He has been giving lectures to a wide spectrum of audience around the world on a wide variety of topics based on Vedas, Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, Srimad Ramayanam, Srimad Bhagavatam, Dhivya Prabhandhams known as Tamil Vedam, and Vishnu SahasraNamam.

He is a trained chartered accountant, who left a lucrative successful profession to immerse himself in this noble task of spreading the Vaishnava philosophy. He enjoys discussions and answering questions on various aspects of leading life in US while maintaining faith and traditional practices. His proficiency in English allows him to reach many, especially youngsters. His lectures have been sponsored by renowned institutions like Tirumala Tirupathi Devasathanams and also widely covered by newspaper and television media. He has given lectures in many major cities within India like Bombay, Bangalore, Calcutta, Hyderabad, Madurai as well as in other countries like Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia. Sri Velukkudi Swami's titles include “Baala Vaag Amrutavarshi” and “Upanayasa Kanteerava”. His humanitarian services include association with a charitable trust which has been starting schools and small hospitals in rural areas to propagate message of brotherhood.

He is also involved in many temple renovations. ========================= The other Purpose of this tour ========================= Maintaining an ancient temple is better than building a hundred new ones. That is the reason why Yashoda who brought up Sri Krishna, attained greater eminence compared to Devaki who gave birth to Him. When the temple is a Divyadesam, the service is all the more significant. “Serve our Temples” is an intiative to help our temples by restoring basic services, food, shelter, education, financial independence Dream a little. Do a little " What we can do, we must " - As He allows us to use His resources for Him via devotees like us. Back home in India, there are so many temples deprived of their basic needs and services, primarily due to lack of funds. With galloping prices, temple assets stripped, no government support, the temples have never found it as difficult to sustain as they have now. Most of the temples are deprived of basic necessities for the unhindered performance of minimum daily prayers. 1. One priest to offer prayers and keep the premises clean and open (Rs 2500 per month) 2. Food, Oil, Flowers (Rs 2500 per month) With just $100 per month (Rs 5000 per month) we have a divine opportunity to preserve a temple. It is the solemn duty to preserve the temple not only for current day devotees to have a divine Darshan but also for our future generations. From the U.S, far away from India, yet you can still make a difference. Allow His Grace to flow, and spend His money for His causes. Vedics Foundation volunteers to serve as a bridge between those willing devotees who have resources and the temples in need. Vedics has already reached out to a few temples. Please visit www.radioramanuja.com for helping an ancient temple.
