Smt Srimathy mami , wife of Sri Kadambavana Sundaram is an ardent devotee of Sri MahaPeriyava and our Sri Matam… Everyday, you can see mami in Sri Chandramouleeswara Poojai and Sri MahaPeriyava Adistana Poojai. Mami’s kaingaryam (the cumbersome and tiresome physical work) during Sri MahaPeriyava Aradhanai at Pradosham mama’s house and many of our Acharyal’s Aradhanai is par excellence and beyond comparison…
Sri MahaPeriyava himself once mentioned to Ramanatha Chettiar that Kadambavana Sundaram has bhakthi on HIM from head to toe. Mami’s bhakthi towards Sri MahaPeriyava is no less when compared to her husband… Mami reached Sri MahaPeriyava’s lotus feet on Dec 15th 2015 around noon (IST).
Updated: The above picture is from Sri Kumaresan Mama’s house. The spot where the Deepam is lit is where Sri MahaPeriyava sat when HE visited Sri Kumaresan Mama’s house in 1989. Smt Srimathy Kadambavanam merged with Sri MahaPeriyava in the same spot. A blessed soul indeed!
We are in a way fortunate to view mami’s experience with Sri MahaPeriyava through this short 9 minutes video:
Sri Salem Ravi mama speaks about Sri Kadambavanam Sundaram and his wife Smt Srimathy Kadambavanam’s ardent devotion towards Sri MahaPeriyava and Sri Matam in the audio below… Note: Mama’s narration of Kadambavanam family starts at 8.00 minute of this audio below.

பாசமும் நேசமும் மாமியின் சொத்து
சிரித்த முகத்துடன் நெற்றியில் பெரிய
குங்குமப் பொட்டுடன் இனிய பேச்சு
நல்ல நாளில் சுமங்கலியாய் புறப்பட்ட
அந்த உத்தமியை பார்க்கும் பாக்கியம்
பெற்றேன். கடம்பவன மாமாவுக்கும்
மகள் காமாக்ஷிக்கும் மன சாந்தியை
பெரியவாள் அநுக்ரஹிக்கட்டும்
Mami is indeed a blessed soul for not many of us get the opportunity to serve Maha Periava! To be able to serve
Maha Periava and the Kanchi Madam, itself prove that she was a blessed soul. May her soul rest in peace !

Very inspiring and interesting experience. Pray for the noble soul to rest in peace
We are nobody when compared to people like Srimathi Mami, when it comes to Guru Bakthi. I offer my pranams at
the feet of Mahaperiyava. Let us pray that our acharyas will give the mental strength to Kadambavana mama and his family to bear this irrepairable loss.
