“Chaaturmaasyam Special”
A full-fledged Experiences of Vaideeka with Sri MahaPeriyava…
Periyava Puranam offers this video series as a humble Samarpanam at the Lotus Feet of Sri MahaPeriyava on the very auspicious occasion of Guru Poornima. Vaideeka Series – on one side, it fills us all with emotions seeing how Periyava had lived all HIS life for Vedham and on the other side, it sure puts us all in guilt giving room to introspect on how we have been taking it all for granted.
Vaideeka Series – 1
Experience of Sri Jambunatha Ghanapadigal
Sri Jambunatha Ghanapadigal son of Sri Venkataraman (Poorna Vedha Adhyayi) hails from the village Nallichery which is in between Thanjavur and Kumbakonam. He is none other than Thiruvannamalai Sri Gowri Shankar mama’s Son in law. He runs Sri Chandrashekhara Bharathi Chandrashekharendra Saraswathi Veda Vidyalaya in Coimbatore.

What is special about Nallichery?
Periyava quotes “நல்லிசேரி-ல 8 மணி வரைக்கும் சூரிய உதயம் தெரியவே தெரியாதே” (In Nallichery, we cannot see the sunrise until
Sri Jambunatha Ghanapadigal did his Kramaandharam in Thippirajapuram from Gurunathar Seetharama Ghanapadigal and gave his exam in Kanchipuram right in front of Periyava and passed with all special accolades.
What is Shadaangam?
The six Anga of Veda are Siksha, Chhanda, Vyakarana, Nirukta, Jyotisha and Kalpa together called as Shadaangam. Periyava insisted why Shadaangam is important thereby reviving Shadaangam.
What is Dasagranti?
The one who learns all 4 Vedas and the 6 Angas are called DasaGranti
REVIVAL OF SHADAANGAM BY SRI MAHAPERIYAVA
Periyava sends Sri Jambunathan to Brahmasri Rameswara Avadhaanigal in Hospet to learn Shadaangam. Sri Jambunathan is reluctant to go wanting to learn Ghanam. Periyava says “எனக்காக போய் நீ அத்யயனம் பண்ணு“. நான் நிறைய பேர அனுப்பினேன், பாதிலேயே வந்துடா, நீ முழுசா முடிச்சுண்டு வரணும்-னு ஆசை, நான் சொல்றேன் கேளு… Periyava said, “கனமும் கிடைக்கும்” – thus Sri Jambunathan became Ghanapadigal and Sampoorna Shadaanga Adhyayi – a rarest of the rare treasure revived by Periyava.
Periyava Vaatsalyam – Sri Jambunatha Ghanapadigal when explaining his moments with Sri MahaPeriyava, brings in front of our eyes how Periyava treated all the Veda Vidyaarthis with so much Vaatsalyam.
“அப்படியே பெரியவா ஓடி வருவா, வந்துடேளா வந்துடேளா கேப்பா… நிங்கலாம் சாப்பிடேளா, காத்தால என்ன சாப்பிடேள் கேப்பா…”
It melts once heart to see how Periyava’s every breath has been Vedham and how much tender loving care HE had shed on the
Brahmasri Rameswara Avadhaanigal – Sri Jambunatha Ghanapadigal says all about his guru with tears. His guru has been the epitome of dedication and sincerity.
How many Yajur Veda Shadaanga Adhyayi exist now
Only FOUR so far including Sri Jambunatha Ghanapadigal – It is only through the blessings of Periyava that Shadaangam has been revived from extinction.
Who is Periyava to you?
To Sri Jambunatha Ghanapadigal, Periyava is Vedham. பெரியவா-னா வேதம் – ஒரு வார்த்தை. வேத அபிவிருத்தி.
I am much much blessed to hear above video.

Namaskaram Shivaraman Mama,
Wonderful to watch the interview of Sri Jambunatha Ganapadigal. My father was attending veda classes under his tutelage in Mysore. 21 years ago, during my high school days, he performed my upanayanam with strict adherence to all vaidika dharma and also enforced the same on me. His chanting of the divine mantras was majestic, and it remains etched in my memory. I vividly remember his instructions for me to perform Sandyavandanam and chant the Gayatri. He told me clearly that Gayatri will protect and guide the one who chants it. He is such an inspiration for everyone. Namaskarams at his holy feet. Namaskarams to You, dear Shivaraman mama, for bringing out this interview.
Thanks,
Sriram

Namaskaram mama. My koti namaskarams to you for giving us the interview of jambunadha Ghanapadigal. My tears have not stopped rolling since i have seen the video.
Maha Periyavaa Thiru Paadangaley Sharanam.
Just to let you know that the experience with Maha Periyavaa by lawyer Sri Subramanian and Jambhunatha Ganabhaadigal is just super to hear as usual. But Ganabhaadigal s experience us in another level. What an involvement while narrating , just makes one awestruck . I have no eligibility to comment on anything but felt it is my duty to appreciate and thank you for bringing all soooooo close to Periyavaa, THE NADAMAADUM DEIVAM.
Pl excuse if any errors while msging as my eagerness to express and let you know makes me ignore these.
Oh Periyavaa is becoming soooooo close to one and all makes us very happy to move with HIM in our midst. HE is there in every household guiding and talking and laughing with us
Jaya Jaya Shankara Hara Hara Shankara
Salute for your service.Many people came to know more about Sri.Periyava.
Just now listened Sri.Jambunatha Ganapadigal’s interview.அதில் ஶ்ரீ.பெரியவா “எனக்காக நீ ஷடங்க அத்தியயணம்

Namaskarams Mama. Watched your video on Jambhunatha ganaphatigal. My eyes welled up with tears every few moments in the interview. I am indebted to you for your recordings ji. I have learnt more in life through your interviews than thru all my studies. Whenever I am in a quandry and not in proper frame of mind your interviews throw light on how one should approach life. Jambhu Mama and his VINAYA and his Guru’s selflessness were eye openers to me Mama. Eternally grateful for your videos ji Dr R Jayaram
