Namaskarangal !!!
“Experiences With MahaPeriyava” – So many devotees, so many divine experiences, so many soul touching narrations bringing tears in our eyes thinking of Periyava, so many hilarious incidents making us travel back in time and laugh visualizing those moments… This spiritual journey has been one of its kind … It is a great pleasure and privilege to be a part of this Divine Work. It is the Anugraham and Guru Krupai to do Guru Kainkaryam. No words would be apt other than saying – “Avan Arulale Avan thal vanangi”.
- Sri Veda Vyasa compiled 18 Puranam and gave a name to each of the Puranam…
- Sri Sekkizhar Peruman compiled the life stories of the SivanAdiyar and named it as “Periya Puranam”…
- When we talk about the experiences of the devotees of Sri MahaPeriyava and Sri Sivan Sar, it is very apt to name it “Periyava Puranam”…
Capturing and documenting the experiences of the devotees of Sri MahaPeriyava was never a planned initiative. With a camcorder in hand, it all started so casually…
Inspired by M ( Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna), though this work was started many years back, initiated by Sri Mettur Swamigal, Periyava Puranam has taken a very good shape in the last 4 years. Many devotees have worked for this and they continue to do so. Few names are known, many remain unknown. Primarily, these video experiences came to limelight through “Sage of Kanchi” WordPress site and later through MahaPeriyava.Org as well. Since then, the family of Periyava devotees has been growing manifold…
Blessed were those who were electrified in the mere presence of Sri MahaPeriyava
Blessed were those who were blessed in person by Sri MahaPeriyava
Blessed were those who had miraculous experience with Sri MahaPeriyava
Blessed were those who drank the nectar of wisdom from Sri MahaPeriyava
Blessed were those who were guided by Sri MahaPeriyava
But equally blessed are those devotees who have the blessing to emotionally feel such of those unique experiences through books, videos and audio sources.
Moving forward, “PeriyavaPuranam.org” also “MahaPeriyavaPuranam.org” will continue to host more treasurable videos/audio/photos/article of Periyava Puranam. It will be a companion for the seekers like us in the path of Bhakti.
“Loka samastha sukhino bhavanthu”
Seeking the blessings for all…

பெரிய புராணத்துக்கு சேக்கிழார் பெருமான் இட்ட பெயர் ‘பெரிய புராணம்’ அல்ல. ‘திருத் தொண்டர்’ புராணம்.
அதேபோல, இங்கே ஐயனின் திருத் தொண்டர்கள் பகிரும் புராணங்கள். (சம்பவங்கள், அனுபவங்கள்).
திருத் தொண்டர் – அதாவது தொண்டர்கள் இறைவனின் விலைமதிக்க முடியாத செல்வங்கள். அதனாலேயே அவர்கள் திருத் தொண்டர்கள். (மரியாதைக்குரிய, போற்றுதலுக்குரிய தொண்டர்கள்).
இறைவன் மிக மதிக்க முடியாத, எத்தனை விலை கொடுத்தும் வாங்கப் பட முடியாத செல்வம். அதனாலேயே அவன் திரு.
அப்படியாப் பட்ட, அந்த திரு நமக்கு வேண்டும் என்றால் ஒரே விலை, அவனது தொண்டர்கள் பற்றிய புராணங்களை நாம் கேட்பதும், பார்ப்பதும், படிப்பதுமே ஆகும். அந்த தொண்டர்களைப் பிடித்து, அதன் மூலம் அவனைப் பிடித்து விடலாம்.
தில்லை வாழ் அந்தணர் தம் அடியார்க்கும் அடியேன் என்று பாடிய சுந்தரரைப் பிடித்து எப்படி சோமாசி மாற நாயனார் சிவபெருமானைப் பிடித்தார் என்பது நமக்கெல்லாம் ஐயன் சொல்லிக் கொடுத்து தெரிந்தது தானே?
இப்போது, பெரியவா புராணத்தைப் பார்க்கிறோம், கேட்கிறோம். இவற்றை எல்லாம் நாம் பெரியவாபுராணம் என்று எழுத்து வடிவில் கூடிய விரைவில் படிக்க அந்த எல்லாம் வல்ல பரம்பொருளாம் எளியார்க்கு எளியன் ஐயன் அருள் கைகூட்டட்டும்.

Thanks for bringing Periyava’s experiences into light especially for youngsters like me..it is a great motivation and increases the thirst of wanting to hear more about Periyava.
Dear Shivaraman,
Glad that you have your web site to bring out more of Periyava’s message out to the world. Along with so many other followers, let me also pray Mahaperiyava for all the blessings to you to continue your divine journey and help us all enjoy the same through your camera.

How these interviews impact ordinary souls like me?
I am going to write a detailed note …
Sri Ramadurai Mama himself is an example to us…
I think I need to see the two parts with pencil and note pad for couple of times, and surely we can come up with a book with 20 chapters or even more.
But the most important thing that attracted me is references to Brahma Sri Veda Puri mama.
In many places he refers Brahma Sri and couple of instances he cries also …
Touching part is when he says kodi namaskarams to vedapuri mama…
These interviews are all lessons.
It transforms every individual …as Sri rama durai mama himself says…
In total a blissful experience…
ThonDartham Perumai Sollavum ARithee! These Experiences should come in book form also. Great efforts will succeed by Maha Periyava’s Grace! Hara Hara Shankara, Jaya Jaya Shankara!
Respected Sri.Sivaraman Sir, Thank you very much for your wonderful service to all the devotees of Mahaperiavaa spread all over the world.We are meeting very often at Pazhur
Triplicane periavaa Aradanai,Tenampakkam atirudram,Maharudram at Gangtok arranged by Srimatam etc etc and we the family members are highly blessed by your short
visit to our flat at Perambur last month to see Brahmasri.Vedapuri sastrigal who was kind enough to stay with us for about 10 days.
I am very happy I was instrumental in arranging the interview by you with Dr.Mani Veeraraghavan whom I met as a patient and he started his exps.with mahaperiavaa.
Reg.interview , a small request.Please make a list of all the interviews of Experiences with Mahaperiavaa – that is name of all devotees in an pdf file with url no. so that
we do not want to miss not even one interview.To my knowledge it should be around 250 to 270 in nos. so far.Though it is a laborious process to recall accl pl. do it for the sake
of all mahaperiavaa devotees-Ravishankar,Perambur
Namaskaram.
Thanks for your valuable feedback on making a list of interviews so that it will be easy to access. As this site has just been launched, there is constant improvisation. We are getting feedback from many devotees that is helping us improvise it. Will look into how to put together the feature you are asking for.
Anbudan,

Mr. R.Ravishankar sir, if you are related to Bramasri Vedapuri Sastrigal, tell him i am the second son of Sri Mani Sastrigal. I had enough meeting with Sri Vedapuri Mama, Whenever, where ever we meet he use to tell that
UMMACHI / PILLAIYAR instructed him to do 3 times Sashtanga Namaskarams to UMMACHI [ mahaperiyava]
on behalf of MANI SASTRIGAL along with Vedapuri mama’s Namaskarams.
Aiyan’s Leela for today…
I am watching Sri Anayampatti Ganesan’s daughter Smt. Meera’s interview(Kannappa Nayanar!!!).
while watching in parallel, I was going through the Sage of Kanchi FB Group. At one point, the mouse stopped the movement. It was Aiyan’s one of the eyes. the same time, I saw the following poem lines posted by some devotee…
இரு விழிகள் வினவும்! இரு விழிகள் அருளும் !
இருவிழியால் ஒருதரம் எனைப் பார்த்தால் போதும்!
ஒரு நோக்கு உடைக்கிறதே பல ஜன்ம வினைகள்!
ஒரு குருவும் இது போலக் கண்டதில்லை யாமே!
Really don’t know who is He…pleasantly thrilled how thematic He is…
Is He not with us anymore? Who can say ?
Sivaramanji,
My humble namaskarams at your feet. May Periyava shower His bountiful blessings
on you for ever !!!
Dear sir,
Namaskaram, Your service is incomparable, When did you start this and share your experience and how you got this ideas of this service to motivate us.
Dear Sivaraman Sir
What you have done is an extremely blessed task for generations to come. For people like me though lived During Mahaperiyavas’s time could not know enough about him and you have done a Divine service to millions of people in opening up the treasure of Mahaperiyavas’s life and grace through interviews with such blessed souls who were fortunate enough to come in cotact with Him. Words are not enough to thank you. May He bless you and your good work.
Dear Shivaraman,
Sri Periyava has chosen you to do this remarkable task of recording video experiences on the very first day HE asked you to bring Vegetables and fruits skins for Cows…
It was HIS grace that brought you to Sri SAR too as well.
I wish you should do a similar work for Sri Sivan SAR (devotees experiences and YPM book related matters on videos) soon. I prefer to give you about 30 minutes recording of information/experiences about Sri SAR and could do more also with HIS Blessings.
I admire the team effort put into this website in bringing in various information about Sri MahaPeriyava and Sri SAR.
Sir,
It is a great work indeed. Blessed are you. Still, thousands of people in this World are yet to open their mouth and share their divinely experience. One day or other they will definitely do so.
I personally feel, this is nothing short of reading Ramayana/Mahabharatha/Bhagavatham.
“MAHAPERIYAVA PURANAM” can be called another EPIC, is it not true?
If read with devotion, there exists SOLACE, agitated mind becoming calm, solution for almost all the problems we face, quest to read much more, a trace of confidence is poured in, be it in any field.
I am moved, full of tears and gratitude…
Namaskaram Sivaraman Sir,
Thank you very much for video taping the experiences of devotees. Until 6 months ago, I had no idea about Maha Periyava, although I had visited Kanchi madam about 15 years ago and have seen Periyava’s wax idol in the madam.
For the past 6 months I have been watching the “MahaPeriyava Experiences” videos in Youtube. My experiences after watching some of the devotees sharing their moments with MahaPeriyava are beyond comprehension.
I wanted to share my recent experience which re-emphasized the fact that although Periyava is not with us physically, he is still listening to us, guiding us and blessing us in aruvam form.
Recently I got married. Part of my wedding plan, I was thinking about keeping Maya Periyava’s picture in Kalyana medai as I felt like I want Periyava during my wedding. But in one of the Videos I heard the devotee saying Periyava does not like others to take his picture. So, I told myself.. “Since Periyava did not like pictures I will not keep his picture in the stage. But yet I will pray to him and meditate on him and plead for his blessings as I believe he is still living with us in aruvam form. If he wishes to show his physical form, somehow he will”. Then our wedding happened and we were getting ready to leave the Mandapam. One of our relatives, who was about to leave the mandapam, came running to us and gave two Periyava pendants saying, they did pooja with those pendants during Navarathri and he would like us to keep it with us! After I received Periyava’s pendant, I was so overwhelmed with joy and tears. I am sorry, I don’t know the exact words to describe my experience I had on that day. MahaPeriyava Charanam.
I am still continuing to learn a lot of things by watching the experiences video in Youtube. I also bought Theivathin Kural this time when I went to India.
Thank you so much sir for posting the videos and doing the great service!! Thanks a ton! May Periyava’s blessing be with you always.
Thank you Shri.sivaraman for the great service you are doing not only for us but for generations to come.
Everytime I watch a video I get a message for what is going on in my mind.. I keep watching Ramadurai mama’s interview and keep learning from it. To get a chance to hear such humble souls itself is a blessing.
Just curious ! Would love to hear about your interactions and experiences with Appa (Mahaperiyava). Can we have it please or is it already there?
May Appa bless you to continue this great service ! Appa Saranam
Aiyan and SAR will surely bless us with Sri Sivaraman Anna’s experiences.

I am Rajesh Krishnamoorthy , originally from Chennai (lineage – North Arcot) and currently based in Hong Kong.
Recently, I came across the multitude of Mahaperiyava experiences in Youtube; watching these videos is truly enriching. I have watched countless of those videos in the past 3 weeks and many more still to watch. It has been brought to common man’s reach by your genuine efforts. I have been attracted, to Mahaperiyava like iron will get attached to a magnet and the videos have been instrumental in igniting the devotion within me. Thanks to your humbling and diligent effort, I started exploring more about Mahaswami . The more I watch and read, the more I get attached. It brings peace to my mind, which wavers often thinking about various issues. I have developed a sincere devotion for Mahaperiyava, and I hold it like a bolster and look up to it.
This email is to convey my heartfelt thanks and gratitude to you and the Kanchi mutt. My wishes and namaskarams for spreading the teachings and devotions of Jagatguru . Let his blessings be upon us all.
Most Sincerely ,

Subsequently, I made the first pilgrimage to kanchipuram in Aug 2018, along with my wife and parents. Visit to thenampakkam, orikkai, the mutt & temples was very good. Sri Sailesh at thenampakkam guided us very well and the trust is being run wonderfully by His grace. It was a joyful and satisfying experience. To know that Mahaperiyava stayed often in thenampakkam at the very place gives me goosebumps. I certainly would like to visit again and experience the divine presence.
Hara hara Sankara Jaya jaya sankara! May his blessing be ever upon us.

Dear Mr. Sivaraman sir,
Namaskaram!
My name is Gowri Shankar. I started watching your videos some years ago when the subscribers were in the low 100s and now I see that it has grown to the thousands. Congratulations! I am one of those benefited by watching those videos. I shall remain indebted for your work. Thanks to you, I have had the good fortune of visiting Tenambakkam and the Shankara mutt in the last 2 weeks. Otherwise, I would have not even thought about it. I have also visited the Acharya’s a couple of times when they were camping in Chennai in the last few years. I feel very blessed to have had these opportunities. All.. Thanks to the videos.
With very great regards & respects
Thank you

Adiyen is Raghuram originally from Srirangam , currently residing in Dallas. please accept my humble pranams and heartfelt appreciation of the work you all have been doing in recording the many wonderful experiences of devotees with mahaperiyava . These videos and the experiences shared on the facebook page are a source of great inspiration and education. These videos , the narration of the experiences scores of devotees are a source of deep knowledge and inspiration for the extremely unqualified and ignorant bhakta’s like adiyen. Periyava must have given you the ability to create this new medium of education for the ignorant people like adiyen to serve as a leading light even after his mukthi.
The messages periyava continues to give via the devotee’s sharing of experiences such as the importance of following sandhyavandhanam , supporting vedabhyasam ,honesty and many more have been helping adiyen immensely. This in itself is a miracle and thank you for playing a role in that miracle.

Dear Sri Shivaraman,
Jaya Jaya Sankara
I was able to contact Dr. C. Sundararamamurti “Chandra” at the phone numbers that you gave me. We talked about his father and our neighbour Dr. Sivaramamurti from my years in New Delhi. Chandra shared with me a lot of information on the rigorous mantra sadhana that he’s been doing quite freely. I had the opportunity to meet his guru (late) Sri Narayana Sastrigal, a Sri Vidya Upasaka par excellence in Mambalam, Chennai in Dec. 2003. Thank you again for sharing the phone numbers. He does not have e mail.
It has been my daily practice for some years ever since by chance I “discovered” Sri Kamakshidasan’s interivew on Youtube to listen to a few experiences. Today I listened to Dr. Veezhinathan’s speech and interview. Again, I wish to extend my best wishes to you for the excellent service you have selflessly rendered to the devotees of Sri Mahaperiyava. In this sewa you have been a sthithapragnya patiently traveling and interviewing so many blessed souls for the single pointed objective of recording for posterity their direct experiences with one of our Dharma’s greatest Mahatmas in the 20th century. In this way you have not only enabled those living in Tamil Nadu but thousands of devotees like me living far away from India to know and to once again be in Remembrance of Paramacharya. In my own case, I have learnt so much from these blessed individuals and indeed to recall and reflect on my own darshanams with Paramacharya from many decades ago.
May Ambal Kamakshi be ever with you and give you strength to continue this task. It occurred to me that it was the asterism Anusham in India when we spoke. If you happen to visit the U.S, please think of us also.

As a 25 year old, after leaving home to pursue my Masters, I suddenly started to read about His Holiness for a couple of months and I feel very fortunate to stumble upon your channel in YouTube.
I cry a river whenever I hear any of the experiences of the fortunate devotees. I consider myself unlucky to not have seen Maha Periava during his lifetime on Earth.
Having carried ego and intellect all through my life(I feel I should completely be devoid of it, I don’t think I am there yet), a part of my tears is due to my ignorance all these days as I have failed to acknowledge His grace and mercy, in spite of the fact that my parents have been staunch followers. Thank you for the absolutely blissful compilations.
Mahaperiava Padhuka Charanam!
You are doing a great service to God , Sir by doing this.In this modern age I never imagined youtube like technology also could be a tool for reaching god.’Periyava Puranam’ has been ‘Periya Puranam’ to me – Though I have started to see these videos from 6 months back,this was the tool through which I went to MahaPeriyava.Thaai pola ennai thaduthaatkondu vittaar avar, avar illayel inru naan enna kathiyil iruppeno ! Uriya nerathil paramporul Guru uruvaai olirgiraan.Ithe pol periyava vai pattri Bharat Subramaniyan enbavar podum Videos um enaaku ‘Periya Puranam’.
engalukke arul seyyum Periyava ungalai
Sekkizhaar kku Nigaraga vaithu arul purivaar.
Going to Kanchipuram for Periyava Darshan at SriMatam is always a blessing.Today I felt very very happy for another reason.
Two upanayanam at SriMatam. Both are NRI families. Actually nothing special about NRIs in particular, but we all have at least one NRI family visiting our home every year. We all know their crazy schedule, me being a personal witness as well. Between scorching heat and jetlag, they juggle between parents and in-laws homes. Kula Deivam kovil is a must do. If we watch them closely, we would know they will need another vacation to relax from so called India vacation.
Despite all these , there are so many NRI families coming to Darshan at SriMatam. So many NRI upanayanam take place. Observing closely, we come to know that they have never seen Periyava nor did their family have any SriMatam connections.
Then , why do they whole heartedly yearn to come to SriMatam and do Upanayanam ? Everyone says the same thing.. those Periyava experience videos – Periyava Puranam.
This is a yeoman service and has to continue forever. Though there are many platforms bringing devotees to SriMatam, Periyava Puranam is unique and close to many devotees heart and is binding all devotees to SriMatam without any geographic boundaries. Without Periyava anugraham, it is not humanely possible.
It is a Peraanandham to witness this trend of devotees coming and being part of SriMatam.
May Periyava shower His blessings to this Periyava Puranam kainkaryam.

I have been listening to your YouTube videos on Mahaperiva.
I am going through a lot of personal problems and someone sent one video of you interviewing Vikku mama. From then on I started listening everyday .
I don’t know if you realise that Mahaperivas divine grace is being passed thru you.
Keep up the good work. I’m barely surviving with Mahaperivas blessings I will rise from the ashes and someday I will be able fund you so that the world can hear the miracles of.mahaperiva. Hara Hara Sankara Jaya Jaya sankara

I think you should continue taking the videos in the same pace as before so that these type of quality videos will be showered by dear Gurunaathal for the benefit of all.
Many say that when vidwans perform Saraswathi matha sits on their tounge and make them to speak… In my experience the same happens with you when u ask ur questions…
You only ask what is the best for that moment and situation…
since i edit only mostly ur videos, i have experienced this a lot of times

We got rarest opportunity to welcome Mahaperiyava padhuga at our home and personally spent good time with Shri Ganesha Sharma maama from the airport. I always wanted to have padhuga dharisanam and for my hidden prayers mahaperiyava granted kutti padhuga when we visited shri Suri Anna home in new Jersey 2017 nov. Been following your YouTube since 2013. I was very much interested to meet you here in Cincinnati and then got to know you are there in cleavland. My Appa told that he is hearing your voice on daily basis through your mahaperiyava experience videos. I just want to convey my thanks for all your efforts that you have been making to spread mahaperiyava movement via digital platform which brings huge benefits to devotee not only living now but also for future generations. Please let me know when you are free to talk for couple of mints.Ram Ram.
The number of times I have watched certain experiences videos of devotees that you have published is innumerable. Example Supni Mama’s Sivan Sar experience in parts. Makes me realise how small I am compared to such souls. Cha… What faith and trust to hold on to in this mad mad world. Sometimes I feel jealous mama. Why could I not experience anything first hand apdinu. But I also know I am not there yet. The work on the videos especially- I can’t tell you how much of a ‘ray of light’ you have been to so many strangers.
This life is so uncertain and not permanent and some people like you and a few more devote yourselves to the most important purpose of this existence like it is so easy and simple (although you have come across so many hurdles). Seriously, a big salute to your service.
Just felt like sharing my genuine respect and regards to your deeds of service

Hi Sivaraman anna
I cannot express my gratitude in words for all the great effort you have done in collecting the experiences of Mahapriyava’s devotees. Within a few weeks, I have turned from someone who hardly knew Mahaperiyava to someone who is yearning to know more and following MahaPeriyava’s advice. Your videos on the experience of Mahaperiyava bhaktas have helped me in identifying the guru and knowing his greatness.
I live outside the country and would like to know more about any efforts going on to save our Vedas and customs. I don’t know how I can be of help, but I truly believe speaking with you will help in this matter.
Thank you and deep gratitude.

Thanks is not the word to express my gratitude to you for all the interviews and videos . People like me who are ignorant/ have no knowledge about kanchi mutt and Periyava,, Your videos are a blessing to us. My connection with Periyava is nothing . Rather , i would say ,the understanding I had about mutt and Periyava is to get blessings for upanayanam and marriages by sending invitation to the mutt. That’s all.
Never got an opportunity to have darshan of Periyava in my life.
But am.blessed to have darshan of mahaPeriyava in my dream twice. As you always say in interviews, if Periyava comes in our dream, it is not a dream, but he is giving us darshan..
For the past 6 months have been watching all the videos uploaded in various YouTube channels about Periyava..
Also I came to know more about sivan SAR through your videos. Blesed are the souls who were closely associated with Periyava and Sivan SAR during their lifetime.
I need your guidance for the places to visit in and around Kanchipuram and also kumbakonam.. we are going to Kanchipuram on 18th.and also will be going to kumbakonam as swamimalai is our kuladeivam.
Yesterday I watched interview of Thiagu thatha experiences with sivan SAR. Sivan SAR came in my dream yesterday night and he offered food to my son from his small cup,.
We will.be staying in Chennai for couple of days . Also would like to visit kandanchavadi sivan SAR house
This trip we have planned exclusively places related to Periyava and Sivan SAR. Kindly guide us
dear all,
i am very new to this post. nowadays my ears are hearing about maha periyavar in dreams and real life. how to pray to maha periyavar.
Good Morning Sir,
Ever since I started watching the videos under Periyava Puranam, I used to wonder why you kept the name as Periyava Puranam.
Few days back I was watching Salem Ravi Sir’s interview and for some reason that declaration of Pradosha Mama as 64th Nayanmar stuck with me. I was thinking about it for quite sometime.
Yesterday I was hearing Vikku Vinayakram Sir video. One of his son was saying how Pradosha Mama’s assertion that Periyava is none other than Lord Shiva became true when Periyava declared him as 64th Nayanmar. After hearing that no wonder I thought why grouped all the bhaktas experiences as Periyava Puranam I was also deeply touched by Pradosha Mama’s bhakthi and humility
Jaya jaya sankara hara hara sankara. With maha periva blessings starting my new business today.
Everyday for the past 9 months since the lockdown started I have been listening to your recordings of Maha periyava experiences at least for one hour everyday. You have done truly a great wonderful job in giving to the world this unusual gift great gift of Maha periyava experience
So I remember you everyday
Mahaperiyavaa Sharanam*
