Krishnan Namboothiri E

Akkitham Achuthan Namboothiri is a renowned, living poet in Malayalam literature (Malayalam is a regional language of Kerala, a state in India). The poetic sensibilities of Akkitham are modified by his in depth knowledge of the Vedas which abound in ecological insight. Ecology has become a major topic of discussion over a few decades as the existence of the entire planet is endangered as a result of the irresponsible attitude of humans to nature. The poet in his poems shares with the readers the ecological concerns and reminds them the necessity to revalidate the Vedic wisdom to come out of the contemporary ecological break down.
