In this investiture of fleshly life A soul that is a spark of God survives . And sometimes it breaks through the sordid screen And kindles a fire that makes us half-divine. Savitri, Book 11, Canto V

from Coaker's walk-Kodaikanal, South India

'Kodaikanal' literally means, 'the gift of the forest'. The most
inimitable of things certainly, are natural. Cradled in the southern
crest of the upper Palani Hills, in the Western Ghats, 120 kms from
Madurai, Kodaikanal is located 2133 m above sea level. Special efforts
are being made by the Tamil Nadu Tourism Department to prevent the
commercialisation of this scenic beauty.

Kodai is very chilly now. The best time to visit Kodaikanal is in May.
But in Madurai-just 120 km from Kodaikanal -it is very hot now in
March.
