Mahaagnijith Bahuyaaji Brahmasri B.Kesava Vaajapeyaji, is the grandson of the most revered Sengalipuram Brahmasri Anantharama Deekshithar and Brahmasri Narayana Deekshithar. He hails from a distinguished family that can trace a record unbroken performance of 'Somayagam' to the last 35 generations (Important to note that there are only 30 Somayagis now living in Tamilnadu and only 3 people in the whole world who can be referred to as Mahaagnijith & Vaajapeyayaaji). He is a Niyama Adyaayi who learnt Vedas from his father, Sri Babu Dikshithar and became a 'Yajur Veda Krama Paathi'. He has also formally learnt Jyothisam and also a Nitya Agnihotri. In 2004, at a young age of 25, he was honored as 'Aasthana Vidwan' of Avadhoota Datta Peetam (of Sri Ganapathi Sachitananda Swamy) Mysore, in the presence of the Governor of Karnataka at a mammoth public function. On stage from the age of eleven, Sri Kesava Vaajapeyayaaji began his first full-fledged Upanyasam at the age of 15. He is at home delivering Srimad Ramayanam, Bhagavatham, Narayaneeyam, Vyasa Bharatham, Adi Sankara Vijayam etc. It is a sheer delight to hear his expositions on Sankara's works like Soundaryalahari, Sivanandalahari, Prashnotra Ratna malika  etc.  Certainly very few delve into the depths of our Epics, as Sri Kesava Vaajapeyayaaji. This true grandson, of Sengalipuram parampara, has so far presented 'Srimad Bhagavatha' Saptaham and 'Srimad Ramayanam' Navaham each for over 300 times. He has the rare privilege of presenting 'Srimad Bhagavatha' Sapathaham in Guruvayur thrice and also performing parayanam inside the temple on few occasions.
