About

The goal of this blog is to consolidate any unique information about HH Sri Mahaperiyava under one place. The other benefit of this blog is to help our next generation(s) to know about mahans like Him and learn. It is not my intention to violate any copyrights. If it had happened accidentally, please bring it to my notice and I will take those articles down. Needless to say, about 90% of the articles are not authored by me.

About me, not a lot to share….just another devotee of Kanchi Mutt, who hails from Dalmiapuram, Trichy Dist. By profession, I am a senior IT guy currently employed with Cognizant Technology Solutions, based out of Chicagoland….I am truly fortunate to have (1) an amazing sets of vedic friends in Chicagoland (2) great devotees of Mahaperiyava in Chennai (3) all the readers from this blog  who have been motivating me to bring this blog to this level (4) above all, HH Sri Mahaperiyava without His blessings, we couldn’t have achieved anything.

I truly believe that living in the same time period of HH Sri Mahaperiyava, Bagawan Ramana and other mahans as a true blessing. Let His grace be on us at all times to guide us and elevate us to next level in the spiritual journey.

I sincerely hope that we as individuals not only read and enjoy these articles but also to follow Him in whatever extent possible. It is equally or more important to pass on these knowledge to our next generation and insist them to follow the direction laid out by our Mahaswami.

Jaya Jaya Shankara Hara Hara Shankara

    Thanks for a great service!
    Many in the present generation do not know much about HH Mahaperiyava., His Knowledge and His Teachings. They know Him just a Seer of kanchi Mutt
    Reading all anecdotes is a great learning experience.
    Thanks again to you and your team!

    I was blessed by Maha periyava in the year 1992 or 1993 when I was 10 or 11 year old, I faintly remember him too old sitting in a chair inside the room where His maha samadhi is located now & there used to be a stage , i was standing over the stage just facing him & praying to him without knowing what to ask to this incarnation of shiva. Since then if ever i think of Guru only his face flashes in front of me.

    You are doing a great service to Humanity by sharing the life of a maharishi with people like me who could not live our life along with the sage.

    Greetings and Namaskar the Creator of this Wonderful Site. This is indeed a yeomen service to the devotees of Maha Periyaval. Hv been composing Tamil lyrics on various Deities, particularly Ambal Neelayadakshi of Nagapattinam and my son has helped me to bring out an album of ten of my songs. Hv also written two compositions on Maha Periyaval. When HE was camping in Satara, I took the opportunity to have HIS Darshan and went there. It occured to me that I should show him my composition on Maha Periyaval and started scribbling it on an available piece of paper and instantly a feeling occured that I should not boast about it. The moment I wrote that, He would have known it and therefore, I did not proceed with that scribbling. When I was third or fourth in the queue, the Sage gestured at my side and I thought it was for someone else, but then when His attendant told me that He was calling me, I just shivered and tears rolled down my eyes. Deivam was calling me, an atom of a dust particle and that Deivam was talking to me enquiring about me, my family – What to tell HIM who knew everything? HE Blessed and I felt that I was blessed with the purpose of my life.
    Would like to share those two songs I have written if permitted please and if I can know the email id too. Thanks. May our Maha Periyaval Bless this Site to be known the world over for the World to become the beneficiary.

    What a payback to the Young & future generation.

    A humble suggestion : There can be a section witn Veda classes in this wonderful site, to benefit the future generation learn veda (E-learning ?). People who wants to learn veda but not able to pursue the Veda parayanam can benefit out of it. The preaching of Vedam spreads to many generations.

    And more, there can be a ‘Sandhyavandanam’ class on a E-learning portal, stress the importance and duty of a Brahman to perform Sandhyavandanam. etc.

    Thanks to my beloved mama Shri. Ramasamy who let me know about this great portal.

      Is this Madhu? Good to be connected with you after several decades…..

      Great idea. On sandhyavandhanam, I have some material, links etc, which I will add..mon r-learning Vedas, I am against it(!) as Veda should be learnt in the old fashioned way….from the vadhyar to the student directly…that is my stand…that is what Periyava instructed too.

    Hi,

    RE: “Vedic language is the Oldest Language in
    the world – Kanchi Mahaperiyavaa – from Gemini
    Ramamurthy”

    Recently, a friend of mine forwarded me the above article. His email ended with the line,

    “Translated from Thiruvannamalai Shri Gowrishankar’s
    tamil video interview in http://mahaperiyavaa.wordpress.com”

    Would you please point me to the original tamil video interview?

    Many thanks.

    Hi Mahesh!

    From the above article:
    “In Vedas it is mentioned that the world has been classified into 32 portions/regions. And in each of the 32 geographic regions, Vedas say how the Veda Aksharas have changed/pronounced in those places!”

    Do you have any more information on the above topic, either on your site or elsewhere? I have always wondered why we have so many languages in the world, and what would prompt our ancestors to start making different sounds (seemingly) ‘at random’ to create entirely new languages (vocabulary + grammar). Even if many of these languages are related, why would there be need at all to create lesser/imperfect languages compared to Sanskrit/Tamil?!

    But after reading this article, it appears that these apparently very different languages may not be all that different at all! I find it quite intriguing in fact that Vedas are directing people to say things differently in different regions (32)!! Therefore, I would like to get more information on this, if possible.

    Would greatly, greatly appreciate if you could provide me the information or point me in the right direction. It is not possible/practical for me, for example, to join a gurukul in India and learn Vedas and Sanskrit. Next life, may be, but not in this one.)

    Many thanks in advance,
    Gob bless -
    /HS

    PS: I’ll try to post the above as a reply to the original poster also, to see if he can provide more information on this.

    Hello Sri.Mahesh

    I got a forwarded mail yesterday on the subject Vedic language as the oldest language.I was quite fascinated and I watched the video interview with Shri.Gowrishankar.I was looking for a hint of that verse they are discussing here.Can you tell me the exact verse in both Rig Veda and the Hebrew verse? I think if we quote that verse and the corresponding sound changes to the vowels/ words/letters,it would be more helpful. For people like me who don’t have much knowledge on Vedas but have staunch faith in it, knowing this realation will be more helpful particularly in an environment where people expect proof for almost everything.When I forwarded this mail to my friends,the obvious question was what verse was that or atleast how to transpose.Can you help me here.

    It’s a great work that you are doing.We really appreciate that.

    Regards
    Indira Lakshmi Narasimhan.

    Hi Mahesh,

    All the experiences are really good and give more light on Maha periyava. Thanks for the great job.

    I need a help from you. I had many wonderful experiences with Mahaperiyava and like to share the same with all.
    I painted Mahaperiya in 1982 and he blessed the picture and said he is in that picture and no need to come kanchipuram to see him. That picture has high power and many miracles happens in our house after that.
    For one of my Ramar patabhisekam paintings Mahaperiyava did Thanda Namaskaram and said Rama came to see him. He was very happy on that Sri Ramanavami day and I also got a great chance to sing my own composition song on Mahaperiyava near his ears and he was so happy and blessed me. He also asked Sri Vedapuri mama to represent him for my marriage and blessed us with one silver coin as his gift to me with prasadam.

    We are celebrating Mahaperiya Jayanthi regulaly with homam and pooja every year and invite everyone for the same.

    Like this I had and still feel him with me at all the times. I like to share all these with every one. Please give me your contact number.My number is 9600064140. , 044-22482982.I am in Pallavaram, Chennai.

    Regards,
    Venkatesan.

    Namaste,

    Your site is most uplifting and harmonious.
    Reading the articles and watching the video interviews which are so beautiful and simple and natural, brings peace of mind and a hope and courage to the mind and heart.
    Somedays we are just too overwhelmed and life seems such an uphill task. At such times these videos especially fill us with great peace and lightness and reiterate the bhavam of saranagathi.
    Thank you sir, for your enormous service.

    No description can bring home the great contribution from you. Yes, we all agree that this work cannot happen unless it has the devine grace of Mahaperiyava. Devinity has it’s own way of spreading message, We will offer all this great work back to divinity it-self. For long i have been contemplating the idea of bringing DEIVATHIN KURAL as “AMAR CHITRA KATHA”, for the younger generation. I think you and your team should spear-head this work as well. .

    Namaskarams to you.

    namaskarams. Based on Kalakadu Dr Seetalakshi interview, I am interested in the MP3 of Lalitha Geetha Narayanam.

    Where can I find the MP3?

    HIS blessings will be with you for your great service.
