Ratnam was a scholar and especially knowledgeable in the field of Ayurveda and astrology. He inculcated values and ideals in his children through stories that he would tell them steeped in the traditions of India.
-Smt. Vishalakshi was a woman with phenomenal inner strength. She attended to every task with perfection and epitomized caring and sharing. Honouring traditions, she   Nurtured the same attitude in her children.
-Growing up in a joint family with a simple lifestyle yet high values, the urge to care for others and spread happiness developed naturally.
-Even as a teenager she learnt to meditate from her brother and continued the practice ever since.
