I have had the fortune of living just 4/5 houses away from his house in

Kanchipuram

while I was young.

I still remember his glowing face . He never missed the goshti and was the

'thodakkam' (person who begins the goshti) always.

He replied to every letter that he got and he always used to encourage small

children

to learn 'naalaayiram'.

He has written numerous books on nalayiram. Most of the current

books on naalaayiram with interpretations have been written by him.

 

In Kanchipuram, we always used to refer to him as 'swami'. Even now, in

Kanchipuram,

'Swami' means P.B.Annangaraachariar. His thirunakhsathiram is celebrated every

year

now.

 

As an aside, the reason that Anna got the title Prativaadhi Bayangaram was that

he won a debate with someone. If someone knows more about the debate that he

won,

please pass on the information.
