Homage to Prof N Veezhinathan - A Legacy of Wisdom and Scholarly Journey

An event to pay homage to Prof. N. Veezhinathan was held at IIT Madras. Prof. N. Veezhinathan was a pillar of knowledge, a renowned Sanskrit scholar, and a guiding light for his students and all those who knew him. For 33 years (1964-1997), he led the Department of Sanskrit at Madras University, Chennai, India.
His leadership steered the department to new heights and established a strong foundation of academic excellence.
He was closely associated with Kanchi Mutt and Sri Chandrasekarendra Saraswati, fondly called Maha Periyava by his disciples.
The event was presided over by the Honourable Governor of Tamil Nadu, Shri R. N. Ravi.
Prof. V. Kamakoti, son of Prof. N. Veezhinathan, organized this event to pay homage to this great scholar of par excellence.
Prof V. Kamakoti Son of Prof. N. Veezhinathan organised this event to pay Homage this great scholar of par excellence.

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Prof Veezhinathan is the ONLY personality whom I have seen so far who spoke only on "the Philosophical dimension of Kanchi Mahaperiyava" when most of the other speakers failed to visualise this aspect of Mahaperiyava(viz. others speak only on worldly issues not about the lessons learnt towards Self realisation) - we have to keenly notice: "when majority were/are going to Mahaperiyava for getting their worldly benifits achieved Prof. Veezhinathan was walking totally in a different direction as directed by Mahaperiyava". Prof Veezhinathan seems to have fully assimilated Mahaperiyava in himself - even when he pronounces the slokas, I have observed, he pronounces exactly like Mahaperiyava! Prof Veezhinathan is really a Great personality! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Rare are these Gems who go unsung in Tamilnadu. Pranams to the great Scholar, blessed by the great Paramaacaarya. It is befitting and great to see Shri.TNRavi Sir, Governor Tamilnadu always there to take part of in such occasions and endorse such greats' contributions. Thanks to all who arranged the Function.

Professor Veezhinathan was a symbol of Vedic scholarship and wisdom. For all his attainments, he was very simple and modest. He was a guru par excellence. I have listened to a number of his lectures. I was associated with him in many areas in the University asignments. He treated all his younger colleages with respect. He made me the Editor of Voice of Sankara for a couple of years. I had to give it up when I moved away from Chennai. In his sad demise, we have lost a profound scholar, a genial elder colleague and a perfect human being.

Admirable speech by Hon. Governor. Sir. Prof. Veezhinathan 's high thinking and simple living is a wonderful example of true knowledge.

Prof Veezhinathan mama's speeches abt his experiences with MahaPeriyava are very inspiring and would clearly showcase how mama enjoyed being blissfully elevated by Periyava. He lived his life as prescribed by Periyava. Mama Periyavala poornama Anubhavichurukka. Such a noble soul, specially chosen by Periyava to be HIS devotee, student. Mama being one of the noblest souls had the privilege of receiving Periyava's abundant Grace all through his life. His son Prof. Kamakoti Vizheenathan ,has imbibed his fathers qualities of modesty, unconditional bhakthi, utmost humility, again with the Grace of MahaPeriyava. Seek blessings and Grace.
