 His father, Pujya K.C. Krishnamachari, a senior
police officer in the Madras Presidency, was
resident of Tirupati Town and belonged to a
traditional
Srivaishnavite family. He was very dear
to his mother Kuppacchi, as he was the only
surviving male child born to her. He had two
sisters Rajamma and Sulochana. The family
tradition is
very ancient and has its origin in Sriman Nallan
Chakravarthy, a contemporary and a close
disciple of Sri Bhashyakar Srimad Ramanuja of
11th Century A.D. His great grand father’s grand
father came from a village called Karumbur, a
village near Kanchi of Lord Varada. He was known for his belief in God and innocence
from his childhood. His grand father in order to
pacify him due to various childish ways used to
tell him to go out into the open yard in the
house and face the sky with closed eyes and open
mouth, promising him that God would drop candy
into his mouth. He, it is said would do so
standing for quite long time before he was
rewarded (by the grand father ) and the young
believer used to jump with joy for having been
rewarded by God. He was a pet for all in the
family as he was the only son.
Those were the days when the joint family system
was the order of the day. Due to this he lived
with his cousins, aunts and uncles together. He
had two sisters named Sulochana and Rajamma. He
was very intimate with his Cousin Sri Ramanujam.
In fact Pujya Dr. K.C.
Varadachari was called
Chinna samy and Ramanujam, Dorai samy as he was
elder to him. This cousin had enormous influence
on the prospective Seer. It is said that Sri
Ramanujam who participated in the Scout movement
in the early 1990, had on an occasion given his
skin for graft for a young victim of fire
accident for which the British King offered the
honor of King Scout. The little Boy refused the
honor stating that he gave his skin for his
brother and not for any honor or reward and
least of all from the foreign ruler Kind. The
same cousin was a pioneer in Swadeshi movement
spreading the Ragi Malt culture and home made
table salt apart from many other products of
beauty and has strived through out his life to
be a self supporting person. His products
Ovomalt and Yto malt health drinks, are the
first ones using Ragi released in the market in
1950’s. |
