Online references relating to Deivathin Kural
This page is likely to get updated from time to time.
During the 25 years spanning the publication of the seven volumes, devotees
of Maha Periyava and many others interested in Sanathana Dharma, kept hard
copies of Deivathin Kural. There were also regular features in magazines (typically
monthly publications) where excerpts from the volumes would be printed. The
articles appearing in the publications were selected with care and would fit into
the context of what the publication featured in its pages.
Ever since the explosion of information sharing on the Internet through social
networking, devotees have resorted to using blogs to share their knowledge
of Maha Periyava and/or their personal experiences in meeting their "Nadamadum
Deivam". Today there are thousands of references to such writings and the
writings keep increasing in number. Under the circumstances, providing a
reference, say a rare photo of Maha Periyava or personal experiences of a devotee
is a difficult task and may require a search (Googling!).
Yet, there are some primary references which are considered important for
any one desiring to know about Maha Periyava. Given below are four
categories of references which provide the details of interest.
