Sri P.R.Ramachander is a name that we can’t miss if we have read stotras online….He has done translation of 100s or even 1000s of Sanskrit slokas to English.
It was ten years back that I completed the translation of the great book “Samksepa Dharma Sasthras” compiled as per wishes of Maha Periyava by Manjakudi Venkatrama SAtrigal, with help of Sri E,S,Ramamurthy Sastrigal and Sri.S.M.Krishna Sarma .
This book was pubished in 1985 and sold at the cost of 50 paise By Heritage India Educational trust , Sanskrit college, Mylapore Madras .Maha Periyava wanted it to be clearly mentioned in the book , that since this book should reach every Brahmin’s home, no copy right should be there.The second edition of the book was published in 2007.
It was in 2009 that my scholarly and elderly friend Sri.P.P.Ramachandran(People call him PPR) wanted me to translate in to English.I thought that it was an order from Maha Periyava and did it to the best of my ability and created a web site for that.
Here is the link to more details about him.
P.S – I wonder if Sri Sridharan mama of Tiruvanmiyur had been contacted to cover his experience with Mahaperiyava. His service to our sanatana dharma community particularly to Tamil readers is monumental.

Theses are followed by a sort of appendix entitled
SAmkshepa Dharma sasthra Samkeerna Vishaya.(Miscellaneous important aspects ) https://brahminrituals.blogspot.com/…/samkshepa-dharma-shas…
I do not know among all the great scholars why I was chosen by HIM to do this job.The fact that no one else has done it and that it has become a reference book on rituals of all Brahmins, goes to show that “The blessings of Maha Periyava” is with me.
Our namaskaram to mama for his yeoman service to sanatana dharma.
