EARLY EDUCATION
            Singaperumal Swami performed upanayanam to Venkataryan at a young age in the appropriate manner and sent him to Thiruvaiyaru Sanskrit College for initial education, leading to veda vedhanthas. Venkataryan was born for vedhantha. Even in the days of Singaperumal Swami there were abundant people deliberately twisting the meanings of our shasthras. Instead of making the poorvacharya?s vyakyanams more prominent and well received, these kuthrushtis attempted to cover up those great works and endeavored to release new vyakyanams based on their own mundane interpretations. Due to petty quarrels, our sampradhayam, which was crystal clear, became murky just as elephants do to a clear pond while bathing.
            The number of scholars who truly understood our poorvacharya granthams and were spreading it in the right way started to gradually diminish. Singaperumal Swami was pained deeply by this state of affairs. At his old age he wished to change this. Our Karapankadu swami came to fulfill this wish and to quell everyone disturbing our sampradhayam. Even today we are reaping the benefits of this success.
            While learning tharka shasthra in Thiruvaiyaru College, our Swami was adept enough to teach other students all the subjects. His teachers in the college were amazed by our Swami?s abilities. He learnt tharka shasthram from giants like Vilakkudi Srinivasacharyar Swami, Vennatarankarai Srinivasacharyar Swami and Vijayendraachar swami.

SAMASRAYANAM

            Singaperumal Swami?s ancestors were all swayamacharyars. However, understanding the greatness and importance of being an acharya, Singaperumal Swami surrendered unto acharyas from Thirumalai Anandanpillai santhathi. Govindappangar Swami is one prominent acharyan in that lineage. He was also known as Sri Ranganarayana Jeeyar. Our Swami blessed by great acharya shreshtas of gnana and bhakti, surrendered unto Govindaappangar Swami.

TRUE SISHYA

            Our Venkataryar, having fully mastered various subjects like vyakaranam, tharkam, nyayam etc., with all the auspicious qualities of a true sishya was ready and qualified to receive vedhantha upadhesam. He learnt ?Bhagavath Vishayam ? the dhravita vedam?, Thirumanthram meanings, Thiruppavai meanings and other ?arulicheyals? which are the backbones of our sampradhayam from  Singaperumal Swami himself. He also learnt Mysore Ananthazhwan?s ?Vaathaavali? from Singaperumal Swami.
