Dharma Moolam Introduction to Deivathin Kural

 

Sri. Ra. Ganapathy was blessed to receive Maha Periyava’s divine grace and remained close to Him absorbing the essence of His discourses and meetings with scholars and great many devotees. He is the author of the seven volumes of “Deivathin Kural” in Tamizh, an eternal treasure, compiled from the discourses and discussions of “Kanchi Maha Periyava”. The seven volumes were published over a period of twenty five years between 1975 and 2000.

 

 

We have made every effort to reproduce Acharya’s ideas from select chapters from Dheivathin Kural. Any perceived deviation is completely unintentional and regretted. Also, these are Acharya’s ideas as given in the particular chapter in the book and may not convey his ideas in entirety.

Introduction to Sanathana Dharmam and Vaidhika Dharmam,  2. Dharma and Society, 3. Dharma and Family,  4. Acharam and Aharam, 5. Guru Tattvam and 6. Sri Shankara Charitram.

Session Details
