Question regarding TheerthakArars in Temples

From the Bhakti List Archives

• June 3, 2001


Dear Bhagavathas,

I have questions regarding the tradition of TheerthakArars in our
Temples.

1)Does this tradition date before Swami Ramanujar,or
did Swami Ramanujar introduce this during his Lifetime?

2)What are the basic functions/role of TherthakAras in Temples?Were they
bestowed with the rights due to their kAimkaryam and contribution
to the Temples or due to their Lineage or otherwise?.

3)Do have any role/say in the Temple Management/Affairs?

Thanks
