Work Done

Mahaperiyava was a prominent spiritual leader in India who dedicated his life to the Advaita philosophy of his guru, Adi Shankaracharya. He travelled across India on a palanquin, giving discourses on diverse aspects of dharma, ancient culture, and a variety of subjects. His discourses were compiled and published in English and Tamil as &quot;Deivathin Kural&quot; (The Voice of God) and have been translated to other Indian languages. Mahaperiyava also renovated multiple temples across India and helped Vedic priests on their pronunciation of the holy Sanskrit texts. He made radical social changes by allowing devotees inside the temple premises and had a significant influence on the Indian Freedom Movement, re-converting Indian National Congress leader F. G. Natesa Iyer from Christianity to Hinduism. Iyer played a significant role in arranging a grand reception for Mahaperiyava in Tiruchirappalli, which was attended by people from all walks of life, irrespective of their religion, caste or creed.
