Inspirational Park-3

we had mentioned that Ganesan had deep interest in our culture and heritage. He started refering to old tamil books before taking any action In younger days he studied these; திருமந்திரம், சிலப்பதிகாரம், திருவாசகம் திரு அருட்பா When he became Army officer he was interested in புறநானூறு , புறப்பொருள் வெண்பாமாலை, கலிங்கத்துப்பரணி As he gained age and experience he developed interest in Psychology, philosophy and human resourcec Development. Now a stage has come to give back whaever ge gained. நான் பெற்ற இன்பம் பெறுக இவ்வையகம் வான் பற்றி நின்ற மறைப்பொருள் சொல்லவும் ஊன்பற்றி நின்ற உணர்வு உறு மந்திரம் தான்பற்றப் பற்ற தலைப்படும் தானே. With this frame of mind Ganesan s

tarted executing his plan slowly and steadily. The first thing is about drawing the attention of the public. Ganesan , when he was selected for the Antarctic mission came to his village and took a handfull of earth from his birth place. This earth was sprinkled arround india's research station Dakshingangotri when he took over the station.On completion of his mission he got rocks weighing about a ton loaded with the help of crane and brought to india. One such stone is to be installed in his native place.

Loading of the stone at South pole. The plan was to errect a hexagonal platform and in the centre a pillar of about 12 feet height will be errected. The Antarctic stone will be place at the top of the stone.
