Alleged music director James Vasanthan went on a verbal rant against musical genius Ilaiyaraaja, calling him a characterless and awful person with a sick mind.
During a musical concert in the United States organized by Google a few weeks ago, Ilaiyaraaja stated that he used to watch documentaries on YouTube in his spare time, and in one of these documentaries, they published proof that Jesus Christ did not resurrect after his death. He did, however, add that while he is unsure whether Jesus Christ was resurrected or not, he believes Ramana Maharishi was resurrected from death.

In response to Ilaiyaraaja’s remarks, alleged music director James Vasanthan went on a tirade against him in a YouTube interview. James Vasanthan said, “I have harsh criticisms of Ilayaraja as an individual. You can never see a man as awful as him. He lacks maturity. People including Rajinikanth call him ‘Saami’ (God) for his involvement in spirituality. When you delve deeply into spirituality, you should get generosity, maturity, and tolerance. But Ilaiyaraaja lacks these qualities and has also begun to speak awfully as he becomes more spiritual.”
He added, “For example, in a music event organized in the US for Google, Ilaiyaraaja abused Christianity. Christianity is founded on the fundamental idea that Jesus Christ was born, lived, was crucified, and then resurrected on the third day. There is no Christianity if you refute any one of it. Ilaiyaraaja, like a fool, claimed that he had no idea whether Jesus Christ had been resurrected or not.”
James Vasanthan stated, “He was attempting to assert that Ramana Maharishi is the only person who has been resurrected after death. Anyone with spiritual understanding and maturity would never say something like this. He can assert that Ramana Maharishi was resurrected after his death. But why should he compare him with Jesus?”
He further said, “I disagree with the claim that Ramana Maharishi was resurrected after his death. Several people proved that it is a lie. The director of a documentary about Ramana Maharishi’s life stated that similar to how many elderly people come back to life after epilepsy in 10 to 15 minutes, Ramana Maharishi came back to life after 6 hours. Let us assume Ramana Maharishi was resurrected. Will anyone speak like him? Crores of people believe in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. He is wounding all those people. He is not a historian to claim this. Ilaiyaraaja has a sick mind to demean everyone who believes in Jesus Christ. I call him the worst person because he believes that everyone else is wrong and that only he is correct.”
When the anchor explained how he unknowingly abused Ilaiyaaraja in the flow, James Vasanthan stated, “I know I abused him and I did it with intention.” He went on to say that Ilayaraja is a characterless man despite his achievements in the music industry. During the interview, he also stated that AR Rahman is a musical genius with a good personality, unlike Ilaiyaraaja.
It must be mentioned that James Vasanthan’s comments were riddled with inconsistencies. During the interview, he asks Ilaiyaraaja how he can hurt the feelings of crores of people who believe in Jesus’ resurrection by saying that the resurrection did not happen. However, in the same interview, he claims that, according to the director of the documentary on Ramana Maharishi’s life, Ramana Maharishi did not resurrect after death and that it is just a normal symptom of epilepsy.
If one argues that James Vasanthan was only quoting the director of Ramana Maharishi’s biography, then Ilaiyaraaja was also only quoting documentaries on YouTube that proved Jesus’ resurrection was a lie.
James Vasanthan also asked if a sane person would compare Jesus to Ramana Mahraishi. During the interview, however, he compared Ilaiyaraaja to AR Rahman, saying that AR Rahman, unlike Ilaiyaraaja, is a man of good character.
Musical maestro ‘Isagnani‘ Ilaiyaraaja has been at the receiving end of attacks by ‘Dravidian Stockists’ and self-proclaimed ‘Ambedkarites’ for his comments praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi and after he was made a Rajya Sabha MP by the Modi government. Those who identify themselves as ‘Dravidian Stockists’, ‘Periyarists’ and ‘Ambedkarites’ have been cancelling the musical maestro and even abusing him. James Vasanthan’s social media posts give away that he is a supporter of DMK and Congress and a vicious propagandist against Hindu/Hindutva.
Recently, VCK head Thol. Thirumavalavan too derogated the maestro saying “He’s forgotten the crown placed by the people and has been intoxicated by the ‘rudraksham’ tied by Kaavis (Hindus)”.
