Facts and Figures about Sanatana Dharma, Saints and Sages…-2 Kanchi Paramacharya

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

Doubt cleared

 

Once, a group of musicians and scholars set out to

engrave all the Kritis of Sri Thiyagaraja Swamigal in

his Samadhi. Towards this goal, they were collecting

and analyzing the Saint’s works. In one of the

kirtans, they came across a term, ‘yAntha pAntha’ and

they found it hard to decipher the meaning of this

term. After researching for quite a while, they

finally were about to give up, when they decided to

take this matter to Kanchi Mahaswami Sri

Chandrasekarendra Saraswati.

 

The details were narrated to the Mahaswami and His

help was sought. The seer, without thinking for a

bit, quipped, “ ‘yAntha’ refers to the alphabet

succeeding ‘ya’ which is ‘Ra’ and ‘pAntha’ refers to

the alphabet succeeding ‘pa’ which is ‘Ma’ and so

Thiyagaraja Swamigal means none other than Rama.”.

 

The group was transfixed at the effortless casual

explanation of the Sage.
