Soundara Kailasam

The first volume of Soundara Kailasam published under the title” The Poems of Soundara Kailasam” had special messages of greetings from many dignitaries and national leaders. Neelam SanjeevaReddy, Morarji Desai, Indira Gandhi, R.Venkataraman and C.Subramaniam had given their best wishes and their regards for the poetic talents of Soundara Kailasam.
The poems in this volume are classified in five divisions viz. Divinity, Nation, Society, Great Personalities and Variety.
The first division i.e. Divinity is a larger one consisting of a major portion of this volume thereby showing the deep involvement of Soundara Kailasam in Religion and worship.

SanjivaReddy
Neelam Sanjiva Reddy in his message points out that Bhakti is a special and salient feature in her poems.
“I know Mrs.Soundara Kailasam for the past 25 years.
She is a devout lady deeply interested in religion and spirituality.
The fundamental truths of all religions are one and the same and they have been revealed by different pious persons in various climes and countries in different languages.
I am happy to know that Smt.Kailasam is publishing her prayerful Compositions in Tamil.I hope the book will not only inspire the younger generation but will also serve as a common bond to promote righteous living.”

Morarji Desai
Morarji Desai, in his message, stresses the fact that her devotional poems have a special place in Indian literature.
“I am happy to know that Smt.Soundara Kailasam has
composed Bhajans in Tamil in a prayerful mood. I trust these Bhajans will be a good addition to those, which have come down to us and offer us the necessary incentive to lead our lives without attachment to needless worldly desires in complete surrender to God.”
Her passionate appeal to God in her poems attracts the readers. Her sincere faith and strong belief in God add a soul-stirring sentiment to her devotional poems.
When she praises Narayana she reminds us of Andal and when she dedicates her poems in the praise of Siva she reminds us of Karaikal ammai.
