He has uploaded several YouTube lectures on comparative understanding of these three Bhashyas (mata-traya-bhashya) on the Gita recently. He, along with other students of Sri K.S Varadachar wrote a paper in English, titled “Satyanveshana (Inquiry into truth)”. Satyaveshana was written by Sri K.S Varadachar, in Sanskrit as an introduction to “sarvankaSA”, his own commentary on “tatva muktA kalApa” of Sri Vedanta Desika. This paper explains the true nature of Vedanta philosophy highlighting the close relationship between the three main systems of Vedanta namely Advaita, Visistadvaita, and Dvaita by exposing major misconceptions regarding them.
