Updated: Sri S.M.Ganapathi Sthapathi – Kaliyuga Vishwakarma reaches HIS abode

8 Comments | Posted on 04.07.17 by Periyava Puranam

ஆயிரம் பிறை கண்ட பெருமானுக்கு,
ஆயிரம் காலம் அழியாத,
பெரும் கோவில் கட்டிய பெருமகனார்
திரு எஸ் எம் கணபதி ஸ்தபதி அவர்கள் அய்யனுடன் ஐக்கியம் ஆனார்…

Sri S.M.Ganapathi Sthapathi – “Kaliyuga Vishwakarma” reached the lotus feet of Sri MahaPeriyava todaymorning – April 7th 2017 (Ekadasi day) after a brief illness.

His bhakthi towards Kanchi Sri Matam and Acharyas is impossible to be expressed in words. His surrender towards Sri MahaPeriyava reflects through the monumental ManiMandapam of Sri MahaPeriyava at Orikkai. He was devoted wholeheartedly to the making of the all-granite marvel of architecture – Orikkai Manimandapam which has come up in a blend of the Chola,Chera,Pandya and Pallava traditions of architecture-something that has not been attempted for a thousand years since Raja Raja Chola’s famous Brihadeeswara temple in Thanjavur.

With the blessings of Sri MahaPeriyava, he played a key role in reviving the “Aagama Sastram” that suffered steady decline in the last century.

More of his video experience with Sri MahaPeriyava will follow shortly.

    A life is fully lived only when it is in the service of the Lord. Here is a devotee who worked on several structures, but dedicated his life for only one temple, the Manimandapam at Orikkai. It was the dream of Pradosham Mama, which Sri Ganapathi Sthapathi brought into reality through his blessed hands. Periyava lives for ever, as long as the sun and the moon exist. So also, the memories of Pradosham Mama and Sri Ganapathi Stapathi will live on for all time to come!

    Also, my heartfelt thanks to the team of Mahaperiyavapuranam for working overtime in bringing up this classic tribute.

    ganapathi sthapathi is associated with the construction of many temples in granite- one such is Sri Guruvayurappan mandiram at Hyderabad.
    Meeting him every time has been an inspiration to know about our Shilpa sastram.
    Pray that his soul is in eternal peace.
