‘Children of God’
P. SUNDARESAN
KADAVULIN KUZHANTHAIKAL — Autobiography: C. C. Vijayakumari; Sivasakthi Kakkum Karangal, 3/16 Ponniyamman Koil Street, Alapakkam, Porur, Chennai-600116. Rs. 250.
VIJAYAKUMARI, THE epitome of self-confidence and devotion to a cause, speaks her mind through her autobiography. Her great journey through life was beset with trials and tribulations right from her infancy. When conscience smote the teenager for being discriminated against, she quit her parental home with the guts of the “Pudumaippenn” conceived by Bharati. Vijaya turned a live wire wedded only to her work having been reckoned as an instrument of God. The book full of the philosophy of life dilates on this belief.
By her own choosing, she lives and works for the mentally challenged whom she calls children of God as well as destitute senior citizens. And she scored a hat trick by running a chain of Sivasakthi Homes in Chennai, Bangalore and Singadivakkam village on the outskirts of Kancheepuram. Focus is on the invaluable services being volunteered by humanitarians. Not to speak of the dedicated board of trustees. There is a loud thinking that translation of this in other languages will go a long way to further the cause.
