Important Announcement – March 27, 2025
Gentle reminder. Srimad Thirukudanthai Andavan’s 119th ThiruNakshtram Mahotsavam starts next Wednesday, April 2nd and concludes with the main celebration on Sunday, April 6th. Please attend in large numbers.
In the year 1967, Ashramam released a book titled “ஸ்ரீமதாண்டவன் ஷஷ்ட்யப்த பூர்த்தி மலர்” in honor of Srimad Thirukudanthai Andavan’s 60th ThiruNakshathram.
As part of and as yet another very important prelude to this upcoming Mahotsavam, Ashramam, with Anugraham of Srimad Andavan Srimad SriVaraha MahaDesikan, has digitized the above mentioned book in the form of a pdf document. Today, Ashramam is delighted to release this free, pdf document online at this website.

Who We Are
Srirangam Srimad Andavan Ashramam is an institution that is over three hundred years old, and belongs to the Sri Vaishnava tradition. It follows the teachings of vishishtadvaita, as propounded by Bhagavad Ramanuja and Srimad Vedanta Desika.
The main spiritual headquarter of the Andavan Ashramam is in Srirangam, where most acharyas of this lineage have spent their saintly lives.
The institution has over 35 centres spread across India and the US. The institution also runs the Andavan Arts and Science College, several veda-patasalas, and goshalas.
The main symbol of worship in the Andavan tradition is the divine sandals of Sri Ranganatha known simply as Rangantha-padukas.
What We Do
01.
The Acharya of the Srimad Andavan Ashramam awards initiation to the fold of Srivaishnavism through a ritual called samashrayanam, and conducts sacramental surrender known as bharanyasam.
02.
The institution runs the Srimad Andavan College for Arts and Science to cater to students from rural and backward areas. It also runs several veda-patasalas or seats of traditional learning.
03.
We celebrate several festivals (utsavams) and holy birthdays (thirunakshatrams ) related to the Lord or our acharyas. Thousands of disciples and well-wishers participate in these to seek divine blessings.
04.
The Andavan Ashramam runs many charitable trusts for providing education, preserving the Vedic tradition, publishing books, renovating temples, providing free meals to pilgrims, and protecting cows.
