Srirangam Srimad Andavan Ashram has a glorious past of three centuries,
catering to the spiritual needs of the society, propagating Vaishnava
Siddantha revived by the saint Sri Ramanuja and nourished by Sri Nigamantha
Mahadesika.
The Acharyas who have adorned the Peetam of this ashram have
been charismatic mentors, who by setting themselves as examples, rendered
yeomen service,
transcending the mundane limit of time and space. The Ashram has branches
all over India and austere disciples both in India and abroad. Apart
from the spiritual sphere, the ashram has established several charitable
institutions to cater to the welfare of the poor and the needy.
The present
Pontiff , His Holiness Srirangam Srimad Andavan Sri Rangaramanuja MahaDesikan
is a learned scholar and teacher by profession before occupying
the Peetam. His Holiness has a strong faith and belief that "Education" is
an eye-opener to humanity and has a major role to play in shaping the
society. His ardent desire, that higher education should reach the weaker
section and the downtrodden, without any discrimination of caste, creed
or sex ultimately paved the way for founding this temple of education.
