Ubayavedantha Mahavidwan Sri Kanchi Prativadi Bhayankaram Annangrachariar Swami was a living legend in his days and is still a living memory. His contribution to the growth and spread of Emperumanar Darisanam is beyond words. His books are innumerable, and a great treasure to prosterity. He delivered countless upanyasams in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi and Sanskrit. His inimitable ringing voice and his lucid presentation captured the imagination of his audience in a big way all over the country. Fortunately for us some of his upanyasams have been recorded on audio tapes and or now released in the form of Compact Discs.
The Thiruppavai sung by Sri Andal Piratti is a poem of 30 sublime verses which contains the quintessence of the vedas. It is a poem of deep devotion addressed to Sri Lord krishna. Countless scholars continue to discourse on this poem every year in the month of Margazhi (Dec - Jan). Sri P B A Swami discoursed on Andal's Thiruppavai
countless times in Madras and elsewhere. Apart from conveying the interpretation of our purvacharyas Sri Swami interpreted the verses in novel ways from his fertile imagination without infringing traditional views. The present CD is a record of his lecture in his citadel in chennai.
