2. Kuthapakkam Family

The Kuthapakkam Parampara has been traced to the following Swamis:

Sri U.Ve Seshadri Achariar
l
l
Sri U.Ve Srinivasachariar
l
l
Sri U.Ve Chittiachariar
l

Sri U.Ve Thirumalachariar

Sri U.Ve. Chittiachariar was the Rajaguru in the Kingdom of Raja Tej Singh at Gingee.







Gingee Fort also known as Chinji or Jinji in Tamil Nadu, India is one of the few surving forts in Tamil Nadu — which is much more popular for its forts. It lies in Villupuram district, 160 km (100 mi) from the state capital, Chennai, and is close to the union territory of Pondicherry. So well fortified was this place that Shivaji ranked it as the "most impregnable fortress in India" and it was called the "Troy of the East" by the British.


The Kuthappakkam Parampara was then given the title Senji Thirumalai Nallan Chakravarthy. They were also the First Theerthakarars in the Ranganatha Temple of Ginjee.

This Blog pertains to Goshtipuram Swamy and those who come into Goshtipuram family by way of marriage etc. Those who have come into the fold of Goshtipuram Family from Koothapakkam family have been included. When we create a blog for Koothpakkam family, all those who are Koothappakkam and those who have come into Koothappakkam family could be included in that.
