Unheard anecdote.When Jagadguru Jayendra periyava was upset with uncontrollable religious conversion he witnessed in odisha in early 1980s,he wanted to dedicate himself fully to stop it by relinquishing headship of Matham&concentrate on consolidating Hindu unity.

But Mahaperiyava brought him again to Matham & told him. Whatever happens around us will happen due to various reasons. We

Being a Sankaracharya in @KanchiMatham is not a showy position but tremendous responsibilities. He needs to perform 3kala puja lasting for 6-7hrs everyday besides looking after the adminstrn of the organztn. Needs to give patient hearing to all devotees &offer dharmik solutions.

When Jagadguru Sri.Jayendra Saraswathi Sankaracharya Swamigal was arrested in 2004, he was kept in Vellore Jail. Strict restrictions were laid by Govt for his visitors & many were denied permission to visit Acharya.
One morning Dr.SSB came to jail& waited for 2hrs for permission Image To meet Acharya. He got it at last &was with Achaya for 1hr&came out. I asked him how did he feel then?
Many of devotees had changed their ideas on Acharya influenced by the Govts version. But Dr had unflinching faith on Acharya & said "My Guru couldn't be a wrong doer as I know

Kind attn Veda abhimanis! Swargiya R.Sankaranarayana Srautin (1923-1994) was a great scholar of repute both in Samaveda's kauthuma sakha, Vedabhashyam & Drāhyāyayana Srauta sutram attached w that Sakha. He learnt Samaveda from his father&elder brother in Tiruvanaikkaval in his Childhood & later qualified to be a Hindi teacher also due to poor patronage for Vedaadhyayins then. He taught Hindi in E.R.High school in Trichy for few years. Kanchi Mahaperiyava called him to matham & made him addhyapaka in matham's vedapatasala. Later he got a call from TTD.

Before heading towards KA&MH thru AP in 1978 by pādayātra, Mahaperiyava in 1977 started Shāstra Vākyārtha Sadas&held it every Guruvaram at 16pillar mandapam located inside Varadarajar temple in Vishnu Kanchi. 4-5 scholars used to participate regularly. It grew slowly. In 1993&95 It touched 30+ Vidvans of high quality headed by MM.SRK Sastrigal, Goda Subrahmanya Sastrigal,Sriperumpudur Sastrigal etc. All were doyens in all Shāstras.
You may find names of Prof K.E.Devanathacharya, Devadutta patil, myself&several other scholars.

आचार्य डॉ. रघुवीर के निवासस्थान को एक अद्भुत वस्तुसंग्रहालय कहना होगा । उन्होंने एक बार समय निकालकर श्रीगुरुजी गोलवलकर को अपना संपूर्ण संग्रह दिखाया। घंटे-डेढ घंटे तक वे एक-एक वस्तु दिखाते रहे और श्रीगुरुजी अपना आश्चर्ययुक्त अभिप्राय व्यक्त करते रहे।
संग्रह देखने के बाद श्रीगुरुजी ने कहा, 'आपने अपने अकेले के बलबूते इतना विशाल सांस्कृतिक कार्य किया है किंतु सरकार को इसका जितना महत्त्व प्रतीत होना चाहिए उतना उसे प्रतीत नहीं होता।

Aippasi pournami is a day when in all Sivalayas, abhishekam with cooked rice will occur to Lord Siva. After pooja, the Annam will be removed & offered to aquatic creatures like fishes living in water bodies.
Jagadguru Acharya swamigal explains this in this audio message. In 1985-86 Mahaperiyava brought Ganga jalam from trivenisangamam, Prayagraj, U.P in 100+ copper cans & sent them to Gangaikondachozhapuram.
Also ordered BHEL, Trichy to manufacture big boilers to cook rice in several 100bags (100+ மூட்டைகள்) for this annabhishekam purpose.
