Before writing about Srividya Mahasamsthana, it is an utmost necessary to provide more information about Sri Chidananandanathar ( Shri Nediminti Subramaya Iyer) and his vision.
In this blog, the page GUHANANDA Guru parampara, has provided some information about Sri Chidanandanathar which may be accessed here. https://atmanandanatha.wordpress.com/guhanandanatha-guru-parampara/
Twenty-seven days, after the initiation to Sri Chidanandanathar, the great avadhUta Sri GUHANANDANATHAR left for Badrikashrama. At that time Sri GUHANANDANATHAR indicated that he would be visible in the Sri Subrahmanya Vigraha at Thiruttani on Pushya masa Amavasya while performing Vibhuti Abhisheka. Sri Chidanandanathar has started Thiruttani Vaibhava Mahotsavam in 1946 at the shrine of Subrahmanya. This holy practice continues even now and hundreds of sincere Upasakas from this Parampara witness the appearance of the Physical Form of the GREAT GURU SRI GUHANANDANATHAR.
Sri Chidanandanathar was conducting discourses on Srividya and related philosophies and also published a quarterly magazine “Shri vidya”, specifically dealt with Srividya Upasana and reached many who are interested in Srividya.
The responsibility of publishing the magazine was shouldered by his disciple, as well son in law Sri Vankata Narasayya ( SRI PURNANANDANTHA) but that was not continued after few months because of financial and other constraints.
Fame or money was never the goal of this Great Master. His whole and sole aim was to bring the knowledge of Shrividya to the deserving. It is unfortunate that people who engage in producing second rate commercial compilations or those people, not able to do even a little what was done by this great Soul terming these activities as mere propaganda. It is quite another fact that some such people have happily copied works of Sri Chidanandanathar verbatim and sold their books to make money, without even giving any credit to the great master.
Time may change from one decade to the other, one century to other, but such people do exist always in the society. That is the law of Nature.
My salutations to Sri Raghavan and Smt Gayatri ( Sri Prakashananda and Prakashamba) for continuing the publication of SRIVIDYA Magazine in the name of Purnananda Lahari as a Monthly e-magazine.
The following is the list of some important works authored / compiled by Sri Chidanandanathar:

Namoh Namah Shri Shree Guru Padukabhyaam 🙏🙇🏻♀️🌹❤️🙏
It is true that Guru Chidanathar has done a lot to promote SriVidya for the community. My father was blessed and initiated to Srividya in 1948. Our Guru is not for money. Even today everyone is aware of his desire to spread SriVidya
