In this enchanting village there lived a gentleman by name Mr. Yesudasan Rajamony with his beloved wife. Mrs. Joice Doney Rajamony and this couple gave birth to Professor Rajadhas on 15th of February 1943. In this context it would be useful to the readers and Church historians to know some vital information about Professor Rajadhas' illustrious forefathers. Long time ago the famous LMS Missionary  Rev Ringeltaube was  residing at the famous Uthayagiri Fort and  during one of his travels from Uthayagiri fort to Ammandivilai,  he happened to meet two Hindu brothers in  Allenvilai  and preached  the gospel of Christ to these brothers and their families  and on their acceptance of Jesus as their saviour Rev Ringeltaube baptised these two brothers in 1812 with the new name, Yesuvadian  to the elder brother and Royan to the younger brother. Mr Yesuvadian was called as Periya Moopan  and Mr Royan was called Chinna Moopan. Rev Ringeltaube  baptised these converted brothers' families also.   It would be again inspiring and useful to the Church historians to know about the genealogy of Mr Yesuvadian and his blood relationship with the former Bishop IRH Gnanadasan.. Mr. Yesudian gave birth to Mr Joseph and Joseph gave birth to Mr Masillamani and Masillamani gave birth to Ms. Jeevaretnam Natchathram.

Chrithudhas.   Mr Royan gave birth to Mr Sebasthian and Mr Sebasthian gave birth to Ms Yesuvadial and she married Mr Gnanakan. Mrs. Yesudial Gnanakan gave birth to Mr. Gnanamuthu and Mr  Gnanamuthu gave birth to Bishop Rt. Rev.G. Chrithudhas. Now we will see how the Hero of this Blogpost, Prof.  R.
