Dr.K.C.Varadachari was born at Munulapudi Agraharam a small village near Tiruchanoor a temple town of Sri. Padmavathi Ammavaru on 14th August 1902, in the asterism of Moola and Vrschika Lagna. His father, K.C.Krishnamachari, a senior police officer in the Madras Presidency, was a resident of Tirupati Town and belonged to a traditional Sri Vaishnavite family. He was very dear to his mother Kuppacchi, as he was the only surviving male child born to her. He had two sisters Rajamma and Sulochana. The family tradition is very ancient and has its origin in Sriman Nallan Chakravarthy, a contemporary and a close disciple of Sri Bhashyakar Srimad Ramanuja of 11th Century A.D. His great grand father's grandfather came from a village called Karumbur, a village near Kanchi of Lord Varada.
He was known for his belief in God and innocence from his childhood. His grand father in order to pacify him due to various childish ways used to tell him to go out into open yard in the house and face the sky with closed eyes and open mouth, promising him that God would drop candy into his mouth. He it is said would do so standing for quite long time before he was rewarded (by the grand father) and the young believer used to jump with joy for having been rewarded by God. He was a pet for all in the family as he was the only son. He had two sisters. As the joint family system was still in vogue his cousins also lived with him. He was very intimate with his cousin Sri Ramanujam. In fact Dr.Varadachari was called Chinna samy and Ramanujam, Dorai samy as he was elder to him. This cousin had enormous influence on the prospective Seer. It is said that Sri Ramanujam who participated in the Scout movement in the early 1900, had on one occasion given his skin for graft for a young victim of fire accident for which the King offered the honor of King Scout. The little Boy refused the honor stating that he gave his skin for his brother and not for any honor or reward from the King least of all from a foreign ruler. The same cousin was a pioneer in spreading the Ragi Malt culture and home made table salt apart from many other products of beauty and has strived throughout his life to be a self supporting person. His products Ovomalt and Yto malt health drinks, are the first ones using Ragi released in the market.
