On this Day 10th March 2016,

Being the Golden Jubilee of Pidi Arisi Thittam
We offer our Report on
MAHA PIDI ARISI THITTAM
(Scheme for Providing Akshathai to Vedic Patasalas & Vedic Scholars)
at the Lotus Feet of
Sri. Mahaperiyavaa,
Sri Jayendra Saraswathi Swamigal,
Sri. Sankara Vijayendra Saraswathi Swamigal
&
Sri. Pradhosham Periyavaa



Sadashiva Samarambham Shankaracharya Madhyamam
Asmad Acharya Paryantam Vande Guru Paramparam
Beginning with Sadashiva, through Adi Shankaracharya in between and upto
my own preceptor
I bow with reverence to the entire tradition of preceptors

With salutations to Adhi Guru and all Gurus who have come in the Guru Parampara, it is
our inherent duty to safeguard this Vedic heritage.

MAHASWAMIGAL MY WORK
You shower gold on me, you observe elaborately the festival to mark my ascension to
the Peetha. Out of your affection you are taking pleasure in this activity. For this
purpose, you elect committees, work day and night and make collections. But how can
this shower of gold be a permanent feature for the Mutt, for all future Acharyas? If
there is no Veda, where is the need for the Mutt or for a Pontiff? Therefore, I ask you
to direct this enthusiasm (in arranging, showering gold (Kanaka Abhishekam) the
festival to mark the ascension to Peetha) by doing everything necessary for the
preservation of Vedas, form committees, frame rules and arrange for funds for achieving
this objective. It does not matter, if the preservation of Vedas cannot establish a living
for life today, but your work will certainly go down in the annals of history as a lifelong
service for the generations to come. Under the auspices of a cooperative movement,
from village to village, please start classes to impart one hour daily the Adhyayana of
Veda Mantras and their application in life, to boys commencing from their eighth year,
for ten years. This is the real shower of gold for me, festival etc. Nothing is
possible without hard work. I have therefore taken up the subject of Veda. Have I not
come here mainly for this purpose? Still can I abruptly start talking about my
mission? After you, who take considerable pleasure in welcoming me, finish your work, I
can talk to you about my work. Preservation of the Vedas is that work.
Preservation of the Vedas is that work Sri Sri Sri Mahaswamigal

ORU PIDI ARISI THITTAM 10TH March. 1966

On 10th March 1966, Kanchi Periyava Sri Chandrasekarendra Saraswathi started The "Pidi
Arisi Thittam".
This is a scheme where every household sets apart just a handful of rice every day and this
will be collected by a central agency once a week, cooked in some temples and offered as
neivedya to the deity and then distributed to the poor and needy.

MAHA PIDI ARISI THITTAM

With the Blessing from Kanchi Acharyaas and Pradhosham Periyavaa we initiated a
scheme called Maha Pidi Arisi Thittam whereby we are implementing the Pidi Arisi
Thittam and at the same time contributing our bit towards Veda Rakshanam. Under the
Scheme we wanted to offer INR 1000/- monthly to
Veda Patasalas or to Vedic Scholars who are having
Gurukulam and following the Niyama Athyayanam.

We started collecting the Vedic Patasalas details like,

Name, Address, Contact Person, Contact Names, Bank Details etc. We approached likeminded people who are willing to offer INR 1000/- monthly towards this Noble cause. We
started allocating the Patasalas/ Vedic Scholars to each of the Donors.
We have as of today contributing to nearly 100 plus Patasalas and Vedic Scholars who are
being provided monthly INR 1000/- towards Akshathai. The payment was made by the
Donors to the Bank Accounts of the Patasala/ Vedic Scholars themselves. The frequency was
monthly, quarterly or yearly as per the convenience of the Donors. The Donors are spread
all over the world starting from United States of America, United Kingdom, Middle East,
Gulf, India, Singapore, Australia and New Zeleand.
We seek their anugrahams in furthering this Mission to reach more Patasalas and Vedic
Scholars.
Pranams,
MAHAPERIYAVAA DEVOTEES
