Bhashyam Appalacharya

Sriman Sribhashyam Appalacharyulu (Telugu: శ్రీభాష్యం అప్పలాచార్యులు) (April 6, 1922 – June 7, 2003) was a Vedic scholar, commentator and a great teacher.
Early life

He was born to Srinivasacharyulu and Thiruvengalamma on April 6, 1922 on the auspicious day of Sri Ramanavami in Padmanabham, Visakhapatnam district, Andhra Pradesh. His birth name was Anantha Appalacharyulu. His ancestors to the nearest forefathers had been the honourable clan of students tutored in `Sribhashyam’ (commentary on the Badarayana Sutras known as `Brahma Sutras’) under the able guidance of the descendants of the direct disciples of Sri Ramanuja. By teaching `Sribhashyam’ since time immemorial, his ancestors had earned that title. His father had performed the uphill task of circumambulating the hill many times praying for a son and he begot him. He was equally devoted to the deity of Simhachalam known as “Appanna” and thus named his son Appalacharya.
Commentaries

His commentary on the Ramayana is called `Tatva Deepika’. He is inspired by the benedictional verse, Ma Nishada of Valmiki and sees Srinivasa in between the lines of that couplet. Underneath the Seven Hills he sees the `divine idea’ in the seven kandas of the Ramayana. (playing on the sonic similarity of `ko’ and `ka’ in Telugu) He has titled his lectures as Yedukondalu-Yedukandalu. He has proved that Rama was never conscious of his divine identity unto six kandas of the epic and he had emerged as `Narayana’ in the seventh kanda only – this ‘Narayana Tatva’ he calls the `divine idea’. The seventh hill, Narayanadri, shrouds Lord Venkateswara from behind. The booklet of his lectures reveals his ingenious interpretative skill.

    After my Grand mother, I came to know the best way of seeing facts/life around us are from his lectures. Every time I listen to him I understand life in a better way. My deep salutations will always be at his holy feet.
