"The Sage of Kanchi" is a biographical documentary in English on the life of Sri Chandrashekarendra Saraswathi, the 68th Shankaracharya of the Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam. It takes you on a spiritual journey and portrays the life and times of the Maha Periyaval of Kanchi, referred to as Paramacharya by his disciples and followers. The video captures the 100 years of life of this great spiritual head, his immense contribution to the national and spiritual fabric of India, and to the 2,500 year old institution established by Sri Adi Shankara at Kanchipuram.

The videos about my highly reverred & respected Swamiji cannot be forgotten by me easily, as I had witnessed the Gold coin abishekam ceremony to Kanchi Periyaval way back in 1993. Many Many thanks to India Divine.org.
To me, Sri Maha Periaval is none other than Lord Shiva himself. I am happy to receive this mail. There are devotes from all walks of life, including die-hard Vaishnavites who could not look away from the divine presence of Periyaval, who embraced one and all. I lived in Kanchipuram, and I know I'm telling the truth. By the same stretch, let me also emphasize here that the two latter Gurus, who were personally chosen by him, could in no way have committed any of the alleged wrongdoings that the State and media portrayed with such kill joy.
Congratulations on being a part of time that let you have darshan of such great people. However please remember that you are in secular India, in which being Hindu and especially a Brahmin means you are fit for ethnic cleansing.
very true i do agree Mahaperivaa is God For those who go insearch of GOD I can vouch that I have seen GOD my only Shri Shri Shri PARAMARCHARYA......Guru like this has selected Jayendera Swamigal and Vijaydendra Swamigal...won,t go go wrong at all....
"The Sage of Kanchi" Sri Chandrashekarendra Saraswathi,is divine incarnate of Vishnu.He has left indelible impressions of great tradition, culture of Hinduism.Every true Indian must follow his footsteps with reverence, and practice what he has preached.
I've never seen a documentary on Srimat bhagavat sri kanchikamokoti peetadipati sri sri sri chandrashekara saraswathi. It was excellent and i was very impressed and personified by his spiritual approach.

No words are enough to express the greatness of our Sri Paramacharyal ! May God bless us enough vairaghya to follow his teachings.I thank God for blessing me to have the Darshan of Sri Parmacharyal & his personal blessings at MahGaon, in 1983 and I cherish the moments till today and it is the Noble prize of my life. Hari Om ! chandar-dubai
This is Sivananda Muthuraman, disciple of H.H. Sri Swami Sivanandaji Maharaj of 18th Century, given the rating as EXCELLENT, since no other highest rating words I could find in your rating column.
In our life time (I am now aged 64 Yrs) we have heard and read about Sapta Rishies, Munies, Sages & Saints. But I am very much blessed to be born and living during his life time, and had the close Darshan & spoke with him in person.
A glimpse of his eye vision fall on us is
enough to get rid off our untold sufferings.
this is an excellent presentation to the new generation and pepole come to know about HIS contribution during frameing of the CONSTITUTION & crisis times sai ram
we are blessed to be born during the mahaperiyaval's period. Video has come at the right time -excellent. Please do send more about the acharya and his teachings.
A true saint of greatness beyond description. The story of His life is moving and ennobling. I am sure he lives to bless us all. Thanks for bringing out this video.
Sir, Most of our family is indebted to mahaperiyaval. If you have some photos were he is laughing loud please if you email me it would be excellent.

It is a great blessing of watching this video of a sacred mahatma. It is a moving and engrosing time watching his life story. All the religions should amalgamate for the ever lasting peace of mankind, and realisation of inner self only to unite with paramathma
Really its a great documentary and of rare. I have read two books on paramaacharyar and i was lucky to see him once or twice in kanchipuram.
I submit that its extroordinary. Iam excited.
Very nice videos. I'm a blind follower of Lord Sree Krishna. I don't have any material opulence as you all Shivait's do. Can anyone answer as to what will happen as one dies and leaves his/her body? People curse as they don't want to die. But, still one has to accept death. Could followers of Lord Shiva conquer death? Please advise.
Shiva and Krishna are one and the same... under stand this first. Dont be a blind follower of Krishna...Was SANKARACHARYA blind follower of SHIVA or KRISHNA...
A wonderful co-incidence again. In 1984, a friend of mine presented me a Book about the life of Sri Maha Periyaval. Yesterday it so happened with no particular reason to take out that book and went through it. The person who had presented this book to me had not seen or spoken to me till yesterday, phoned me up after having got my number through some means. I was terribly astonished by this incidence. Yet your mail to me and again HIS darshan. Why? for what reason? with limited intelligence I could not figure out. Thank you and my pranams to all your team members.
well..... before a social worker ....a divine leader cannot boast Himself as has changed society
When alive, parammaacharya had his own reservations against non brahmins.Still His descendents disciples hold so
but now all on a sudden He is potrayed as a xavier
In His mutt at kancheepuram ( why they fleed from Kumbakonam is yet to be answered ) only brahmins have access at the cost of popularising by non brahmins
The institutio0n run by this mutt does have untouchability practised in college
so bring out the truth

Did you read the full article and watch (and listened) to the videos?
Have you gone to the mutt?
Have you read his teaching in the form of the book series 'Deivathin Kural'?
I am sure the answer for all the above is NO.

Though i am not blessed to see him in person. But he has cast a divinity in me which cannot be explained. Still he creates wonders in my life just if i see and pray with him in full passion. Experience it.
The great sage of Kanchi was a Yuga purusha who during his life times strived hard to resuscitate Hindu dharma by asking Brahmins to reject western values and make their wards adopt Hindu way of life.As one with close connections with the Mutt even now, I can only say that we really need to demonstrate that we should stand by the traditional peetas like Kanchi,Sringeri etc to usher in a hindu resurgence.People also have to correct the views that the Shankra mutts or any other Mutts are only for Brahmins.They are Jagadgurus for the entire humanity and the allegations against the present Acharyas are all foisted as now being proved by the trial in the court
