Sri Maha Periva Ashtottara – Shata - Naamaavali series
Naama 34 - Gurumandalasambhaavyavidehaaya Namo Namah
गुरु मण्डल, सम्भाव्य, विदेहाय, नमो नमः
Split as :- Guru Mandala Sambhaavya Videhaaya Namo Namah
Meaning:
Our Vandanams to the Renuciate (Videhaaya) held in honor (Sambhhaavya) by Guru Mandala (Body of respected elders or Learned people)
Commentary:
Maha Periva was held in high esteem by contemporary Scholars, Gurus, Respectable people across the world and other Jeevan Mukthaas. Even where HE was not known before, HIS conduct, compelled them to Honor him. Given below, is one such instance for a more appropriate understanding of this naama.
“Bhoomi - the Samasthaanam” (Equality on the ground)
In 1966, while Periva was camping in Elavur, a conference (Mahaanaadu) of Mathaadhipathi’s was to be held in the Office of Commissioner of the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department. As per the Government Order, a Ranking List was prepared and seats of different types accordingly were arranged in the Conference Hall and the name of the Mathams, were also written on them.
For the starting event of the Mahaanaadu, Mathaadhipathi’s from various Mathams along with Periva came one by one to partake in the event. Periva made a survey of the arrangements in the hall with an all-round glance. With a smile crawling on his face, He walked towards the seat allotted for him. All the other Mathaadhipathi’s too walked towards their seats.
Like one who gets into a pond to take bath would part away with his two hands, the moss that covered the water surface, and like one who would gently dust the floor with his upper cloth before he sits there, Mahaa Perivaa, with His hands, pushed back the seat allotted for him by the government officials, and sat on the floor at that spot.
The next moment, all the other Mathaadhipathi’s , without sitting on the seats provided for them, sat on the floor of the conference hall. The Bhoomi (Ground), became the Sama-sthaanam—(seat of equality), for everyone. What to speak of the wonder, that Periva 'the Jnaanamoorty, who stood beyond the book of Vedas', through his foresight and subtle knowledge, demonstrated the great truth, "Param-Porrull (Brahmam), is only one. So what superiority/inferiority is there, for us, who live on this earth because of our wealth, or kulam-lineage? All of us, are of one Kulam (species).
Other information:
We pray to the Videhamuktha Maha Periva honoured by the greatest of souls at that time, to bless us remove the Avidyaa in us and take us to Jeevanmukthi.

Sri Maha Periva Ashtottara – Shata - Naamaavali series
Naama 33 - Gobraahmanahitaasaktamaanasaaya Namo Namah
गो ब्राह्मण, हितासक्त, मानसाय, नमो नमः
Split as :- Go Braahmana Hitaa-sakta Maanasaaya Namo Namah
Meaning:
Our Vandanams to HIM, who always had the welfare of the Cows and Brahmins in mind.
Commentary:
The Vedic rituals for the welfare of the universe has an important utterance viz., “गोब्राह्मणेभ्यः शुभमस्तु नित्यम् “ – “Gobrahmanebhyah Subhamastu Nityam, “May cows and brahmanas be always happy and peaceful”. Periva followed it meticulously.
Although cow is worshipped in India, and is largest in number in the world, they are not taken proper care of by supplying them with adequate fodder. This has resulted in the milk yield per cow which is one of the lowest in the world.
Periva observed that one easy method of providing fodder for the cows without any cost is for housewives, hotel-keepers, and hostel authorities, to carefully preserve every day, in a neat and hygienic place all their kitchen garbage, such as wastage from plantain leaves, skins of all fruits and vegetables, the water after washing rice, and the kanji. The cow owners could come on rounds and collect such huge fodders which would resulting in the augmentation of the cattle wealth of the country and obtain all untold merit by the performance of this holy duty.
Periva said the Brahmin community, which is ordained by the Shastraas to ensure Dharma and protection of the Vedas, need to adhere to their Anushtaanams uncompromisingly. To ensure that this unique task is carried out without breaking the thread, this has to be in the family lineage although other communities can certainly adhere to the requirements of Vedas in addition. Periva encouraged the stabilization of existing Veda Paathashaalas and revived the depleting branches of the Vedas.
We can see an instance where Periva highlighted the benefit of feeding grass to the Cow and also the importance of taking care of the cow’s needs.
A wealthy devotee once sent his friend by his car to attend to his work, on his behalf. Unfortunately, the man left for the further-most destination. Unfortunately, the car in which he was travelling met with an accident on the way, was damaged beyond repair and the friend departed to Shiva-loka. There was no end to the devotee's sorrow. His remorse that a family was deprived of its head because of him, did not leave him in peace at all. He helped the family with a large sum of money. But, that hardly compensated for the irreversible loss. The devotee, was now frightened and upset, that, he would have to bear the sin of the death of a Brahmin.
He approached Maha Periva for guidance. Periva listened to him patiently and observed that,
"The car accident happened by the divine ordination. You are not guilty of any destructive thought. Somehow, your mind is now burdened with unease. Besides, you are also at the receiving end of the society's accusation. First of all, go and take a holy dip in the Sethu (Rameswaram). Get up before sunrise and offer grass to cows that you may find strolling down the streets. Seek the darshan of Shiva every day and contain yourself to taking one meal a day. Circumambulate the Siva temple as many times as it is possible for you to. Do this and you will be rid of the charges of guilt".
The devotee however, said that he could do everything but could not offer grass to cows since he lives in city where cows are not to be found in the streets in the morning". Periva replied, "So what? Surely there is a Go-Shaala. You have a car. Get up at five. Go by car to the Go-Shaala and offer grass to all the cows there".The devotee was fully consoled, his remorse giving way to peace and the cows got grass.
Other information:
Let us pay close attention to the instructions of Sri Maha Periva and work unitedly for the protection of Go Maataa and ensure full support to the Brahmin community so they can carry out their anushtaanams and promote the Vedic Culture for the benefit of mankind at large.

Sri Maha Periva Ashtottara – Shata - Naamaavali series
Naama 32 - Kvachin Mahaajanaateevadushpraapaaya Namo Namah
क्वचिन्, महाजना-तीव, दुष्प्रापाय, नमो नमः
Split as :- Kvachin Mahaajanaa-teeva, Dush-Praapaaya Namo Namah
Meaning:
Our Vandanams to Him, who (sometimes) is not obtainable by some People of High Standing.
Commentary:
“Mahaajana” in the above refers to people of high stature in social status due to various reasons like position, power and knowledge to name a few. “Dush-praaypya” means – Not achievable.
While Maha Periva was available easily to even children, HE is sometimes not available for people of very high stature. The external status is not important to Periva as is their internal being. This is as said in Lalitha Sahasranamam about Devi viz., Antarmukha Samaaraadhya, Bahirmukha Sudurlabhaa अन्तर्मुख समाराध्या, बहिर्मुख सुदुर्लभा Devi is easily obtainable for those whose worship is based on their mind turned inwards, and She is difficult to be obtained by those who are outward focused".
Experience with Periva - I will get you Periva’s Darshan easily
Shri TV Swaminathan, an IAS Officer and Chairman of the Rubber Board stationed at Delhi, was a great devotee of Maha Periva, was involved in various activities of the Kanchi Matham and was in constant touch with Periva and travelling often to meet him. One of his colleagues, wanted to have the Darshan of Maha Periva and approached Shri Swaminathan who assured him, “Oh this is too easy. Just do not bother. Next time you come with me. I will get your Periva’s Darshan easily. Till you want, I will get you his Darshan.”
So, the next trip, they were together, Shri Swaminathan planned their itinerary meticulously whereby they were to reach Kanchipuram by 8.0O AM, have darshan of Perivaa at about 10 am, have discussion with him for 2 hours, have lunch and leave on time to reach Chennai by 5 pm to catch the train there. Accordingly, they went to Teynambakkam to find an eerie silence. Periva was not there, They said that Periva had gone to the Kanchi Matham. But when they went there, Periva was not there too. The Matham people were expecting him, but had not come. Since time was running out, they searched Keezahambu and then Kailaasanaadhar Koil, Upanishad Matham etc. They were not able to find him anywhere. Shri Swaminathan was totally embarrassed before his colleague, for, he had haughtily assured of getting easy darshan of Periva.
Finally sweating, tired, feeling totally humiliated and reconciled to not getting the Darshan of Periva, Shri Swaminathan agreed to take the colleague for Lunch at Raamaa Café and reach him to Chennai on time to catch the train. Suddenly, there was some crowd around Kumarakotam and there Periva is coming with the Rikshaw. The first question from Periva to Shri Swaminathan was “Did you have to roam too much to find me?”. Thus, Periva would not look at the status of the person but only his true merit to give His Darshan.
Other information:
We are fully aware, that Periva looks at the inner heart of a true devotee and not the external status or show of Bhakti. Let us pray with humility to Maha Periva for His anugraham and seek His blessings to always be immersed in His bhakti.
