Acknowledgments
Inspiration
This website and other integrated social media platforms have been created under the direct niyamanams (divine instructions) of our acharya, His Holiness Srimad Andavan Srivaraha Mahadesikan. We are eternally grateful to our acharya for his guidance, blessings and inspiration.
Dedication
The orginal website which existed in this domain was created and maintained by a very senior disciple of Srimad Andavan, Sri U. Ve. R. Srinivasan (fondly known as R.S. Mama), who attained acharyan thiruvadi in February 2020. He personally performed this wonderful kainkaryam for over 20 years, and handed it the current team just a few weeks before he attained acharyan thiruvadi. We dedicate this website to R. S. Mama, who continues to be our source of inspiration.
