இது போதும் - Idhu Podhum

by Balakumaran

பாலகுமாரன் இன்று இல்லை. ஆனால் இந்தப் புத்தகத்தின் மூலம் சிலவற்றைப் பேசிவிட்டுச் சென்றதாகத்தான் எனக்குத் தோன்றுகிறது. நான் யாரோ அவர் யாரோ. ஆனால் என் பத்திரிகையைப் பார்த்துவிட்டு அதற்கு எதாவது நன்கொடை அளிக்க வேண்டுமென்ற எண்ணம் அவருக்கு ஏற்பட்டதை நினைத்து எனக்கு ஆச்சரியமாக இருக்கிறது. உண்மையில் யோகி ராம்சுரத்குமார் அவர் மூலம் கட்டளை இட்டிருக்கலாம்.

இந்தச் சந்திப்புக்குப் பிறகு எனக்கும் அவருக்கும் எந்தச் சந்திப்பும் நிகழவில்லை. போனில் பேச நினைத்தாலும் பேச அவர் விழையவில்லை. அதன்பின் நான் அனுப்பிய விருட்சம் இதழ்களை அவர் பார்த்தாரா என்பது கூடத் தெரியாது. பத்து கேள்விகள் பத்து பதில்கள் என்ற தலைப்பில் அவரை வைத்து படம் எடுக்க வேண்டுமென்று நினைத்தேன். அதற்கு அவர் சம்மதமும் தெரிவிக்கவில்லை.

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.

This is enough to begin...

[Vairavel · Rating 5 out of 5]

Written in typical Balakumaran style, this book tries to find answers to various questions that most of us have from a spiritual or religious perspective. The author shares his own experience and I should admit that this book is an interesting yet revealing read. The book also includes a second section called "Kadavulai Thedi" which is also quite interesting to read. I would highly recommend this book for readers who are interested in reading Balakumaran's works.
