Shri Vethathiri Maharishi, born in 1911 in Guduvancheri a village located 30 km south of Chennai, South India. From his youth he was driven by the desire for knowledge and in particular strove to find answers to three questions: "What is God?" "What is life?" and "Why is there poverty in the world?". The search to find these answers as well as the necessity to further his lot in life lead him into various fields of endeavor, including becoming a qualified practitioner for two systems of Indian indigenous medicine, namely Ayurveda and Siddha, and a certified practitioner of Homeopathy as well. Enlightened through several years of intense meditation and introspection, he has spontaneously poured out over 2000 poems dealing with origin and functions of the cosmos as well as on all aspects of human life. He remains dedicated to serving his fellow beings by conveying his understanding of the One Supreme Power and its evolution through his speeches and writings.
