RAJA THATHA , THE GIFT TO MANKIND.. -- J K SIVAN
It is very rare to come across in life, giants and great men., especially a person blessed and recognized by Maha Periyava for translating sanskrit sthothras and slokas. Such books authored by PRR were published at most economic and comfortable price to reach many people with the aim of spreading knowledge and discipline in life.
i have been lucky in that respect to know and learn about Sri PUDUCCODE RAMA IYER RAMACHANDER though we have not met yet. PRR is an embodiment of love & affection towards his friends, a tower house of deep and sound knowledge , Master of many languages and an epitome of humility and simplicity. He may be younger than me by a few months in age but is ages and aeons beyond me in knowledge of all vedhas, sasthras, and scripts in many languages. I wish I achieve 1/10000000000th of his knowledge which will make me a complete human. Here are some facts about this human wonder.
born on 10-1-1940, in Chelakkaara, Trichur District to a Kerala Iyer, Sri P.R.Rama Iyer popularly known in the village as Kunju Rama Iyer, hailing from Puduccode village PRR is Master degree holder in Mathematics, and holds a post doctoral diploma in agricultural statistics, He was Head of department of Statistics in several ICAR Institutes and after 36 years of service, he retired and published more than 150 papers and 4 books and was recognised as one of the Scientists of the millennium in England by an International Scientific institution..
PRR has no time to waste even a second and if he has any spare time it is devoted to Astrology, matching of horoscopes over internet, Historical studies, Writing English poems, Translating Sthothrams in to english which made me know him and admire him for ever. He is Master of languages such as English, Tamil , Malayalam, Hindi and Sanskrit besides Telugu and Kannada. He lives in Bengaluru now.
