At the age of 20, he was shocked by the partition of India and Pakistan. Hearing about the brutal experiences of Hindus who had come to Avadi, Chennai, as refugees from Pakistan, he decided that his life was for this country and society.
In 1948, he resigned from his job in the electricity sector and dedicated his life to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, the ideal he had championed for 73 years.
He worked for Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh from 1964 to 1980, and for the Hindu Munnani from 1980 to 2020.
Throughout his life, he prepared millions of workers for this cause.
He inspired many people to resign from government jobs to work on the Vivekananda Rock Memorial in Kanyakumari.
His role in spreading Vivekananda’s ideas throughout Tamil Nadu was crucial.
He highlighted the national history and Hindu history contained in Tamil literature and brought it to the notice of Tamil world.
He taught the history of Chhatrapati Shivaji, the history of those who lived for the nation, and the history of the freedom fighters … to the youth of Tamil Nadu, who had been studying only the history of slavery.
He wrote a book called “Gnana Malar,” a collection of 100 essays, to strengthen the future lives of students.
He wrote a book called “Oozhiyar Thunaivan,” to empower every worker to work efficiently and properly.
After assuming the responsibility of Hindu Munnani in 1980, he first installed a deity at the Jalakandeswarar Temple in Vellore, where there had been no deity for 400 years.
He organized Hindu Unity Conferences throughout Tamil Nadu and instilled hope among Hindus.
He prevented many conversions, including the Meenakshipuram mass conversion.
He organized the Tiruvaroor Rath Yatra, which had been suspended for many years.
He took saints to slums.
He inspired every ordinary Hindu to fight for the Hindu community.
He united women and raised Hindu awareness.

And he inspired many to fight.
He compiled the anti Emergency struggle history.
He defeated the false propaganda of the DK in Tamil Nadu.
He made the people and the government realise anti-national, separatist terrorist activities.
He fought to protect temples and temple property.
He travelled across Tamil Nadu continuously for 73 years to revive nationalism and divinity in Tamil Nadu.
On September 30, 2020, he merged at the feet of Bharat Mata and Almighty.
His life, a blend of nationalism and divinity, will remain an inspiration not only for all of us, but also for the future Hindu society.
