepted sannyAsAshramam and stayed
with mAmunigaL most of his life. ponnadikkAl means the one who laid the
foundation of mAmunigaL’s sishya sampath. He established many thOthAdhri mutts
all over the bhAratha dhEsam and propagated our sampradhAyam in many regions.
When mAmunigaL goes for thiumalai yAthrai for the first time, periya kELvi
appan jIyar sees a dream, where a gruhasthar is lying down and a sannyAsi is at
his lotus feet. jIyar asks the people who are there about these two
personalities and they say one is “eettu perukkar” azhagiya maNavALa perumAL
nAyanAr and the other is ponnadikkAl jIyar as called by nAyanAr himself.
The celebrations are now
on with divyaprabandha goshti. Here are some photos taken at the Mutt.

So far, there
have been d 31 jIyar swamys decorating this most glorious peetam, after Sri
PonnadikkAl jIyar. Our 30th and periya jIyar swamy was SrImath paramahamsa
ithyAdhi kaliyan vAnamAmalai rAmAnuja jIyar swamy who was a renowned
scholar in our sath sampradhAyam. He recently attained the lotus feet of his
AchAryan (ascended to paramapadham) on April 30th 2014. On the same
day, srImath paramahamsa ithyAdhi madhurakavi vAnamAmalai rAmAnuja jIyar swamy
(srI u. vE. nArAyaNa iyengAr in pUrvAsramam) was appointed by
kaliyan swamy as his successor (before ascending to paramapadham) and
ascended to the throne of srI vAnamAmalai mutt as 31st and varthamAna (current)
jIyar swamy.
