About a hundred and fifty years ago Ayya Vaikundar arose for the upliftment of the poor and down trodden people of the erstwhile South Travancore. He was rather a great social revolutionary than a preacher. He revolutionized Hindu religion. He foretold a variety of events many of which have been realized. He established the cult of Ayyavazhi.

Thousands of people from far and near and from every walk of life irrespective of caste, creed and language, visit Swamythoppu to worship Ayya Vaikundar. There was a long felt need for an online site about Ayya Vaikundar in English and we hope this will satisfy the need to a certain extent. This will be the first step to take Ayya Vaikundar to the nonTamil speaking world.
