ForewordLet Tamil rule sweeter, reign over the worldThe Tamil drumming music raised above the skyTamilnadu becomes the motherland of all the worldTamil is the mother tongue of the world ... roared Kaviyogi Shuddhananda Bharati. And today, Fire of Tamil rises up again to inspire the Tamilians.Many songs appearing in Fire of Tamil were published before the independence of India. In the fifties Fire of Tamil came out again with many more poems in a revised version and developed Tamil. Again, in 1978 it took a new look as 'New Tamilnadu' and today comes out to shine as Fire of Tamil at the hands of Tamilians. Let us listen what Kaviyogi had to say about Fire of Tamil.'Tamil is an ancient language of India; Tamilians are the world's most ancient people; Tamilnadu had flourished even before Lemurian continent's period. Tamilnadu should be in the forefront of the world, in all sectors, such as Art, Education, Industry, Trade, Religion and Yoga. It has the capacity. We have to put in effort; we have resources, we have to put in our efforts. In what condition is Tamilnadu in the world today, which was once famous for six thousand years? What fame, what kind of activities? How good was it? If we search it, we will find the Tamil spirit brimming. I wish that spirit to become the fire of energy, to be converted into action, and to this cause I wrote these songs. Let Fire of Tamil create a spirit of Tamil in every Tamil heart!'Let us keep the lines of Shuddhananda Bharati in mind and work towards it, 'Awake, arise, work, rise up, Prosper in this world ye Tamilians!'Let joy engulf! Long live all!Editions ASSA, Christian Piaget
The Delightful Tamil Garden is a rare book of prose; I was ecstatic on reading it. The great talent of the author, Yogi Suddhananda Bharathi is admirable! As his great qualities are well-known to the world, it will only be an exaggeration if I say that this book written by him is wonderful in many ways. It is praiseworthy that, as the title implies, he has written the book, creating a relationship between trees, plants, creepers, flowers, and unripe fruits and the names of the Tamil books. Dr. U. V. Swaminatha Iyer.
Kummi Folk DanceEveryone should know the history of the motherland. The history of our country is very elaborate. Students and public should know in two hours, the history of our country from the continent of Kumari to the Gandhi era.V.V.S. Iyer requested that our history should be cogently sung and presented in a folk song tune. Kavi Yogi Shuddhananda Bharati sang this folk song one night in 1922. Along with students he sang, danced and showed it in the night itself. We have seen him singing about the Himalayan war also on the radio recently. This complete folk song was relayed over the radio at this time. These poems will be very beneficial for students. Keeping a picture of Bharat Mata before a lamp, combining with musical instruments, sing the history of India in a loud voice, clap and perform the folk dance, in the hearts of the listeners patriotism will glow. This folk dance will be of great benefit for our villagers to learn about the history of our country.Let these songs sound all over Tamil Nadu. May the Tamils, in the coming days keep buying these songs and give to all the world.May joy surround! Long live all! Chennai, March 1964, Kavi Yogi BharatiEditions ASSA, Christian Piaget
This play, Land endowment revolutionThis play is dedicated to our country India that flourishes under the tri-coloured flag. The voices of Nehru and Vinoba are being heard in our country today. Nehruji is giving emphasis to socialism. Socialism stands for equal justice; to till the land according to one's needs and obtain food; to make work and livelihoods common property and enable everyone to lead a happy life. The injustice of some people amassing wealth and prospering with the labour of many people is abolished ? these are the salient points of equal justice. Vinobaji's land endowment movement is a great pillar of support to achieve this end. Land endowment is the donation of land by landowners to the landless people. A bloodless revolution for equal justice takes place. I wrote this play 'Land endowment revolution' on the basis of this principle. I dedicate this play to the land endowment movement.Yoga Samajam, Vadalur, Shuddhananda Bharati
