The location, objectives and the history of Chemamadu Book Depot
Sathapoo. Pathmaseelan who gives identity to the Chemamadu Book Depot in Tamil World.
I am very much glad to give the life’s record of Pathmaseelan. I am the very suitable person to give his history as I have known him from his birth. Not only that but I am one of his close relatives. Though he is three years younger than me, we maintain our relationship as friends.
He is the son of Sayampu Thambaiah Poologasingham and Thamotharampillai Valliyammai. He was born on 24th of August 1963 at Chemamadu which is a very beautiful village in Vavuniya District with acres of paddy fields, thickets, streams and ponds. He has seven siblings. Two siblings died and four are living in foreign countries. His youngest brother and parents are living with his family.
He studied his primary education ( Grade 1 – 5 ) at V/Pantrikkeithakulam G.T.M.S during the period of the principal Mr. Chellaiah and the teachers Mrs. Rasaththy Kumarasamy and Mrs. Chandra Kanapathippillai. Then he continued his grade 6 and 7 at V/Omanthai Maha Vidyalayam during the period of the principals Mr. Logasingham and Mr. Parameswaran. He followed his grade 8 at J/Chawakachcheri Direberg College during the period of the principal Mr. Balachandran. There , he was taught by Mr.Ganeshalingham, Mr.Jemaldeen, Mr.Nadarasa, Mrs.Magesan and Miss. Kandaiah. During this period, he personally from the retired principal Pandit.S.Sivalingham.
For following the G.C.E (A/L), he again joined at V/Omanthai Maha Vidyalayam during that period, Mr.Logasingham was the principal of that school. Mr.Elankaiyar Ganesan, Mrs.Logeswary, Mrs.Puvaneswary, Mrs.Thampu, Mrs.George were the teachers for the A/L classess. In adition to this, he got private classess from Mr.Gunarasa, Varatharasa, Kumaran and Shan. In 1982, though he got the university entrance in Art stream, he left out from the country due to the situation of the country. After the agreement of J.R.Rajeev in 1987, he returned from Srilanka and identified himself as a civilian. At that time, it was a true that he was the person who helped a lot to his relatives, friends and neighbours in many ways and gave advices and guidances to go to abroad. Though a lot of people benefited from him, they didn’t give any gratitude to him and they cheated him in many ways without paying back the money or property got from him. In this way he has been suffering a lot. But he countinuously do his help and hospitality. Once people were chased from Vavuniya, he happily welcomed them and gave security and accomadation about 138 members at his resident in Colombo without any hesitation.
He is very pious and very deep faith in God. Due to that , he raises his helping hand to relatives, friends and neighbours. He is the one who is in every ones’ heart of Chemamadu village due to his great service.
He started his marriage life with Thuraiyappa Jeyarani on 6th of July 1994 and got children, Tharshvini, Sansayan, Sashivarnan and Abinantha respectively in 1996, 1999, 2001 and 2006.The children are studying and they live happily with their family.
In 2005, he established the Book Depot as “Chemamadu Book Depot” for indicating the name of his native village Chemamadu. In 2007, Chemamadu Press was established and within 20 months there were 50 books published. The books were written by educationists and the book “Thamil Pesum Nallulakittu 50 Noolkal” was honoured and praised. Publishing 50 000 (50x1000) books is not a simple task . It is a marvelous work. The dictionary of Jaffna was reprinted and it was a great work of the press.
Chemamadu is a very small village with natural surrounding without any facilities except paddy fields. Most of the villagers are farmers except one or two government servants. Thampu Markandu ( Former Government Agent – Vavuniya), Kasippillai Kandaiah ( Lecturer- University) are some of them.
As I am serving as a principal of a school, I know that Pathmaseelan is the only person who publishes a lot of books to the Tamil world and future generation. In fact, it is true, his parents and wife are the supportive pillars to him to do this great effort to the society.
I wish him all the success to his untiring effort and God Vairavar will help him a lot in future. Thanking You.
Mr.T.Amirthalingham, BA , Dip. In . Edu ,
MEd Principal (SLPS 2-I),
V/Puthukkulam Maha Vidyalayam
I frankly say that the Chemamadu Press is the most relevant institute to publishing a wide variety of publications. More than 150 books including multi level books have been published by the press from 2005.
Before the retirement of Prof. Saba Jeyarasa, it published 25 books within 45 months and it gave great honour to professor and Tamils. Though Sathapoo. Pathmaseelan didn’t gain enough profit from the publication, he continuously does his great service to the mankind. My 4th and 5th books were also published by this press. Prof. Saba Jeyarasa and I followed our university education at the same period and we were roommates. During that period , this press helps hand in hand to us to publish books.
This press published more than 40 books of Prof. Saba and more than 50 books of children’s literature. By publishing a lot of books Sathapoo. Pathmaseelan faced a lot of difficulties, hardships to continue his service. The ancient by Chemamadu books were published by this press with the help of untiring effort of Pathmaseelan. Dictionary of Jaffna (1842) was published in Tamil by Chemamadu Press. The book “From Governor of Srilanka of Great Britin Fredrick North to William Goballawa” also was reprinted here. The topic of “ Manual of the Vanni District ( Vavuniya and Mullaitivu) which was translated by the Government Agebt of Great Britin J.P.Lewis who was the civil service officer of Mullaitivu- Vavuniya- Mannar Also published by Pathmaseelan within one year. And also this book was introduced in Canada, France, Norway, Germany, India, Malaysia and Great Britin (two times).
Mr.Thurai Sivabalan , former student of University of Jaffna wrote a book on Tamil vowels(ana aana ena uagir mozhe) has been published in 2013 n London and Pathmaseelan has been invited and honoured as “Pilaiyaru Pitasutan”.
Due to the situation of the country, , Pathmaseelan has been suffering a lot. However, he continues his work due to the love and deep attachment of Tamils and Tamil Language. I pray the god for his fruitful service.
Thanking You.
