C. Radhakrishnan
When are we going to join them with eagerness and joy? Without subjugating anybody even when strong, without hating anybody even when weak; those who had shown the way and flown in front even long long before to the valleys of peace and tranquility, they still ask us with compassion, when will you be joining us?.... when?.... how many blood baths more?.... - From Munpe parakkuna pakshikal

Theekadal Kadanhu Thirumadhuram Third Edition Biography of Thunjathe Ezhuthachan, the renowned poet. C. Radhakrishnan was conferred the prestigious Odakuzhal Award for this brilliant work. The work presents an extremely challenging attempt to sketch Ezhuthachan's life and his creative instinct through the great teacher's own mind and emotions. The story is written mostly as the Author had heard from his grandparents, in correlation with the known history of that period. Ezhuthachan's real name was Krishnan, but this name has been long forgotten except within the family, as it was not prudent to address teachers by their real name. The great teacher was known widely as "Thunjathe Aniyanezhuthachan" (his elder brother Raman also being a teacher), or simply "Thunjathe Ezhuthachan". Contrary to a popular belief strongly upheld by some of the present day "Thunjan Parambu advocates", Ezhuthachan was not born in Thunjan Parambu. But this place is strongly associated with the great teacher, because it was in Thunjan Parambu that the family set up their most famous and influential school. Another popular mistake is to address the great teacher as "Thunjan". That was not his name. He was called "Thunjath Ezhuthachan" because the family had resided at Thunjan parambu. |

The Author's essays on Physics - STUFF AND STYLE OF THE UNIVERSE This is a different look at the universe. A somewhat unconventional look....
Physics is clean, trim, open and transparent and it amply satisfies reason, at least to begin with. Ask a tricky question and get a happy answer that leads to a trickier question, a happier answer and so on. The hitch is that the process thus merrily begun often fails to reach a joyous end..
To Stuff and style of the universe The entire work published in the web. Some of the key stanzas in the Bhagavad Gita about the stuff of the universe. The fundamentals of Advaitha philosophy and its practical outlook is explained here |
Geethadarsanam C. Radhakrishnan's work on the Bhagavad Gita Second Edition *New Available in bookstalls of D.C. Books.
This work was serialized in the Mathrubhumi
newspaper. C. Radhakrishnan has used the knowledge of modern science for a thoroughly critical analysis of ancient wisdom, to bring about a totally different work. No superstitions here. Without any doubt, the book is the first of its kind. The Author explores in his unique yet simple way, how the ancient Upanishadic wisdom in the Gita would help clear away all sorrows of people anywhere in the world, whatever be their religion or position, and help them face whatever challenges and struggles they may meet with in life with maturity and courage. The Vedantic outlook in day to day life has never been explored as thoroughly as this, ever before.
