Maha Periyavaa Jagat Guru ashtaka stotram

Maha Periyavaa  Jagat Guru   ashtaka  stotram

Translated by
P.R.Ramachander

( Jagatguru Swami Chandra Shekara Saraswathi who was the  previous Peedathipathi of Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam     was a living God to his devotees and continues to be even after Samadhi. All his devotees in a hushed tone  full of devotoion refer to him as  “MahaPeriyvaa” meaning  the “very , very great   one”. I got this stotra written in tamil from http://mahaperiyavaa.wordpress.com/2014/       )

To those who   remember the great Guru.
