Maha Periyavaa Ashtotharam
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
(Maha Periyavaa
, “the greatest elder “ was the name
people preferred to refer in a hushed tones
to the God
who walked among us and decorated
the Kamakoti Peeta of the Kanchi
Mutt .Even though he is no more with
us , we prefer to chant the name with
all the respect which is due to
it . The “we” that I meant was
the millions of people beyond
caste , creed and religion who have
found that just remembering him
is an elevating divine experience . He lived among us from 1894-1994 and was
the 68th Jagadguru of
Kamakoti peetam. This Ashotharam can be used to worship his photos, paintings
and his footwear . I have taken this ashtotharam from the e-magazine published by my friend
Sri.Anand Vasudevan ,I acknowledge its
full credit to him and his very great e-magazine appropriately called “Amrutha
Varshini(The rain of nectar) . On 2nd june 2015 m, 122nd
Jayanthi is going to be celebrated in a very great way in Mylapore , Madras)
