Swamin
Adiyen agree with you totally that in today's context the Kalakshebam style is fast depleting , think its mainly due to
1) Time factor, people wish to know lot in small time , also not going in to deep and analysing why author said so etc
2)Knowldege of the recepients in Sanskrit or manipravalam is not that much (as compared to earlier era)
3) Interest shown by the people is only selected few ,we used see only selcted crowds even for upanyasams , for Grantha Kalakshebams it will be still worse
4) Also adiyen feel we should try to reach more people with simple meanings in diff languages
here my feeling is not to hurt any individual or group but general apprehension how much our sampradayan has percolated to the people
Though this is the easiest one to adopt with nothing in our side to make it all in His hands , still the count is low compare to other religions
Sorry for disturbing the bhAghavadas

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.
