About Sri Koorathazhwan Goshala Kainkarya Trust

I was the youngest in my family, and my parents named me after my grandpa, which is how I came to be called “Chinnu.” At sixteen, I joined our family business. But life took a different turn.

A spiritual calling led me to Thiruvallikeni. My devotion to Lord Parthasarathy changed the course of my life.

Under the guidance of Rukmini Ramanujadasi and her husband Govinda Ramanujadasan, Veeraragavan Suresh Swamy, and I was directed to the Sri Vaishnava Sampradaya. With the divine blessings, I was initiated into the Sri Vaishanava Sampradayam by Vaikuntavasi - Shri U. Ve Kumaravadi. Se Ramanujacharyar, Shri Sriperumbudur Srimath Appan Parakala Ramanuja Embar Jeeyar Swamy.

What began as participation in kainkaryam slowly became life itself.

With my family’s support, the service expanded in Thadiyaradhanai and Thiruvallikeni by organising devotional tours to the Divya Desams and supporting temple kainkaryams in Kooram. It was Ramanujan Swamy who became the sadacharya and guided me on Thadiyaradhanai. Through this journey, I met Aandal, my dharma Pathini, and we got married.

One Thadiyaradhanai became a turning point. What felt like a miracle led us to move from Chennai to Kooram to serve Koorathazhwan.

From the Nandavanam service to establishing the Goshala, this journey has grown into a family commitment. Today, we are a family of four, along with our cows, dedicated entirely to this dharmic path.

Born and raised in a Sri Vaishnava family in Kanchi, Adiyaen pursued Chartered Accountancy and completed the CA Intermediate and articleship.

During this time, I met my Swamy, Chinnu Ramanujadasan. Our conversations during courtship centred around kainkaryam and service. With the blessings of KoorathAzhwan, we were married — unaware then that we would one day dedicate our lives to serving Him daily in Kooram.

My husband became my Sadacharyar and guided me deeply into the spirit of seva.

From Pushpa Kainkaryam, our service expanded to Ramanuja Koodam and eventually the Goshala. What began as participation gradually became our life’s calling.

Today, I am the mother of two children, and together we are a family of thirty — including our cows and horse — living a life rooted in dharma and daily service is a daily blessing.
