Periyar E.V.Ramasamy, social reformer and a known atheist may not have been an atheist, after all. Information available thro Deccan Chronical News Paper dated 22-7-2009 which has indicated that he is said to have prayed to God to help the Kovai Sarvajna School flourish during his visit here in 1925.
His jottings in the visitors’ book of the school still remain a closely guarded secret. This is what was penned in the book: “kadavul ip palliukudathirku melum melum abivrithiku arul puriyattum” which means, ‘God should help this school grow.’ The DK founder goes on to add, “kudumbathirku ayul vrithiyum subikshamum kudukka prarthikkiren” — ‘I pray to God that the family (of PSG) should have long life and prosperity’.
Let us hail the Social activities of Periyar and his belief towards God.
