Living and Giving by the Book
Sri S Balasubramanian, who is known as Kala Niketan Balu to his friends and well-wishers, decided to give away much of his savings when he turned 85. On that eventful day Sri Sarma Sastrigal through his team of Vedic pundits organized Veda Parayanam, Rituals and Homams at Chennai. Immediately after that Sri Balasubramanian distributed donations ranging from Rs One Lakh to several thousands to many service ans philanthropic organizations. A trust associated with the Cancer Institute at Adyar, the Sivananda Ashramam, the Raja Patasala of Kumbakonam, the Kanchi Kamakoti Mutt, the Bala Vihar, the Thambras, the Ramakrishna Ashramam are just few names amongst the organizations whose representatives received the munificence through the hands of Sri Cho Ramaswamy who was the Chief Guest.
“I have benefited immensely from reading the book 'The Great Hindu Tradition' authored by Sarma Sastrigal” said
Sri Balasubramanian at the function. “I wish that the book is read by more young people since it has a wealth of information so lucidly put in such simple language. The section on frequently asked questions is a good reference guide to base your life on” he said.
Some present at the function were given each a copy of the book much to the delight of them.
