Abstract

K.S. Krishnan was born on 4 December 1898 in the village of Vizhupanoor, close to the temple town of Srivilliputtur, in the present-day Tamil Nadu. Krishnan’s father, Srinivasa Iyengar, was a Brahmin farmer-scholar of the old school, deeply knowledgeable in Tamil and Sanskrit religious literature. Krishnan’s mother, Nachiyar Ammal, was a lady of strong character and took care of the family’s social and domestic duties and looked after the agricultural lands and property. The family had a strong religious and scholastic tradition. From his father, Krishnan had inherited an abiding love for religion, philosophy and had a thorough knowledge of Tamil and Sanskrit literature and language. After the early demise of his father, Krishnan’s mother took the responsibility of bringing up the children and educating her sons.
