What Who is Chandrashekara saraswathi swamigal ?

This incident probably is something that I will not forget in my life for ever.


29.Jan.2010.  We were coming back to sydney from Chennai after a great trip to India. 


The flight was delayed by 50 mins so was going through the shops at the Airport and I was excited to see the 2 book shops both were same but had the names book shop 1 and shop 2. When I was shopping in chennai we were eagerly looking for the book Voice of God (Kadavulzhin Kural) a collection of preachings from Chandrashekara Saraswathi Swamigal.


I went into shop 1 asked for the book.  The guy with a strong Telugu accent said "taamil booka saaru shop 2 villu checku". Then I went into shop2 browsed for the book unable to find it went for the help of the shop assistant in tamil. " Sir entha voice of god booke erruakaa athu thaan Kadavulhin kural booku erruka sir".
Then the shop assistant said "Athu enna Management booka sira" ? I was thinking to myself May be this guy thinks that i am one of those peter mamas and I told him " Illa sir athu vanthu Chandrashekara saraswathi swamigala loda preaching collections". the shop assistant replied "What Who is Chandrashekara saraswathi swamigal ? " I was awestruck by this. The guy was in his Mid 40s and had a name tagged which said "Venkatesan" :) :) :). 


What who My Goodness.
