Namaskaram Swami!
Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha!!!
Adiyen had the baagyam to listen to one of Swami’s upanyasams “Kelviyum Badhilum” recently. In that, Swami had encouraged everybody to try and learn Bhagavad Gita, at least by starting with the 32 important shlokas initially. Swami Thiruvadigalil Charanam: “Is it possible to know what those 32 shlokas are Swami?”
Azhwar, Emberumanar, Jeeyar Thiruvadigale Charanam!
