SRI PARAMACHARYARIN  INDHU  MADHA  VILAKKANGAL
Dr. «ð£†«ì£.K.RAMALINGAM
NARMADHA  PATHIPPPAGAM
What is the greatness of Hinduism? It does not proclaim itself to be the only way to Salvation. It does not believe in converting anyone forcefully to Hinduism. Is Purana better than History? Though we say that History repeats itself, we continue to commit the same blunders in every century.Our Puranas are better. They teach us about the outcome of good and bad deeds. Like these, there are delightful answers to delicate questions. Paramacharya's explanations are convincing and complete.

SIVAKAMIYIN SABATHAM
KALKI
VANATHI  PATHIPPAGAM
Described as a brilliant historical romantic novel, this book had enthralled thousands of readers during the life time of «ð£†«ì£alki. A new edition with colourful sketches of Maruthi has been brought out now. The story is an amalgam of love, war, royal intrigues and religious monks. The " vow " of Sivakami takes us through the chapters of history - struggles of Pallavas, Pandiyas and Chalukyas to outwit each other. Even if one had read the book earlier, he will be tempted to read it again to meet Sivakami, Naganandi, Mahendravarman and other characters of the novel. 
 
THANNAI ARIDHAL - INNORU VAAZHKAI
Dr. C.K.MANICKAVASAGAM
NARMADHA  PATHIPPPAGAM

J. «ð£†«ì£rishnamurthy or more popularly «ð£†«ì£nown as JK gave several brilliant lectures during his life time. Though Annie Besant brought him up as a possible successor, he shook it off quickly and chartered a path for himself. He was a philosopher of a different «ð£†«ì£ind. " «ð£†«ì£now yourself " was a favourite theme for him. We have forgotten to love each other. You have to liberate yourself. If you lose yourself, you will be able to «ð£†«ì£now about you. You have to experience the truth of life yourself. These are some of his gems.
