Touring India

Swami went on a pilgrimage to several Kshetras like Tiruk Kadigai, Tiru Ayodhya, Kaasi, Mathura, Avanti, Badarikasramam, Puri, Brindavan, Dwaraka, Triveni, Gaya, Salagramam, Purushothamam, Srikoormam etc., (as can be seen from his description of these places in Act VI of Sankalpa Suryodayam) before returning to Kanchi, he also visited Tiruvallikkeni, Tiruvallur; Sri Rangam and allied chola Desam, Thirumalirumcholai, Srivilliputtur, Thiruppulani and allied Pandya Desam, Thiruvananthapuram and allied Malayala Desam.

Swami propagated the Vishistadvaita of Sri Ramanuja and guided people all along the length and Breadth of the nation. Even though he was a very great scholar, he remained humble. With Modesty he marks in one of his works as "Vedaanta Desika Padhe Vinivesya Baalam" which gives a meaning "Oh! How the Lord had elevated me a mere boy into a competent Acharya."
