HH Sri Vanamamalai Jeeyar Swami - 100 years ago !!

திருவரமங்கை என்னும் வானமாமலை  108 வைணவத் திருத்தலங்களில் முக்கியமான ஒரு திவ்யதேசம்.  

Sri  Vanamamalai mutt, also known as thOthAdhri mutt  was established by Sri Ponnadikkal Jeeyar.  HH Madurakavi Vanamamalai Jeer Swamy is the  present pontiff. 

Here is a century old photo of Vanamamalai Jeeyar with sishyas and Jeeyar being carried in pallakku found in Catalogue of South Indian Hindu Metal images in Madras Govt Museum by FH Gravely & TN Ramachandran published in 1932  (book available at Connemara library)

 

Going by the timeline it is likely His Holiness Sri Sri Kaliyan Ramanuja Swami  who was the pontiff during the period  1905 – 1933
