Interview with author Srinivasan Panchanadam Nathan
TLT: Deeply Congratulations on your latest book, “Whispers Of The Heart!” What kind of responses are you getting from this book of yours? Please share your experience with this book.
Srinivasan Panchanadam Nathan: Thank you immensely for your kind words. The reception to “Whispers Of The Heart Verses for my loved ones” has been overwhelmingly gratifying. Readers have conveyed a profound emotional resonance with the verses, often reflecting on their spiritual journeys. It is heartening to witness my words inspire introspection and dialogue among various communities, which is, after all, the quintessence of poetry.
TLT: What inspired you to write this book? What was the impetus behind this work of yours?
Srinivasan Panchanadam Nathan: The genesis of this collection springs from a confluence of personal experiences and universal truths. I sought to explore the intricate tapestry of human emotions, juxtaposed with spiritual enlightenment. This book is a manifestation of my quest for understanding the ephemeral nature of existence and an invitation for readers to embark on their explorative odyssey.
TLT: You’ve given a very interesting title to your book, which is very thought-provoking too, so what made you go for this title for your book?
Srinivasan Panchanadam Nathan: “Whispers Of The Heart verses for my loved ones” encapsulates the delicate and oftentimes elusive nature of our innermost thoughts and feelings. The heart, in its quietude, possesses the profound ability to communicate wisdom that transcends the cacophony of daily life. Thus, the title serves as both an invitation and a reminder to listen closely to the subtle murmurs of our inner selves.
TLT: What was your mind-set while working on this book? What do you expect the readers to extract from this book?
Srinivasan Panchanadam Nathan: My mindset was one of contemplative introspection, striving to create a sanctuary of words where readers might find solace and inspiration. I hope they extract not only an appreciation for the beauty of language but also a deeper understanding of their spiritual essence, prompting them to reflect on their unique paths.
TLT: How is this book of yours different from the other titles of the same genre?
Srinivasan Panchanadam Nathan: Unlike my previous works, “Whispers Of The Heart Verses for my loved ones” delves more intimately into the intersection of spirituality and the human experience. While my earlier books touched on rhythmic and reflective themes, this
collection endeavors to evoke a more visceral connection, urging readers to confront their innermost fears and aspirations with candor.
TLT: Next, I would want you to tell us about some of those writers who had inspired you and whom you follow!
Srinivasan Panchanadam Nathan: I find inspiration in a myriad of literary luminaries—Rumi for his profound mysticism, Tagore for his lyrical beauty, and Neruda for his passionate embrace of love and life. Each of these writers has sculpted my understanding of poetry as a vessel for exploration and expression, guiding my artistic endeavors.
TLT: Which segment of readers is your primary target through this book of yours? And, how is your book relevant in the present-day scenario?
Srinivasan Panchanadam Nathan: My primary audience comprises seekers—those yearning for deeper meaning in a world that often feels fragmented. In today’s tumultuous landscape, where existential questions abound, this book offers a reflective space, urging readers to reconnect with their inner selves amidst the chaos of modernity.
TLT: Is there any message that you would like to convey to your readers? Or any piece of advice, which you would like to give to the readers out there!
Srinivasan Panchanadam Nathan: My enduring message is simple yet profound: embrace the journey of self-discovery with an open heart and mind. Allow the whispers within to guide you towards authenticity, for in that authenticity lies the essence of true fulfillment.
TLT: Are there any other books being worked by you? Please let us know about your future projects.
Srinivasan Panchanadam Nathan: Indeed, I am currently immersed in the creation of a new anthology that seeks to explore the intricacies of human relationships through the lens of spirituality. This forthcoming work aims to delve deeper into the human condition, fostering a dialogue between love, loss, and the quest for meaning.
TLT: Thank you so much for answering all my questions. All the very best to you for the future and your book too!
