Author Khushwant Sing narrated some stories shared by Prof Kumar:
"I am not Raghavan Iyer who got a first class first from Madras University; I am not Raghavan Iyer who got a first class first from Oxford University; I am not Raghavan Iyer who was elected president of the Student Union. I am not Raghavan Iyer, the most brilliant philosopher of the East. I am merely a spark of the Divine.”’ In his evening meditations, he went over the same lines with a variation of the last line — instead of “spark of the Divine”, he said, “I am only a vehicle of the Mahatmas.”
