Sri Dushyanth Sridhar needs no introduction. He is an exponent on the religious texts of Sanatana Dharma, has travelled widely and is a regular speaker on television channels. He is trained in the lots of scriptures by revered preceptors and has been duly acclaimed by them for his oratorical skills.
While Sri Dushyanth makes his listeners awestruck by his memory through recitation of many scriptures, little do we know that he attributes his memory power to the blessings of Sri MahaPeriyava.
Without seeing Kanchi MahaPeriyava, I would not have got what I’m – Sri Dushyanth Sridhar.
And he has more to say…
- To me, HE is Hayagrivar Avatharam
- HE is the Saint of the Millennia
- I cannot do my upanyasam without referring to Sri MahaPeriyava at one context or the other
- His Bhaja Govindham CD and Sri MahaPeriyava in the CD Cover
And also, Sri Dushyanth narrates an incident of how his Acharyan wrote a foreword for Neelakanta Vijaya Champu and Sri MahaPeriyava’s magnanimity in acknowledging the foreword.
How could HE do so much wonders – wonders Sri Dushyanth Sridhar.
Very fulfilling interview.
Thank you so much

Very happy to listen. It is a great revelation to Dushyanth Sridhar that Mahaperiyava is the incarnation of Hayagriva. True. It is also true that younger generation here and the intellectuals world over think great of Vedas and realise how Vedas sustain the world and universe. It is by sheer grace of Him that the very intelligent and prolific speaker Dushyanth Sridhar is able to give scintillating pravachans extempore with good diction and clarity. Mahaperiyava as usual is very subtle in His effects. This is proved by the Sridhar ending his interview with a suggestion that all of us need to unite under the big umbrella of Vedic culture and to propagate Vedas. Is it not what Mahaperiyava strived for, all through His glorious life? Is it not true that He was true to His Advaitha philosophy by treating all faiths as one, as propounded by His Guru Adi Sankarar when Shanmatha concept was founded?
One thing is sure from this interview. Mahaperiyava is here and is forever. He moves people from within. His grace is immeasurable. His ways are inscrutable. He is ever compassionate. Thanks Mahaperiyava.
Superb. In this young age Mr. SRIDHAR showing his concern for upholding Hindu Dharma and Values.
Hats off.
Maha Periyava Blessings.
Mesmerizing Interview, sometimes I feel mahaperiva is the tenth avatar of Mahavishnu?, sometimes I feel, he pours unconditional love like a mother, I really liked the innocence of the dushyanth sridhar, but even after having the dharshan and beaming look of periva, what i am doing … nothing, I feel very guilty of doing nothing, The Kaingaryam or contributions made by sridhar is highly commendable, Thanks for uploading such a great interview.

This talk by Sri Dushyanth Sridhar is definitely a great inspiration for those who could not physically got anukgragam from Paramachariar, Mahaperiyava is universal Paramathma of Parameshwaran who can be seen anytime after his left this world. He is always with us whenever we need him. Sri Sridhar gave excellent talk in this video. Mahaperivaya eternally bless him in his discourse on great vedha .
Great and superb interview. Very thought provoking. Enjoyed every bit of it. Thanks a lot.

Ahaa! What an amazing experience this is. Listening to Shri. Dushyanth Sridhar’s experience and intellectual points itself is a great experience. Very heartening to see Shri. Sridhar is planning ahead of Sri MahaperiyavA’s 125 Jayanthi by encouraging and creating more awareness on importance of Vedam.
Striking coincidence is that the difference between Swami and Perumaal for Smaartha and VaishNava has been explained by MahaperiyavA in one of the Upanyaasams . Please pass this on to Sri. Sridhar.

Namaste,
In continuation with the previous comment, I missed to mention about Ananda Sagara Stavam before submitting the comment. It was very surprising to see someone mentioning about the Sri. Neelakanda Dheekshidar’s wonderful works. I personally haven’t heard anyone talking about the importance of saving such amazing shlokams and encouraging the next generation to learn them other than Sri MahaperiyavA. Sri MahaperiyavA has beautifully rendered the second shlokam from Ananda Sagara Stavam “Avedyataam” in which PeriyavA literally sings the shlokam towards end (it will be so madhuram to ears).
Ananda Sagara Stavam is a collection of 108 beautiful shlokams on Ambaal Meenakshi and glad that Sri. Sridhar mentions about it so more people can start learning the shlolam.

Sri Mahaperiyava Charanam, Very nice interview. thanks a lot
Believe it or not…. throughout the video, I started crying every experience Sri Sridhar shared in it. I am immersed on my own tears of Bhakti Pravaaham.
What a wonderful blessed soul Sri Sridhar is!
I just pray Maha Periva that Sri Sridhar should give an exclusive Pravachanam on Maha Periva. May we all get this blessed opportunity to hear from his mouth?
Outstanding interview! Dushyant’s clarity of thoughts and voice lends heft to the task that we need to rededicate ourselves if we have to perpetuate the memory of Mahaperiyavaa. Surrender to the Jagadguru and pranams to Dushyanth and Sivaraman Sir for this timely interview.
Very Metured talking in the very young age. Was very intresting.Thanks for uploading such a wonderful interview.
Namaskaram Anna Sri Dushyant sridhar’s interview,who interviewed.is it Sri Bharat Subramanian? Anna as Sri Dushyant Sridhar himself suggested we must capture the various contributions of all the acharyals-irrespective of their schools in the form of books and other media for the benefit of our own generation as well as posterity.we need to vigorously pursue and accomplish.our heritage is so beautiful huge and awesome, capturing the various aspects is in my view deserving of the highest priority.krishnamurthy Mumbai

I would like to share a bit, for me Mahaperiyava was and is a real inspiration to get to more spiritual side of life, even though working in corporate MNCs like Philips, NXP etc , I found a real purpose to life after reading his Hindu Dharma volume 1 (many times), I started to learn Vedas, do Sandhya 3 times a day. I really feel Mahaperiyava transformed my life.
In Srivishnava Community more emphasis is given to study Tamil Veda(4000 Divya Prabhandham), but for me he inspired me to learn the vedas with reverent Gurus near my house, I am really happy to share this.

It is incorrect to say that we, the followers of Naatha muni, Yaamuna muni, Ramanuja muni and later great acharyars emphasize Tamil prabhandams over srutis. We are not SriVaishnavas until we have some understanding of SriBhashyam, Gita Bhashyam and Rahasya traya-saaram. Tamil prabhandams resolve the conflicts faced by the students depending on Sanskrit works alone. Hence we are known as Ubhaya Vedantis. Please do not misrepresent the great Ramanuja sampradayam.
