Dr. A. Venkadesan

From my childhood onwards, spiritualism has been inculcated in me. During my childhood, I used to play more with idols of God than other toys. Whenever I go to a temple, I get attracted more towards legends and spiritualism associated with that temples. Whenever I find time, I read spiritualism section in the newspaper "The Hindu". Further, with the encouragement of my parents, my sisters, especially my father (Mr.G.Arunachalam) and my uncle (Late Prof. K.P. Ramakrishnan, Professor, Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, College of Engineering (Anna University), Guindy Campus, Chennai), I started reading books related to spiritualism when I was in my 20s. My uncle always used to tell me that engineering knowledge (he quoted engineering because I studied engineering) alone is not sufficient to become a successful and good human being. Spiritualism makes a human being complete and good. These words were my inspiration. I have completed a certificate course in carnatic music (vocal) at Tanjore Tamil State University. The knowledge in carnatic music further kindled my interest in spiritualism.
