Bharathi, Suddhananda : (1893-1990), a yogi, a prolific writer & distinguished poet in Tamil & other languages. He practised yoga first under Raman Maharshi & then under Sri Aurobindo who renamed him Rādhānanda. An inmate of the Sri Aurobindo Ashram from c. 1929 to 1951/52, his magnum opus Bhārathi Sakthi is an epic in which he seeks to convey Sri Aurobindo’s vision of a “super race” in terms of allegory & symbolism. This book won him in 1984 the first Rajrājan Award instituted by the Tamil University for the best creative work in Tamil. He also translated the whole of it into English & part of it into French.
