Welcome to Adiyen Sri Ramanuja Dasan !
" Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha !"
Pedda Jeeyar swami varu is the Acharya of Chinna Jeeyar swami varu by way of giving Yati deeksha. But he need not be the samASrayaNa(mantrOpadESa) Acharya of Chinna Jeeyar and EkAngI. EkAngI can be the Sishya of Pedda Jeeyar swami varu or some other Acharya Purusha, but he is initiated into Vaishnavism much before he enters Thirumala Thirupathi temple service.
In case of present Pedda Jeeyar swami varu of thirupathi, swami's Acharyas are the following three:
1. Sholingar Doddacharya swami, an Acharya purusha in Ramanuja lineage - by way of samASrayaNam
2. TA Krishnamacharya swami - by way of kAlakshEpam
3. HH Thiruvengada Ramanuja Jeeyar swami previous Pedda Jeeyar- by way of Yati deeskha, by which he became chinna Jeeyar and then Pedda Jeeyar.
The Diksha given by Archakas of Govindaraja Shrine to HH Pedda Jeeyangar, HH Chinna Jeeyangar and Ekangi is related to entry in to Tirumala Temple to perform kainkaryams inside the Sanctum. The Diksha Vastram (Kaashaayam) is given by the Vaikhanasa Priest at Sri Govindaraja Swamy Temple Ramanuja's Sannidhi. This is done as ordained by Bhagavad Ramanuja.
Jai Srimannaryana !
