Hello all,
We need to do our father in laws 1st devasam in Bangalore in July 2024, please recommend any knowledgeable vathiyar who can speak Tamil and is familiar with Tamil iyer customs
Jai Shri Ram.
Shri.Ganeshan Iyer Vadiyar, Bangalore. His numbers are:
+91 96117 02352 & +91 63605 64119
He is an elderly Sasttigal and he is very humble, polite, accomodate and above all almost punctual. Though I am a Sri-vaishnava Iyengar from TN, I request him to come and do some functions at my home, because I am of the belief that the Veda & Shradda are more important for vedic rituals than sampradaya, though it should not be alienated, and we should engage and encourage lesser rich / poor (financially) Vedic Vadiyaars / Sasttigal.
Anyways, these are individual's options.
Yes, he can speak very well Tamil & Kannada.
You may contact him, discuss with him and decide. As far as 'Knowledge parameter' is concerned, I can not and do not evaluate any Vedic person's knowledge because I am not an authority. However, I am a qualified Sanskrit person, teaching (Nishulka) for four years Sanskrit, explaining Veda, Vedanga, Dharma sastras to a very dedicated & punctual seekers. In fact, I am a retired R&D Nuclear Scientist and ex-D Regional Director, Government of India. Nothing gives more contentment than Vedic practices. बहवः धन्यवादाः। शुभं भूयात्।
