A literary celebration of Lord Murugan where the rich Tamizh language takes centrestage
SMITHA VERMA
In God's Own Tongue

The first thing that strikes you when you finish reading Kala Krishnan's Theivanai is why do we not have more books on Murugan in English? Why is so little written about this Lord of courage, victory and wisdom? In the world of mythological fiction where other Hindu deities vie for shelf space in a bookstore, barely any titles in English exist on the chief deity from Tamil Nadu. Krishnan's novel not only fills this gap, but also brings to life the cultural richness and spiritual depth surrounding Murugan and his divine consorts.

Theivanai is part two of the Murugan trilogy by Krishnan and, just like the first one, this too stays true to its cause and shows us Murugan the warrior and Murugan the lover of poetry and the 'God of Tamizh'.
