PRAVACHANAMS

1. Bhagavath Geetha: Due to the

grace of Githacharyan, our swami had brilliant knowledge of Bhagavath

Gita and was giving discourses on numerous occasions. Swami had completed

Gita discourses alone more than 10 times. Out of these 4 or 5 times, the

discourses were given in Parathasarathy sannithi itself. In addition to

places in Chennai like Mambalam, Mylapore and Town, Swami gave Gita

discourses in other cities like Coimbatore, Chitoor, Mumbai, Madurai

etc., Swami completed Gita Bhashya lecture based on Thathparya Chandrikai

also.

2. Bhagavath Vishyam: Swamy had

done ‘sattumurai’ of ‘eedu’’ kalakshepam at least three times.

For many scholars this great grantham is impossible to complete even once

in their life time. The kalakshepam took place in Mambalam, Triplicane

etc. However, the one conducted Swami’s own thirumalikai, this could not

be completed.

3. Sri Bhashyam: Swami completed

this kalakshepam based on “Shrutha Prakasikai” in Sennakesavan

Sannithi. As a lecture series Swami completed this grantham in many

places like Mambalam, Triplicane etc., His attempts to complete this one

more time in his thirumalikai could not be fulfilled due to lack of

time.

4. Sri Ramayanam: In Mambalam and

Kasi Chetty street our Swami completed twice the kalakshepam on Ramayanam

including every single slokam. In addition to this, as a collection of

upanyasams Swami performed Rama Pattabishekam in many places, including

Sennakesavan Sannidhi.

5. Sri Bhagavatham: With ‘Veera

Raghaveeyam’ Swami completed Bhagavatham kalakshepam in Mambalam and

Kakumani Charity buildings. ‘Dhasama Skantham’ and ‘Ekadhasa

Skantham’ alone were completed in many places.

6. Sri Vishnu Puranam: Swami

completed Vishnu Puranam kalakshepam, based on Engalazhwan vyakyanam, in

Triplicane Sri Parthasarathi Bhaktha Samaj and Chennai Gita

Sangam.

7. Sahasranama Bhashyam: With

Battar Bhashyam, Swami completed this series in Vanamamalai matam and

other places.

8. Mahabharatham: In Triplicane

Vanamamalai Mutt Swami completed Mahabharatham kalakshepam with Gita

‘sattumurai’ in 1966. This was completed with Dharmaraja

Pattabishekam.

9. Rahasya Granthams:

a. Srivachana Bushnam: Swami

completed this great grantha kalakshepam based on Mamunikal’s

vyakyanam

b. Mumukshupadi: More than 10

times in Chennai and other places Swami completed Pillai Ulakaryan’s

masterpiece to the delight of every askthika.

c. Acharya Hrudhayam: Three times

Swami completed this upanyasam in Chennai and also in his

thirumalikai.

d. Thathva Thrayam: Many were

blessed to hear Swami’s complete lectures on Thathva Thrayam in

Triplicane Vanamamalai Mutt.

10. Other Prabandhams: As if the above mentioned list was

not enough, Swami also gave lectures in other Prabhandhams like Nachiyar

Thirumozhi, Thiruvirutham, Thirunedunthandakam, Ashtasloki, Chatusloki

etc.,

11. Thirupavai: This is Swami’s most favorite subject.

More than 50 times Swamy completed Thirupavai discourses, which even

today is an achievement difficult for many to simply imagine. Dr. V. Rama

Iyengar took special care in introducing Swami’s Thirupavai discourses to

Chennai.

Swami

will never lecture without poorvacharya’s vyakyanams. He will spend his

entire daytime in reading these vyakyanams and give discourses in the

mornings and evenings. Many noble hearted philanthropists like

Thirumazhisai Dr.T.A. Rangacharyar, Numazhwar Chetty, Kakumani Charities,

Triplicane Parthasarathy Bhaktha Samaj took special attention in matters

related to Swami’s kalakshepams.

Due to

health reasons Swami could not travel much outside of Chennai. In spite

of this, Swami gave kalakshepams in Coimbatore, Thanjai, Mannarkudi,

Madurai, Thiruperai, Azhwar Thirunakari, Sri Villiputhur, Udumalaipettai,

Chithoor, Salem, Mumbai, Delhi etc.,

In

addition to grantha kalakshepams and upanyasams, Swami also used to

conduct, Thirupavai sadas, vidhvath sadas, vakyaartha goshti, opening

ceremonies, book release functions and other functions. Swami’s words

never failed to attract the hearts of asthikas in any place or any

situation.
