SwAmi?s lowkikA skills

Even though swAmi very much lived a life of a parama
vaidhikA, swAmi had great skills in lowkikA as well.
Since the time swAmi started rendering upanyAsams, He
would never attend others? upanyAsams. Wherever swAmi
had to go for rendering upanyAsams, He would see to it
that he will be there just in time. He would never go
early and wait for people to come. He would always go
to these places by car. The other great aspect of
swAmi?s quality is that he would never disperse His
radiant brilliance in front of disparaging people. A
lot of crowd used to throng swAmi?s upanyAsams.
SwAmi?s thiruppAvai upanyAsams in particular had wide
following equally amongst men and women folks. SwAmi
received invitations to render upanyAsams in various
sabhAs and He generously obliged to quench the
spiritual thirst of Asthika prapannAs by having
upanyAsams in all the places where He was called.

Without fail, swAmi?s upanyAsam would happen everyday
in the morning at Basullah road samAj. On Sunday
evenings( from 4 pm onwards), swAmi used to give
lectures in sabhAs located in Mowbrays road and
Ambatthur. For travel convenience, swAmi procured a
car. Comforts grew as the time passed by.

With the help of Kumkumam VaradAchAr swAmi, swAmi
bought a house (located in Baroda street) and
performed gruha pravEsam. In 1950, swAmi?s whole
family relocated from Thirukkudanthai to chennai.

SwAmi?s rahasya thraya sAram lectures used to be held
regularly at Egmore sAkEtha
nilayam,ChindhadhirippEttai,lakshmipuram either
everyday or on Sundays. In between, swAmi used to
regularly visit Srirangam and perform kainkaryam at
the periAsramam.

Whenever swAmi went out of town (away from chennai),
He would always adhere to His austere nithyAnushtAnams
and wherever He travelled across length and breadth of
the country, He spread our vishishtAdvaita siddhantA
and earned a lot of goodwill and wide followers of our
faith. During those times, ?Veecumsee? Sri.
P.V.RajagopAlAchAr swAmi was immensely helpful to His
family and took care of them to great extent.

As a parent, SwAmi performed his duties very well by
giving good education to his children and led his
gruhAstAsrama in a blessed manner. SwAmi bought a new
house in Unnamalai Amman street ( in kOdambAkkam). But
swAmi got so much attached to his house in Baroda
street that it became very diffucult for Him to make
up his mind and move to His new house as swAmi always
used to say that yamA wouldn?t dare to enter his
house.

His Acharya Bhakti which was so deep rooted in his
heart prompted him to visit Srirangam several times to
seek the blessings of Srimath Thembarai Andavan.
Srimath Thembarai Andavan seeing his Acharya bhakthi
not only ordained him to look after the administration
affairs of the Asramam ( by appointing him as Sri
kAryam of the Asramam) but also commanded Him to stay
permanently in Srirangam. Kannan swAmi organized the
160th mahOstavam of Srimath periAndavan in a grand
manner and carried out holy orders of Srimath
Thembarai Andavan as per His wishes. Sri. Chitrakootam
VijayarAghavAchAriar swAmi was with swAmi and helped
him a lot in performing his responsibilities.
