Tavathiru
Nachiappa Gnanadesika Swami is leading the Koviloor Aadheenam as its 12th
Matadhipathi. He is a direct descendant of the Koviloor Andavar. He has
been
acclaimed world over for his expertise in photography and printing
technology. He was part of the Kalakshetra established by Smt. Rukmini
Devi Arundable for nearly six decades. After taking over the running of
the Math, his objective has been the spreading of 'Sanatana Dharma' all
over the world; for this purpose he has been spending all the wealth he
earned in his 'Poorvashrama' (life before taking 'Sanyas') and working
with total commitment.
As
a beginning he established the Andavar Nursery School immediately after
taking charge of the Math in 1995 which benefits the poor children of
the locality. A few
months later came into being institutions for teaching Nadaswaram, Thirumurai,
Vedasivagama, construction of temple chariots, computer, free Siddha medical
centre; in these institutions food and lodging are offered free to the
students.
