When Mudiarasan recalls to his memory the achievements of Bharathithasan, Kalianasundara Mudaliar, Desika Vinayagam Pillai and the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ, he cheerfully details their solemn and enduring merits which the world always welcomes as a universal triumph of the human spirit summoned by the human crises.

When his poems tranquilly bless the souls of the great departed Indians, they have the geunine tenderness of a warm, holy enduring benediction indeed.

His miscellaneous poems enlighten us on the poetic profundity of Kambar’s genius in its entire universa appeal of artistic resplendency.

Mudiarasan’s poetry is charming indeed both in matter and manner: his prosodic variety will please all, and his poetic diction is racy, vivid, ripping, subtle, resonant and suggestive, employing his own concrete, convincing imagery to vivify the imaginative spell of happy human experiences in life’s heaving cosmos.

The poet’s ethical emphasis is direct, and never deviates from the central crisis of life’s languorous lavishness.

We may assure the young poet a glorious future in the world of growing modern Tamil poetry in its expansive accommodative march. His poems console us tenderly, peacefully and permanently.

His musical compositions appear as a sete book of varied graces and inspiration: the exhilarated reader can welcome therein the poet’s dignity, and clarity of harmonious diction designed for the ecstasy of musical utterance. Simple words sing rapturously, inducing a fountain of delight in the listener’s ear.
