Thiruvallikkeni ~ is the famed Divaydesam of Sri
Parthasarathi. It is also best known to
be the place where Mahakavi lived – that was at Thulasinga Perumal Kovil Street
~ the entrance of Sri Azhagiya Singar sannathi on the western side of the
temple.
Dec 11 – is to be eternally
remembered for that iconoclastic freedom fighter - born in a small village
called Ettayapuram on Dec 11' 1882 ~ the man who breathed freedom
struggle. He had a troubled existence, constantly chased by the British
Govt, was on the run – still his
indomitable will and his concerted action mobilized masses, making them aware
of the need for freedom in the Southern India.
சுப்ரமணிய பாரதியார் ~
ஒரு உன்னத
பிறவி. கவிதைகள் வாயிலாக மக்களின் மனதில்
விடுதலை உணர்வை ஊட்டியவர். இவர் ஒரு கவிஞர் மட்டுமல்லாமல் ஒரு எழுத்தாளர், பத்திரிக்கை ஆசிரியர்,
சமூக
சீர்திருத்தவாதி - தன் காலத்துக்கு மிகவும் பல்லாண்டுகள் பிறகு நடக்க வல்லவை பற்றி கூர் நோக்குடன் சிந்தித்தவர். குறைந்த காலமே வாழ்ந்தாலும் சாதனைகள் செய்தவர்.
இளமையிலேயே கவிபாடும் திறமை பெற்றிருந்த சுப்பிரமணியன், எட்டையபுர சமஸ்தானப் புலவர்கள் அவையில் பாரதி என்ற
பட்டம் பெற்றார். அன்று முதல் இவர் “சுப்பிரமணிய
பாரதியார்”என அழைக்கப்பெற்றார்.
Mahakavi Subramanya Barathi…. the greatest of modern
poets acclaimed that ‘writing poems is
his profession’ – but lived the life of fighting for independence. He was
proficient in Sanskrit, Telugu, English, and French. He wrote with felicity in
English. The poet was closely associated with many Swadeshi leaders in the
south, including V.O. Chidambaram Pillai. When the British Raj clamped down on
the Swadeshis, he took refuge in Pondicherry in 1908; Aurobindo and V.V.S. Iyer
also sought shelter there later. In 1920, Bharati returned to Madras to rejoin
Swadesamitran. He met Mahatma Gandhi and wrote an oft-quoted poem in praise of
non-violence. But his last years were tragic and he died in obscurity in
September 1921.
At Thiruvallikkeni, where Barathiyar lived – Vanavil
Panpattu Maiyam [in association of Srinivas Youngmens Association (SYMA) and
Sree Krishna Sweets] is organizing a 3
day fete on 11th, 12th

Mahakavi Subramanya Bharathiyar and
