Thanks Ambi for the share. Looks like this came back in 70s – I am guessing. Periyava gives a beautiful blueprint of how to lay the foundation for next generations. I still remember several of His upadesams were followed in my place where I grew up. In today’s situation, while money is not the issue to build a temple or school etc, getting the next generation early in their life to adopt to these is the huge challenge – applies to vedapatasala also. I still remember few years back Sri (Bala)Periyava was telling someone that “Patasala irukku ….kuzhandhaikalthaan illa”.

Let us pray Lord Dakshniamurthy to bless us all to get back to our roots.
