Srinivasa Iyengar - an erudite scholar of Nyaya, Vedanta, Mimamsa, Tarka, etc.; his teacher during school days Gopalswamy Iyengar; and Maha Mahimo Upadhyay Krishnamurti Sastri (Poet Laureate of Madras State - a position that was abolished after Independence - Krishnamurti Sastri was considered as the Kalidasa of that era). He had greatest of regards for his teachers and gurus. Kaliyan Jeeyar was a gold medalist in Sanskrit Vyakarna and a Vidwan in Tamil. He was broad minded and a philosopher. He did not impose his beliefs on people around him. He did not differentiate people based on caste or talk ill about others. He had greatest of respect for scholars or bhaktas irrespective of caste, religion, or profession. Self learnt in music, arts, and sports - multi faceted - poetry, theatre, athletics, AIR news reader in Sanskrit in the early 1960s
