Anandabodhini (1915-1960) was a multi-flavor magazine published in Tamil by N. Munisamy Mudaliar on behalf of Anandabodhini Press. Five thousand copies were printed in the first year. Till 1960, it was published in various forms for 25 years with support from readers, and then stopped.
Background
In 1915, Nagavedu Munisamy Mudaliar started Anandabodhini magazine. It was run well with support from thousands of subscribers. When Anandabodhini was published, the process of distributing the magazines through shops was not established. For the readers outside Chennai, magazines were distributed for subscription through post only. It is believed that Anandabodhini had 5000 subscribers, which was a big number for the period. The detective series written by Arani Kuppusamy Mudaliar contributed for the sales of the magazine.
After Kalki joined Ananda Vikadan as its editor, Ananda Vikadan continued to be successful and grew into a large magazine. Kalaimagal magazine was also a commercial success. Anandabodhini gradually lost popularity and was published sporadically and stopped in 1960.
Litigation
Fascinated by the success of Anandabodhini, two more magazines were launched by others: Ananda Vikatan in 1925 and Anandagunabodhini in 1926. S.G. Ramanujalu Naidu was the editor of Anandagunabodhini and his strong writing skills exhibited its winning trend over Anandabothini. Since both Ananda Vikatan and Anandagunabodhini were in the same structure as Anandabodhini, Nagavedu Munisamy Mudaliar filed a case and received the verdict in his favour. Anandagunabodhini altered its structure and changed its name to Amirthagunabodhini.
