Dear bhagavatas,

Accept adiyen’s humble pranams.  With the divine grace of Sri Andal sametha Sri Parthasarathi emperuman and with the blessings of HH Sri VanamAmalai kaliyan ramanuja jeeyar swamigal, adiyen is trying to take up this difficult kainkaryam of writing about the life history of HH Sri onnAna VanamAmalai Jeeyer swami (commonly called as ponnadikAl jeeyer swamigal).  With the support of the all the shisyas and Apthars of the vanamamalai mutt, adiyen will proceed with this kainkaryam.  Adiyen requests are the learned scholars to correct me wherever necessary.

 This write-up will be based on a book “Sri Varamangai Muni Vaibhavam” released under the kind grace of HH Sri Vanamamalai 27^th pattam Sri chinna Ramanuja jeeyer swamigal.

The above book was originally written based on a book “gaganagiri muni charitram” in Sanskrit and “yatheendra pravana prabhAvam”.  The great grand son of Sri Ramanuja pillan, one of the ashtadiggajas and jnana putran of Sri Vanamamalai onnAna jeeyer swamigal wrote Gaganagiri muni charitram.  The author, sundarAryar, commonly called as ‘AththAn’, was considered as an amsam of VanamAmalai Perumal, Sri DeivanAyagan.   He was a very great scholar appreciated by many elderly scholars.  As per the instruction of the then peedAdhipathi Sri Ramanuja jeeyer swamigal and as per the order of vanamAmalai perumal in his dream, he did this divine work in sanskrit.

 Based on this gaganagiri muni charitram, and in many places with the style and contents of yatheendra pravana prabhAvam, the book Sri Varamangai Muni Vaibhavam has been written in tamil.  Based on this, adiyen will try to continue with the postings on HH Sri OnnAna jeeyer swamigal(VanamAmalai madam mudhal pattam).

 May the divine couples make this kainkaryam a grand success.
