Malleshwaram Sri Sankaran mama, an ardent devotee of Sri Matam and Periyava, attained Periyava’s Lotus Feet on April 20th 2017 early in the morning. He was instrumental in bringing out the Periyava Kural audio CD which is a compendium of rare Anugraha Bhashanam delivered by MahaPeriyava, in addition to recording and helping in bringing out the Deivathin Kural audio discourses CD delivered by Brahmashri Ganesha Sarmaji.
Mama will live through every track in Periyava Kural that drenches the devotees in Periyava Smaranai… Here is a small tribute to Sri Sankaran Mama…
Some of the Periyava Kural Audio tracks can be listened here.
Simply superb!! How dedicated Sankaran Mama is!!

Wonderful speech. Thanks to you to for storing it so safely for 15 years and finally brought it in CD form. Periva knows to whom to assign the task we have to be patient and pray. This is the message I got. Thanks once again for the wonderful service you are providing for the fallen soul.

So grateful to Shri sankaran mama. what a great soul blessed by mahaperiava.. .. As Ms. Uma says it brought tears listening to your narraration. you talk from your heart..
sri sivaraman is so blessed to take on these kaingaryams . .. there is no comparision. both of you have worked for this mission…
These are real Gems. For the people who have not seen Mahaperiyava, his Divine voice was the only source of consolation. Your tribute to Sankaran mama who tirelessly brought these Gems in the current form brought unstoppable tears into my eyes. Pranams to his service to the humanity. Iam sure he would be in Mahaperiyava’s laps up there. Om Gurubhyo namaha!!!
We often don’t realize how much time, effort, dedication and struggle have gone in digitizing Maha Periyava’s voice, video and even in capturing devotees experiences with Maha Periyava. We effortlessly (and without paying a paisa!) listen to Maha Periyava’s kural or watch video sitting in comfort with a device in hand, without even giving proper and the deserved respect to gods voice or to the effort that has gone into bringing it to us. This tribute has made us realize that effort.
On the other side, made me realize how even when a golden opportunity knocks on our doors, we tend to miss most of them (thinking it is just another wasteful effort by someone and trying to take advantage of me!), due to our ego, mad chase for money, etc.
As Sivaramanji has said, we need to become a “nobody”, “dhoosi” in his words, so that maha periyava can make what HE wants to make of us. You are so blessed Sivaraman sir, periyava kitta engala pathiyum konjam sollungo!
தோன்றிற் புகழோடு தோன்றுக வஃதிலார்
தோன்றலிற் றோன்றாமை நன்று
என்பான் வள்ளுவப் பெருந்தகை.
சிறிய அளவில் தியாகம், தொண்டு, உதவி செய்துவிட்டு அதனை பெருமளவில் பறைசாற்றும் ஒரு விளம்பர யுகம் இது.
ஆனால், ‘ஞாலத்தின் மாலப் பெரிய’ உதவியை நமக்கெல்லாம் செய்துவிட்டு, அதுபற்றி வெளியுலகத்துக்கு எவ்வித விவரங்களும் வரத் தேவையில்லை என்று வாழ்ந்த உத்தமர். எளிமையின் இலக்கணம்.
அவரை நினையாமல் ‘ பெரியவா குரல் – இறைவன் தனது உரை’ தொகுப்புகளை நாம் கேட்க முடியாது, கூடவும் கூடாது.
‘செய்நன்றி கொன்ற மகற்கு’ என்றாகி விடுவோம்.
ஸ்ரீ சங்கரன் மாமா நம்மை மாளாத்துயரில் ஆழ்த்தி மீளாவுலகம் சென்றாலும் நம்மில் என்றும் இருப்பார் – ‘ஒலியாகி’.
வாழ்க நீ எம்மான் …
Having known Sankaran Mama quite closely, I can say every word in this tribute speech is true and a clear description of his self. A reticent person, he was a man of few words but of immense action. He had wonderful technical know-how, which he held to as a dear hobby. Even at the age of 76, he would be interested in electronics, audio recordings, conversions, etc. And he put all this expertise to the greatest service anybody can be blessed with, in bringing out the Periyava Kural CD. It is no exaggeration if one said Periyava handpicked him for this job. Hailing from a family that was devoted to the service of Srimatam for generations, he too joined the ranks of his forefathers in offering a different and unique type of service. As if to certify that his Guru Bhakti gifted him the coveted state of moksha, his forefinger and the thumb were found to be joined together in the process of a Rama nama japam, which he performed incessantly until his last breath.
Namastesham Mahatmanaam
SANKARARI KURALAI SANKARANAAL THAAN RETRIEVE PANNA MUDIUM POLA IRRUKU!!!.
ALAGILA VILAYATTUDAYAN.
I pity the person who wanted to charge Rs. 1,500 per tape. Periyava’s anugraham came knocking at his door and he ignored it. You need His blessings even for getting the anugraham!!
With His Grace, His Voice is being transcribed : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPiV-ZV2xSmzqSYnnYWICkg
Really a great effort. Some people like me know about mahaperiyava and come to know his preaches and advices thro’ some journals and books. But I have not at all heard the voice of Mahaperiyava till this date. Now I am blessed with an opportunity to hear HIS voice thro’ CD. Whenever I hear the voice of Mahaperiyava Great Sankaran mama and Sivaramji will come to my mind.
I am also proud to say that Mr.sivaram is relative to me. [ His brother’s brother in law. ]

The matchless service of Sri Sankaran Maamanand Sri Sivaramanji will be ever remembered by Devotees for keeping Periyava Kural available to them. Maha Periyava has taken Sri sankaran Maama to His Lotus Feet! Hara Hara Shankara, Jaya Jaya Shankara!
I don’t know what to say…all maha periva blessings…I tuned into this AV track with heavy heart but after listening to your experience I felt much better…Nambalku periva iruka..Periva pathupa…
Hara hara Sankara jaya jaya sankara….
Mahaperiyavaa delayed his call to Sankaran Mama only to bring this jewel to this world for his devotees. mission accomplished. now Sankaran mama reached his feet. Periyavaa’s love/blessings to us is infinite which cannot be described in words.
Sivaraman Sir – You are best ! keep up great work.
Let Mahaperiyavaa & Sivan SAR blessing be with you & your family.
