Guest guest Posted August 6, 1997 Report Share Posted August 6, 1997 I received this write up written by one of Bhuvarahachar's disciples to give a background on this esteemed pundit. Sri Elayavilli Bhuvarahachariar Swami is one of the last of the great exponents of the Bhagavadvishayam divine literature. Born in Alwar Tirunagari, the birth place of Swami Nammalwar himself, he has absorbed this literature in the traditional manner from his father and uncle who were themselves well known exponents. He also studied Sanskrit and taught as a professor at St. Joseph's college both at Trichy and Bangalore. Even while in service, he used to devote his mornings andevenings to giving expositions of Divyaprabhandham. Now he has settled down in Bangalore and is devoting his entire time for this purpose. During the year, he gives daily discourses on Bhagavadvishayam and the Rahasyam texts. During the month of margazhi he is most sought after for his lectures on Thiruppavai. His phenomenal memory and ability to speak easily and aparently without effort in chaste Tamil with endless quotations from Ramayana, Bhagavatha and other religious works have amazed and endeared him to all who are fortunate to hear his lectures. His greatest strength in this regard is his mastery of Acharya Hridayam an extremely difficult work by Sri Azhagiya Manavala Perumal Nayanar,which is an analytical survey of Swami Nammalwar's poems. If you have any special requests or questions you can post it in this group. Adiyen Krishna Kalale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
