From the beginning, Shri. Sundaram wrote all his books under the banner “The Yoga Publishing House”. By the early 1940’s the number of books that he’d written had grown as had their popularity.

This pressure made printing a bottleneck and Sundaram decided to start a printing press – The Sundaram Press on St. John’s Road in 1948.

The press was managed by Sundaram’s second son, Shri. Balasubramaniam.

Shri. Balasubramaniam was born in Ramanathapuram and after passing his SSLC, joined the printing press at inception.

He edited a Tamil bi-weekly paper called “Dina Tabaal”, a bimonthly magazine called “Sundrodayam” which was written by Shri. S. Sundaram and handled many other printing projects.
