Here is an article on Sivan Sar from Kumudam Jothidam book.

Here is a link to a Tamil lecture by Sri Sundara Kumar on Sadasiva Brahmendra and Sivan Sir.In the first part of the lecture he talks about Sadasiva Brahman and about Sivan Sir in the second part.

Here he mentions a very important point. Sir wished that the Aradhana of Sri Brahmendral be celebrated in all the places where he attained Maha Samadhi. When questioned about Karachi, Sir says, if Brahmendral decides, the two countries would unite. Let us pray to Sri Brahmendral that he helps us to identify his Mahasamadhi at Karachi. We should also offer our prayers so that the hatred between the two countries is removed.
