Vairamuthu gets the Sadhana Samaan

Vairamuthu gets the Sadhana Samaan



Here’s another institution and another state to appreciate poet Vairamuthu’s world of words. The Sadhana Samaan, which is a literary honour given by the Bharathiya Baasha Parishad, will be given to the poet on April 18.

One of the most revered poet of our times, Kavipperarasu Vairamuthu has been in the writing field for over three decades and has written over 5,800 songs for films. Besides these, he is also widely acclaimed for his literary genius and has published several novels, short stories and poems. A recipient of the National Award five times, he is also popular for having worked with several musical greats, like Illayaraja and AR Rahman.

The Sadhana Samaan will be yet another jewel in the crown of this celebrated poet and lyricist. He will also deliver a speech on Literature: the past, present and the future at the awards ceremony.

The Sadhana Samaan has earlier been won by Tamil writers like Jayakanthan, Indra Parthasarathy and Sivasankari.

Here’s wishing the great litterateur Vairamuthu all success and luck on winning this honour.
