Thought for the day
In the Hindu way of life, one observes that one benefits from
routine activity undertaken at different times during the day.
This activity may be physical as well as mental where something
familiar is recalled every day. Keeping routines help in maintaining
a healthy attitude towards life. Interacting with others who also
maintain routines always leads to pleasurable experiences.
In this context, we present below something one can look forward to
on a daily basis. It goes without saying that this would be related to
Deivathin Kural and of course Maha Periyava.

Periyava image for the day
Each time this page is loaded, one photo of Maha Periyava in the
company of devotees will
be seen below. The context in which the photo was taken may also
get shown for the benefit of those who may be curious to know the
same. From hundreds of photos preserved and made available by
many devotees, we have selected at random one image, from
a list of about 100 where the photos have clarity in detail.
Some rare photos have been enhanced electronically to merit
inclusion in the list on account of their importance.
Seeing the image will be a
rewarding experience for the viewer because one will be able to
infer much about what the Acharya stood and lived for to preserve
Sanathana Dharma. His life should inspire all of us to do our bit to
see that knowledge about our tradition and values does not
disappear with the current aging generation.
Periyava on the move in his Mena. Undated photo. Details, if available, will help.

A thought for the day
You may also want to contemplate on the image above to
imbibe the spirit of "Sanathana Dharma" from the teachings
of the great Acharya Adi Shankara, which Maha Periyava had extensively
dealt with in his discourses.
The text in the image is in the Grantha Script which Maha
Periyava was keen on being preserved. We have a
separate page devoted
to the discussion of this script along with a tutorial to learn the same.
Devotees who are computer savvy will be pleased to know that a text editor
which allows data entry in the script is also availble as part of the
Multilingual Software
created at IIT Madras.
