The
number of upanyasakas was growing in Chennai. There were only a handful
of vedanta upanyasakas. It was very rare to find a grantha kalakshepam
based on purvacharya srisukthis. Many scholars simply took these lectures
as an opportunity to display their oratory skills and quote from various
languages. This became a new style in today?s kalakshepam. However, our
Swami?s kalakshepams were completely different. Every time our Swami gave
grantha kalakshepam he became the author of the grantham itself. If he is
giving lecture based on Bhagavath vishayam, he will become Nampillai
himself. In Shribhashya lectures we can see Udayavar. In lectures on
rahasya grantha?s we can see Pillai Ulakaryan and Swami Manavala
Mamunikal. If it is Azhwars ?arulicheyals? or Sri Ramayanam we will be
seeing Swami Periyavachan Pillai. In Thathparya Chandrika Swami Vedanta
Desikan will be seen. If it is stotrams, Alawandar, Azhwan and Bhatar
will all be with our swami.
It is
the trait of great scholars not to omit even a small detail. Our Swami
will never miss a single letter in Emperumanar?s Vyakhyanams. It is a
rare ability to explain matters without hurting the feelings of other
religions or mathams. It is an in-built ability of our swami.
