=======================================================

 

Incident in kAlakshEpam

 

More than 70 vidwAns used to attend the kAlakshEpa

goshti of Srimath pEriAndavan. As a general norm

during the kAlakshEpam, goshti would very keenly

observe the rendering of their AchAryan and whatever

doubts they may have would get them cleared after its

completion for that day. They would not indulge in any

kinds of discussion or debate when it was in progress.

This tradition was unfortunately broken once when the

sishyAs got engaged in a debate and lengthy

discussions even in the presence of Srimath

PeriAndavan. Srimath pEriAndavan felt upset and told

the audience that he would not render the kAkakshEpam

and hence left the place. All the sishyAs felt very

bad about the incident and later proceeded to their

destination. But SrinivAsarAghavan swami was pained

beyond one can imagine and He never moved from the

place where he sat during the kAlakshEpam. Obviously

he was gloom personified and got very much distressed

for the apachAram that got committed inadvertently by

all the sishyAs in front of their revered AchAryA.

 

Srimath pEriAndavan came to know about this and called

for SrinivAsarAghavan swami. He was very happy to see

SwAmi’s AchArya bhakti and His VairAghya and He gladly

resumed rendering kAlakshEpam to his beloved sishyA.

 

British Raj’s Respect towards swami

 

Knowing the profound mastery swami had on all the

vEdAs, sAstrAs, kalpa sutras and other scriptures,

british raj made use of swAmi’s immense knowledge on

these subjects, approaching Him and asking for His

guidance in their task of constituting various laws

based on Hindu philosophy specifically in the areas of

manu smriti and yAjyavalkyA smriti.
