Who Lived Who Lived Who Lived Who Lived Who Lived Who Lived Who Lived Who Lived Who Lived Who Lived Who Lived Who Lived Who Lived Who Was Dead
– The birthday of MGR, the legendary hero who raised the question in the film Mannathi Mannan and gave an answer to it, is being celebrated all over the world today.
Among the thousands of leaders who have emerged in India, he has disappeared from the world and remains with unfading fame even after 35 years, because of his generosity.
A wave of surrender
The Kaliyuga Vallana that emerged after the last seven Vallanas was infused in MGR’s blood, his generosity.
It is a surprising story that MGR, who was born in Kandy, Sri Lanka, came to Kumbakonam, Tamil Nadu and started acting to earn a living and helped fellow artists during the difficult times.
His flamboyant nature, which started in the theater shed, continued till his last breath as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. continues even after his death.
He is the kind of person who gives without considering whether he will get any benefit from helping someone, regardless of time and place.
That’s why MGR can leave the furnace in the oven and go home with confidence. People were convinced that help would arrive before the furnace boiled over. No leader in the world has instilled such faith in the people.
As soon as MGR started acting as a hero, he started getting salary in lakhs. When he started acting, the price of 1 sawan gold was 80 rupees, but by the time he acted in his last film, it was only 1,200 rupees.
And the value of real estate was sold at less than Rs 10 per square foot.
But he invested in them and did not want to keep anything for himself and gave away all the money.
Honesty, principle
He maintained an honesty and principle in money-making cinema. In this world, if a film has been made for the ideals of an individual and it has succeeded, it is only MGR’s films.
An uneducated layman understandably how a man should live and what qualities he should adopt, he told what he could do to people through songs and dialogues in the film.
He came to power and fulfilled everything he said in the movie.
Rule with integrity
In the film Nadodi Mannan, the old man, who said that he would give half of his property for the life of the differently abled, to eliminate unemployment, to set up industrial centers and to build schools, actually performed in his lifetime.
After coming to power, he was a revolutionary leader who ruled honestly without buying a single property. He bequeathed his hard-earned wealth to deaf and speechless people.
MGR started a home for the speechless in Ramapuram Garden, Chennai.
He wrote in his will that the income from the Satya Garden at Saligramam should be spent on providing free education, food and clothing to the children staying there.
Realizing MGR’s humanitarian nature, former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri visited MGR during his Andaman tour in 1965. R. opened the fan club.
Last, during the Chinese invasion of 1962-1967, he announced that he would donate 1 lakh rupees to the country’s defense fund, and sent the first installment of 75 thousand rupees to Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and after his death in 1964, the second installment of 25 thousand rupees was sent to President Radhakrishnan.
Appreciating and thanking MGR for his superior character, both of them sent letters of thanks. MGR was posthumously honored by the central government with the country’s highest award, ‘Bharat Ratna’.

request
MGR showed the same love and concern for the majority people that he showed for the minority people.
Although he ruled in Annadurai’s way, he went to the Mother Mookambikai temple and worshipped.
Spirituality was revived in Tamil Nadu when MGR, who was in poor health, prayed for his recovery and people prayed in large numbers. That is why all people love MGR as a member of their family till today.
In 2019, Indian Prime Minister Modi honored the Chennai Central Railway Station by naming it as ‘Dr. Revolution Leader M.G. Ramachandran Central Railway Station’ after the name of MGR, who lived a life of patriotism, humanity, and people’s love.
On this day, on behalf of the people of Tamil Nadu and on behalf of MGR and volunteers, I request Prime Minister Narendra Modi to declare 17th January, the birthday of revolutionary leader MGR, as India’s Humanity Day.
It is certain that Modi will get the love of the people of Tamil Nadu by fulfilling the Humanity Day request by naming the Central Railway Station after MGR and recognizing his great fame.
As long as there is humanity in this world, MGR’s fame will live on.
