சொர்க்கம் நடுவிலே [Sorgam Naduvile]

by Balakumaran

ஆண் - பெண் உறவுச் சிக்கல்களை விளக்கி வளமான வாழ்வுக்கு வித்திட்ட உங்கள் எழுத்து, இல்லறத்தோடு கூடிய இறை தேடலை ஊக்குவித்த உங்கள் உற்சாகமான எழுத்து, வாழ்விற்கு எதிர்மறையான மரணத்தைப் பற்றி ஏன் எழுத வேண்டும் என்ற பெரிய கேள்விக் குறி என் முன்னே நின்றது. என்றோ ஒரு நாள் மரணம் நிகழப்போகிறது. அதைப் பற்றி இன்று தெரிந்து கொண்டு ஏன் வாழ்வின் சுஐவை கெடுத்துக் கொள்ள வேண்டும்.

About the author

Balakumaran was born in Pazhamarneri village near Thirukattupalli in Thanjavur district in 1946. As a child, he was highly inspired by his mother, who was a Tamil scholar and a Siromani in Sanskrit, used verses of Sangam and other ancient literature to motivate him when ever he was emotionally down. This created a deep interest in Tamil literature which made literature his passion. His first stories were published in a literary magazine called ‘Ka-Sa-Da-Tha-Pa-Ra’ and for which he was also a founding member, a self-anointed militant literary journal that had been launched with a mission to blaze new trails in modernist literature.

He has also contributed to Tamil periodicals such as Kalki, Ananda Vikatan, Saavi and Kumudam. Later he became a famous Tamil writer, author of over 200 novels, 100 short stories, and dialogue/screenplay writer for over 14 films. His writings are noted for a distinct philosophical and religious tone. He is fondly called 'Ezhuthu Sithar' by his fans. He is a disciple of "Sri Yogi Ram Surath Kumar".

In his many novels he shows immense interest in enlightenment. He is considered as "Maanasiga Guru" for many individuals, who are in search of the formless almighty. His lucid but powerful expressions of man-woman relationship and human-God union is a tribute to mankind.

Reviews

[Sankar Subramaniam · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read this book for second time. It changed my life and the way i look at things around me and in myself. Whether you believe in life after death or not for sure, i believe you want to make your life more meaningful. This books tells the story of several people coming in from varied life situations and the journey they make as part of life after death. While it is all true or not, certainly make us to think about what we do today and what we could do better - leading to a meaningful life.

ok ok stuff! Despite the author's attempt to educate readers on death and get them rid of the fear of death i think he ended up making me more attached to the dear life!! Probably this will make more sense as one grows old. Very draggy and yet certain places are very good. Loved the narrator's tale! Cholam Cholam.

As the chapters were loosely knitted, i didn't feel this was a compelling read. It was more of running thru the pages and see what the author wants to share.

An amazing tale written on after-death.
