“I pay my profound respects, to the blemishless Srimad Thiruthuraipoondi Andavan Sri Srinivasa Ramanuja Mahadesikan, who was the recipient of the limitless mercy of Srimad Gopalarya Mahadesikan (Thirukudanthai Desikan). The king amongst yatis (renunciates), Srimad Vazhuthoor Andavan Sri Vedanta Ramanuja Mahadesikan who was also the founder of the worldwide sat-sampradayam (the original and bonafide spiritual tradition), had nominated and chosen Srimad Thiruthuraipoondi Andavan to succeed him. Srimad Vazhuthoor Andavan taught him all that one should know about our sat-sampradayam , and appeared to have reincarnated in him.”
