High Moral Rectitude
Today the writings and pronouncements of
public men have little or nothing to do with their
private life. But the life of Arumuga Navalar was in
திரு. ஆறுமுகநாவலர்
total conformity with everything he said and wrote. Champion of Hinduism
He maintained a high moral standard in both private
and public life. Even his opponents respected him.
Thiru Vi.Ka's Tribute to Navalar
In his short life covering 57 years he published
around 75 books. They covered his original writings
and his commentaries on ancient classics. C.V.
Thamotharampillai and later U.V. Swaminatha lyer
followed the footsteps of Navalar in this field of
publishing ancient classics. One eminent Tamil
scholar Thiru Vi. Ka said "In the field of editing, and
publishing old manuscripts Navalar laid the
foundation, C.V. Thamotharampillai built the walls
and U.V. Swaminatha Iyer beautifully roofed it."
Perfection in Printing
Printing was in embryonic stage in the early
19th century. During this difficult period Navalar
brought out quality printing to the praise of his
readers. This shows clearly his desire for perfection
in all his ventures.
Philanthropist at Heart
He was a philanthropist at heart. In a moving
letter to his elder brother he quotes Mark Anthony,
"I have lost everything except what I have given
away." He passed on all he received towards his
passionate objectives of education, publication and
propaganda for the revival of the heritage of the
Tamils.
2004
Tamil language and Saiva ideals were very
clear to his heart. Throughout his career he
championed the cause of Hinduism. Sir
Muthucumarasamy said of navalar; "He is the Hindu
of hindus. He is one of those orientalists who can
measure sword with even such a giant as my
honourable friend the Queen's Advocate Hon. Mr R
Cayley in any argument. He has a following which
cannot be despised". Sir Ponnambalam
Ramanathan said "we have lost the champion
reformer of Hindus" at the demise of Navalar in
1879.
Posterity will Remember Him
117 years have rolled by after the passing
away of Arumuga Navalar but his memory is still
cherished by all the Tamils throughout the world and
especially by the Eealam Tamils. The Tamils are
eternally indebted to Navalar, and posterity will
remember him with gratitude.
