FOREWORD-2*2 It is with deep satisfaction that I have gone through the exposition of one of the immortal works in religious literature --- Kandar Anubhuti of Saint Arunagirinathar --- presented by Sri Karthikeyan, whose earnestness of spirit and honesty of purpose in making this wisdom available to all seekers in the world I can personally vouchsafe due to a fairly long contact I had with him for years, as well as my observation of his fervor in things spiritual and his ardent longing for a Godly life of service, devotion, and an immense goodness in dealing with issues in general. Such an author as this, ably fitted to share his thoughts on subjects concerning the profounder themes of the Spirit, should be regarded as one who is in a position to understand the psychological and practical processes of Sadhana which are mystically presented by Saint Arunagirinathar.The present exposition is precisely the seeker's point of view, for that is really the right point of view which one has to adopt in treating of a spiritual text intended for catering to the needs of the soul of man. We are naturally more concerned with what we are at present than what we would be or ought to be in a purely idealistic sense. And what we are presently is a complex bundle of entanglements, passions, urges as well as aspirations. All these should indeed necessitate and call for a realistic approach to facts of the inner life of man, which will at once draw appeal from souls rather than personalities. From this assessment, it will be found that the Kandar Anubhuti, as commented on here in great detail, will be the most appropriate study-guide in daily life to all sincere Sadhakas who are struggling on the path to self-restraint and self-composure. Not only this. The work is a powerful aid in gaining access into the ideal realization which awaits one in the end. It is thus a compendium combining in its compass a beautiful description of the means of living a disciplined spiritual life as also of the end to be attained thereby --- the summum bonum of existence. May the work be ushered in for the release of beneficent forces throughout the world!
