, 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.
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.
He was celebrated the 1000 Purnimas
(Sahasra Chandra Darsanotsavam) by Visakha people in 2003. His biography titled `Pravachana Siromani' was written by renowned litterateur Chitrakavi Aathreya
and released during the celebrations. He reached the abode of Vishnu shortly after the celebrations on June 7, 2003.
