As a young man joined as an Assistant Professor of English in Government Arts College, Coimbatore and lived a carefree life for many years. . However, there was an impact of Swami. Vivekananda due to my childhood acquaintances with the Ramakrishna Mission Ashramam at my native place, West Neyyoor .
This created an interest in philosophical books that eventually led to an interest in
Literary Criticism. This led to understand some of the views of western philosophy. Later after I retired as a Professor of English from Government Arts College, Karur, my son who is a doctor of Siddha Medicine, introduced me to some of the early writings of the the ancient saints of South India.
The philosophical enumeration of these siddhars made me to understand the difference between religion and spiritualism. This understanding created an eternal peace in my mind and body which I want to share with others. I hope that this knowledge will enlighten the future generation hope and help them to have good indulgent of their life.view less
