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.
