Bharathi lashes his whip mercilessly at the ill-founded superstitious beliefs in witchcraft astrology and the concepts of heaven and hell. His poem பாரத ஜனங்களின் தற்கால நிலைமை is a painful lament on the timid, vulnerable and credulous contemporary majority of Indians. His புதிய ஆத்தி சூடி is a compilation of short dictums to young Indian children to root out fear and superstitions. In விநாயகர் நான்மணிமாலை, an apparently devotional composition, he defines ‘hell’ as ‘immersion in worries’ and ‘heaven’ or ‘salvation’ as extrication from worries!
