After retirement hobbies -6
I always
had a great regard to our
religion .Due to my interactions with
younger generation , I found that our greatest export commodity is them. Most
of them have great regard for our
rituals but are not able to do simple
things like Sandhya Vandanam
,THarpanam and Avani Avittam due
to the non availability on manthras to them
in the language most of them know , that is English . They were not aware
of the rules of life governing a
life of a Brahmin. I did attempt to get Vaidhyanatha Deekshitheeyam the authoritative book in Sanskrit , I located
it on line but it was very difficult to read it
as it was a Xerox copy of a very old
manuscript. It was at this time that I came to know that Mahaperiyavaa , in his great wisdom
had entrusted the job of properly
summarizing of this great book
to a great Scholar called Manjakudi Venkatrama Satrigal and this was published in Tamil by Heritage Educational Trust in Mylapore and according to the wishes of
Mahaperiyavaa it was being sold at a subsidized price . Maha Periyavaa in his gret wisdom also had ordered the publishers that there should not be any copy right to this great
book. I bought the book and translated
it word by word and put it in my
blog. I also added Manthras for Trivedi
Sandhyavandhanam with necessary
modifications for Vadakalai and Then Kalai Iyengars , Amavasai Tharpanam for Yajur Vedam (Iyers
as well as Iyengars) , Bodhayana
THarpana Manthras , Avani avittam
manthras separately for all the three Vedas , Several books on rules
of Behaviour for Sadacharam, etc. Every year for the past fifteen
years I have been putting The sankalpa manthras for Amavasya THarpanam for every year with modifications for
different countries, Avani avitta Manthras
for three Vedas every year and so on. These Manthras are accessed by several thousands of people every year,. My heart fills up
with joy of helping people after
every Avani Avittam when thousands of people thank me . I am getting old but I am determined to keep this service as long God keeps me healthy with the blessings of Mahaperiyava . The blog where you can find all this
information is
