Swami Vivekananda's thoughts incorporated by Kannadasan

Who have read Swami Vivekananda's thoughts and reflections? I am afraid not all of us have read on him fully. This fact was known to Kaviarasar and he was saddened by the fact that this great Hindu monk who took the west by storm was not fully understood by his own countrymen. He decided to do something about this. As you know, when Kaviarasar writes he will ensure that it must reach the masses with simplicity of language. Thus the song "Aaru Maname Aaaru Anthan Aandavan Kattalai Aaru" was born (film "Aandavan Kattalai"). After this song was released even the layman was opportuned to learn about Swami Vivekananda;s thought.The entire philosphy made compact in just 6 stanzas! Thats the genius in Kannadhasan.
