  Sairam Viswanathan,
  

  I am sure you are at the service of Bhagavan Baba. Azhagi is truly a wonderful software. I live in Australia. I originally come from Srilanka but settled in Sydney. I have used this software and created many of Swami's Veda Pushpanjali Vedic Chants in Tamil. I type the chants in Tamil and prepare copies and distribute to people. Baba's statement 'Love all Serve all' is truly in action.
  Sincere prayers for the growth and well-being of the true inner beauty of Azhagi.

  I am using Azagi software for more than a decade. Very useful. Very versatile software.
  
  

• Thiru. Kolappan Nathan, Coimbatore in his review of Azhagi+ at alternativeTo
  

  It has a unique feature which *lets you add any fonts or language to it by editing xml files*. So practically it means it can type in any language any font in the world. This is one nice feature that other similar softwares lack, even the paid ones.

  Thank you
  

• Mr. Christopher, via email, on 9-Dec-2025

  Hi Azhagi Developers,
  
  Azhagi has been a great blessing to me, as I had no prior knowledge of Tamil typing. For a long time, I used a Windows laptop, and Azhagi was one of the main applications I regularly relied on for Tamil typing. However, I have never used it on my MacBook until now.
  
  Currently, I am working mostly on my MacBook, where I find it more difficult to type Tamil text for my tasks.
  
  Therefore, I kindly request your help in making Tamil typing with the Azhagi Mac application possible and hassle-free.
  
  Thanks
  Christopher

• Mr. Seshadri Nadadhur, Bangalore
  Namaskaram! Recently I got நாலாயிர திவ்யப்ரபந்தம் pdf file in LT-TM font, with a Mobile/Tab friendly view. But it did not have இராமானுச நூற்றந்தாதி. I had இராமானுச நூற்றந்தாதி in properly formatted word format but in Unicode Latha font. I wanted to convert this to the same look & feel of நாலாயிர திவ்யப்ரபந்தம் pdf file in LT-TM font and append it to it.
  
  One (dumb) option is to re-type இராமானுச நூற்றந்தாதி in LT-TM font, but its time consuming and prone to errors.
  
  I used the BEST option to accomplish it - I used Azhagi's UNIQUE Font Converter.
  
  Used the "Open an MS Word document to effect conversion in it directly" and in split seconds, I had the desired output - in LT-TM font with original formatting and pictures intact.
  
  Absolutely thrilled. Azhagi's Font Converter is simply super - universally first of its kind. Thanks to Viswanathan Balasubramanian for this brilliant free package.
  ... .. .
  Sharing the converted file.
  
  
  
• Ms. Yamuna
  Vanakkam Mr. Viswanathan,
  

  I discovered Azhagi yesterday evening after a Google search "type in Tamil in MS word" and am so delighted to have come across this incredible piece of software. Installation was a snap, the instructions to get one started were so simple that I was able to get to my task with no learning curve. The translation table for tamil characters on a qwerty keyboard on your main page was enough to help me complete my task well. I was so happy with the software that I wanted to find more about the people behind it. I have no words to tell you how inspired I am by your life and work. My heartfelt thanks to you. Your words of advice in the interview were addressed to youth, they speak clearly to everyone, and I hope to keep them in my heart as I navigate my path. I want to wish you joy, success, long life, but most of all I pray that you'll abide in the turiya jnana state that you are seeking.

• Mr. Rajesh Williams (in Dec 2014)

I have modified the key map settings as per your advice and its working. kaU - കൗ

• Mr. Bejoy Misra (from Puttaparthi, in Jan 2015)

This is to congratulate you for the multi language Azhagi tool you have developed.

• Mr. Saurabh Dua (from Delhi, in Nov 2015)

Respected Sir,

I have been able to discover an RTI Activist within me only because of your Software--The Great-Great Azhagi+. Now Iam able to draft an umpteen RTI Applications using my Mother tongue--Hindi & all Credit for this Comfort, Composure & Confidence goes to you Sir! :) You have been blessed with great levels of humbleness, simplicity & modesty. Though my System is equipped with Multiple Application softwares such as Google Transliteration tool, Microsoft variant & alike, I always find a satisfaction of "Doing something Real & Sincere" only with Azhagi+. With rest of the options, it gives a typical feeling of --"Spoon feed"! Hence, Please accept my "Saashtaang Dandvat Pranam" for the divinity within you. Thank you very much Sir! :)

• Mr. Saurabh Dua (from Delhi, in Sep 2015)

Respected Sir,

I would like to extend my Heartiest gratitude to you and to your Noble effort which transpired in the form of Azhagi for the World.

In spite of an 'N' no. of innovations from the Multi-National Brands (Google & Microsoft), I continue to adore Azhagi+ as "The Only" method to type in my Mother Tongue -- Hindi.

On this occasion of "Hindi Divas", I would like to offer a 1000 salutes to your selfless efforts, dedication & a persistent commitment for this cause.

Thank you so very much Sir!

• Mr. Rajesh Williams (in Jan 2015)

Happy new year 2015

Thank you for developing Azhagi + which made Malayalam Typing very interesting. I had tried so many Malayalam typing softwares available in net since 2008 but none was easy / lack of support / not getting alphabets / combinations, etc. Now I am able to type Malayalam in Word document with Azhagi+ and also able to type Malayalam directly in Google also without using Google transliteration. പുതുവത്സരാശംസകള്‍ 2015. May this new year the whole Viswam (world) use Azhagi+.

• Mr. Satish Chandra (in June 2015)

Wish you all the best and may god grant you more strength and vigor to pursue whatever you want to pursue.

Transliterating is a piece of cake with Azhagi+ now. I can swing from Tamil to Kannada to Sanskrit and Gujarati.

You have no clue what you did to me.

Recently I read a {blog} post in Telugu, through which I could get to know about your what should I say... FANTASTIC, WONDERFUL site https://azhagi.com.

  Dear Mr. Viswanathan,
  
  Congrats ....!
  
  Your product - Azhagi Tamil Transliteration software - is certainly a great boon for Tamil and Tamil community.
  
  Recently I was introduced about your product by a friend of mine. Ever since I have started using it, I find it extremely easy and useful.
  
  For school and college students, whenever I used to give lectures or guest lectures there was no choice for me other than to prepare and present ppts {PowerPoint Presentations} in English language. This had its own constraints as most of the students from rural areas in and around Villupuram have limitations in understanding and following English ppts.
  
  But now, with your software, I am able to prepare ppts in Tamil and it has wonderful effect on the students as they are able to follow and understand the contents of the presentation and lecture/messages in full.
  
  Sample Tamil presentation slides made with your software is enclosed.
  
  Please do accept my sincere heart felt thanks, congratulations and best wishes.
  
  I am sure your contribution will ever be remembered by the Tamil community all over the world.
  
  Though it may not match your Himalayan level of contribution to Tamil, in a small way I have made it a point to acknowledge and express my sincere thanks of the use of Azhagi software, in all the ppts made with your software.
  
  I pray the Almighty for your health and bestow you a long life to contribute more to our community.

  Dear Sri. Viswanathan,
  
  Thanks for the Azhagi software and your noble heart. Providing such software for free is really great !
  
  Few families in Melbourne are having Satsang about Sri.Bhagavan Ramana's work of 'Naan Yaar?' and 'Self-Enquiry'. Since we are having the discussion in Tamil, we are using Azhagi for preparing notes, etc.
  
  The Unicode support of Azhagi is really excellent.
  
  Thanks once again for your noble contribution.
  
  
• Mr. AGS, Chennai
  Hello Mr. Viswanathan,
  
  Excellent work from you...!!! I have been a regular user of Azhagi.
  
  Two years ago, I was just browsing the net for some Tamil fonts to learn to type in tamil. But, luckily and fortunately, came accross Azhagi...!!! Once I tried it, HAD FALLEN IN LOVE WITH IT...!!! :-) Seriously one of the best softwares that I have come across. Thanks for the great help...!!! Very useful software for me. Wanted to write to you long back... Now, I am pouring out everything from my heart...!!!
  
  ...It is difficult to be without Azhagi. Azhagi not only was useful for my work (I am an aspiring singer, music director and a sound engineer) but also made me look high in public. I used to take song lyrics and other stuff in Thamizh (generally people get it in English) which many people have appreciated. That wouldn't have been possible without you...!!!
  
  Thank you very very very much Mr. Viswanathan.
  
  With lots of Respect,
  AGS
  
  
• Mr. Ganesh Chandra, New Jersey
  Thanks a lot vishy. Azhagi worked like a charm. I was able to convert 108 text files (in Tscii) to Unicode in less than 1 minute. I was reluctant to convert them manually for the last 3 months. :) Conversion took place without any loss in encoding or letters.

  Recently, I translated our Vicariate of Arabia's Bishop's Lenten letter into Tamil and got it printed 10,000 copies and distributed to our less privileged brethren who cannot read or write English.
  
  I am thankful for this product which makes things so easy for me. You deserve the accolades & awards you have received. May God bless you with good health and long life to continue your good work.

  I am a serious blogger for nearly 2 years and at various points of time I tried different things to have some Tamil sentences in my blogs. I have asked for help from so many friends/forums but nothing was satisfying to me and didn't accept any of the solutions. Finally I stumbled upon your product through my brother-in-law and in one word - it is awesome - it is exactly what people want.
  
  It is simply applying "common sense" and most of the world successes are just by applying simple "common sense". Hats off to your team.

  I am already spreading the word. Thanks for bringing up such a software for my mother tongue.
  
  
• Mr. Raghavan, Chennai

• Rev. Mr.S.M.Jothi Raj, Hyderabad

  I am in Hyderabad. Many of you who are in Tamil Nadu may not know how great work Brother Viswanathan has done for us all. Long back, there was only one Tamil Letter Press in Hyderabad with fewer fonts. We had to compromise with many things to get the things done in Hyderabad itself. Then later someone started an Offset Press with a part-time Tamil composer. He used to take his own time for the work and also used to charge more for pages and again with fewer fonts. Again, the printing charges too were very high. We suffered a lot when it comes to printing anything in Tamil. For big work, we used to send them to Tamil Nadu which took lots of trouble, time and spending.
  
  Now we do the whole thing with Azhagi at home. It became easy and very convenient. As I don't know perfect page making, I take this to my DTP man, sit with him one or two hours and finish the work. Printing can be done in any press.
  
  Brother Viswanathan has done a very great job to the Tamil Community which is away from Tamil Nadu, living in other parts of India and World.
  
  My prayers are always for him and with him in this great work for the people.
  
  
• Mr. Ramesh Sadasivam, Chennai

  		I was recently introduced to Azhagi+ by a friend of mine, who has been using the software in his work for the past few years. 
  
  		Till the introduction, I was using 'Google Transliteration' for most of my work. Recently, as my volume of work increased, which had quite few conversion from Grantha script into Thamizh script, I started using Azhagi+ software. 
  
  		I must admit, this has blown my mind away. It is an excellent piece of architecture you have built. May God bless you abundantly for doing this yeomen service to humankind.
  
  		As I mentioned earlier, these days my work revolves around Grantha scripts and their conversion to Thamizh. I predominantly use the Tamizh font "LT-TM-Ashwini Regular". This is the font my printer is also using in his printing works.
  
  		With Azhagi+, my life became easy and the conversions are happening in a jiffy. ... .. . ... .. .

  		Amazing!
  		 
  		I have tested it briefly.
  
  		The letters do appear perfect. Azhagi typing involves more keystrokes than Google Input. But the latter has many limitations, though I have been thankfully managing my writing with it for the past one decade. More keystrokes are unavoidable, considering Malayalam is a mix of Sanskrit and Dravidian script.
  
  		One will get used to Azhagi Malayalam typing within a few days. For retired people like me, it may take some more time. It's okay.
  
  		Since I am a senior citizen and I cannot tolerate the present-day Malayalam script appearing in newspapers, periodicals and even text books, Azhagi provides me with the real pleasure of writing Malayalam that my generation had learnt in the sixties. I use a font by the name Rachana. Now this font and Azhagi have given me perfect results. Good old Malayalam! Thank you! ... .. .         
  		
  		The Azhagi project is obviously a Herculean task neatly accomplished.
  
  		Congratulations.
  
  		Wishing you success and glory in your future endeavours.

  		I just went through founder's resume. I want to inform him that I started using this software for translating works of Derick Prince Ministries in Tamil. I am using Azhagi mainly for spiritual activities of my Church. I am also praying for you with fasting every Friday. I may also inform you that my niece Sylvia Lydia was a colleague and friend of your wife ... .. . May God who rewards actions done in secret will continue to bless you and your family including your wife and son. Praise the Lord!

  		Currently for hindi, I found it working perfectly in Ms-word but have a problem in Adobe Indesign. In Attachment 2 shows Word but 1 is from indesign. I will keep reporting whatever bug I find, so that you can fix it, to make Azhagi more useful, which can help millions. ... .. .

  		Dear sir and users of azhagi,  
  
  		I was using Azhagi software from 2000 in Delhi. I was a bank manager and I have passed English and tamil typewriting both high speed first class.  
  
  		After release of Azhagi I am using the software. This is a flexible software. Whatever you are thinking in your mind, Azhagi software will bend. I was publishing books in Tamil and Sanskrit and English. Such a most user friendly software you cannot get outside even, paying money. 
  
  		I used in Photoshop, Pagemaker, Coral Draw, Autocad platforms and I am successful in all these. 
  
  		I want  everybody to share their experience and spread it to the world. One software will cover maximum languages.
  
  		A single person Mr. Viswanathan created and most of the dtp operators, high level power point presentators are benefitted. 
  
  		I have completed Vishnu Sahasranamam in three languages using this software. 
  
  		Kudos to the author and his followers. 
  
  		Thank you
  		Gopalakrishnan

  		Note: Some of the testimonials above were posted in Facebook Group in the past and the posters are now not on Facebook [OR] the facebook BOT (automated program) deleted the post(s) carrying their comments mistakenly (sad!).
  				
  						
  		

NOTE

As ever, All Glory and Thanks to the Lord Almighty only. For ever.
Azhagi free apps are God's Own Apps. They are HIS. So, they are not mine. They are everybody's.
As for me, I always strive to remain a non-entity, which in reality, I am indeed.
Sarvam Sri Krishnarpanamastu. Hare Krishna!

So, if users praise Azhagi/so-called-viswanathan, I feel they are praising the Lord.
If users are feeling excited/happy about Azhagi, I feel they are feeling excited/happy thinking of God.
If users are thanking Azhagi/so-called-viswanathan profusely, I feel they are infinitely thanking the Lord Almighty.
If users are blessing Azhagi/so-called-viswanathan-and-his-family, I feel they are blessing the whole of humanity, the whole Cosmos.

Sarvam Sri Krishnarpanamastu. Hare Krishna!

So, if you rightly see, testimonials serve as a source of inexpressible happiness/satisfaction/gratitude expressed by the users for the Lord Almighty, thanking Him, adoring Him and singing His eternal Glory, for 'His Azhagi'. This, in turn, is a tremendous source of happiness and joy for all of us (as children of the Lord Almighty) to rejoice at the happiness/gratitude of the users for 'His Azhagi'. So, testimonials have nothing to do with me, the 'so-called' viswanathan. Me, as a doer or entity or any separate individual, does not exit at all, in reality. The so-called viswanathan is a non-entity. That is the way I perceive it and I strive to live by the same.

Well, the aforesaid immense joy experienced in the thanking/glorification/adoration of the Lord Almighty serves as catalysts for the non-entity viswanathan to give more and more goodness# to the society by continuing to enhance Azhagi Reading the testimonials serve as catalysts to the users too - to explore the features of God's Own Azhagi, as much as they can, and thus reap as much benefits as they can (not just for themselves but more importantly for this society as a whole).

So, with the above in context, esp. "the societal benefits for the whole of the Cosmos", I have posted above a few samples out of the very many appreciative hearty feelings shared by users/wellwishers via Email, Whatsapp, Facebook messenger, etc. I have received these from various quarters, from around the globe - regarding Azhagi's immense 'usefulness', ease of use, speed and unique/special features. I reiterate: For everything related to Azhagi, all Thanks and Glory to the Lord Almighty only. To the Lord Almighty alone. For ever. As for me, I 'strive' to remain as a non-entity only. I repeat:

As ever, All Glory and Thanks to the Lord Almighty only. For ever.
Azhagi is God's Own App. It is HIS. He is the sole Doer of Azhagi.
In other words, I am not the doer of Azhagi. So, it is not at all mine.
As for me, I ever strive to remain a non-entity only.
Sarvam Sri Krishnarpanamastu. Hare Krishna!

"All work is God’s; He inspires, He helps, He executes, He enjoys, and He is pleased."
- Beloved Baba

Well, if anyone reading the above still feels that 'I shall consider myself as an instrument of the Lord Almighty' only and hence there is always an element of entity-ness attached to me (however infinitesimal I might consider it to be), then I wish to share the following feelings of mine (with such brothers and sisters):

---

Azhagi is indubitably an unmatchable Prasāda from the Lord to all and everything.
(whereas)
Allowing even me, an utterly worthless entity, to engage in doing/enhancing such a 'lofty work' (SatKarma) like Azhagi, as an instrument of Him, is nothing but 'iRaivan poatta pichchai' (இறைவன் போட்ட பிச்சை) to this worthless entity, owing to His Infinite Mercy. That's all I can say. Also, what a colossus of a worthless entity I must have been, in the past 100s and 1000s of jenmas too, so that I have got born yet again in this jenma too. And still, in this jenma too, I have not yet attained God-Realisation! What to say! Sairam..... Praying (from the very depths of my heart) for GOD-realisation for ALL, at this very moment itself. Sairam..... OM Shanthi Shanthi Shanthi (praying for peace for all at all 3 levels - spiritual, mental and physical). Sairam.....

"For millions of years you have slept. This morning, will you not wake?" - Sant Kabir

"Love ALL Serve ALL" - Beloved Baba

"Let us consider chamatkara, acts that attract and cause wonder. You see a flower. You long to hold it in your hand only when its colour or fragrance is attractive. You enter the market and see heaps of fruits. If the fruits are not attractive, you have no urge to eat them and benefit from them.

Attraction is the very nature of the Divine. Once the person is drawn near, the process of samskara (transformation) starts. Without this, man remains fallow and feeble. He has no dignity or personality.

A worthless steel lump is transformed by skilful manipulation and reconstruction into a watch that is worth several hundred rupees; this is the result of samskara, which turned it into a useful tool for indicating time. Thus man can also be transformed into a noble, efficient, happy and disciplined member of society by the implanting of good thoughts, good feelings, good deeds and good emotions.

Such transformed persons will spontaneously engage themselves in the task of promoting human welfare. They will be promoters of the ideals of brotherhood of man and fatherhood of God."
- Beloved Baba (Divine Discourse, Nov 23, 1976)

"மனதைக் கவர்ந்து ஆச்சரியமூட்டும் செயல்களான சமத்காரங்களை எடுத்துக் கொள்வோம். நீங்கள் ஒரு பூவைப் பார்க்கிறீர்கள். அதன் நிறமும் நறுமணமும் வசீகரமாக இருக்கும்போது மட்டுமே அதைக் கையில் பிடித்துக்கொள்ள விரும்புவீர்கள். நீங்கள் சந்தையில் பழங்கள் குவித்து வைத்திருப்பதைப் பார்க்கிறீர்கள். பழங்கள் உங்களைக் கவரும் வண்ணம் இல்லாவிட்டால் அவற்றைச் சாப்பிட்டு பின் அவை மூலம் பலன் பெற வேண்டும் என்ற ஆசை உங்களுக்கு இருக்காது.

ஆகர்ஷணம் எனும் ஈர்ப்பு தெய்வீகத்திற்கே உரிய இயல்பு ஆகும். ஒருவர் தெய்வீகத்திற்கு அருகில் ஈர்க்கப்பட்டவுடன், ‘சம்ஸ்காரம்’ எனும் நல்மாற்றம் ஆரம்பமாகிறது. இது இல்லாமல், மனிதன் பண்படாதவனாகவும் பலவீனமானவனாகவுமே இருப்பான். அவனுக்கு கண்ணியமோ, தனித்தன்மையோ இருக்காது.

மதிப்பற்ற ஒரு இரும்புத் துண்டை திறமையாகக் கையாண்டு மீட்டுருவாக்குவதன் மூலம் அது பல நூறு ரூபாய் மதிப்புள்ள கடிகாரமாக மாற்றப்படுகிறது. அது நேரத்தைக் காட்டும் ஒரு பயனுள்ள கருவியாக மாற்றப்பட்டது சம்ஸ்காரத்தின் விளைவே. இங்ஙனம், நல் எண்ணங்கள், நல் உணர்வுகள், நற்செயல்கள் மற்றும் நல் உணர்ச்சிகளை பதிப்பதன் மூலம் சமுதாயத்தின் ஓர் உன்னதமான, திறமையான, மகிழ்ச்சியான, ஒழுக்கமான உறுப்பினராக மனிதனையும் நல்மாற்றம் செய்ய முடியும்.

இத்தகைய நல்மாற்றமடைந்த மனிதர்கள், மனித நலனை மேம்படுத்தும் பணியில் தன்னியல்பாகவே தங்களை ஈடுபடுத்திக் கொள்வார்கள். ‘மனிதர்கள் அனைவரும் சகோதரர்கள், இறைவனே அனைவருக்கும் தந்தை’ என்ற இலட்சியக் கொள்கைகளை முன்நிறுத்தி செயல்படுபவர்களாக இருப்பார்கள்."
- அன்பு பாபா (தெய்வீக அருளுரை, நவம்பர் 23, 1976)
