Over the course of his writing career, Thiru Vi. Ka. published over fifty books. These include "Manitha Vazhkkaiyum Gandhiyadigalum", a study of the implications of Gandhi's thought for human conduct. His "Pennin perumai allatu valkait tunai nalam" was one of the most read books of that period. Also very influential, albeit at a more critical level, is his study of the concept of Beauty in Hinduism, published as "Murugan alladhu azaku"(Lord Murugan or Beauty). His writings reflect the internationalism characteristic of Indian intellectuals of that period, a strong pride in Indian and Tamil culture, coupled with a strong belief in the unity and universal kinship of all human thought.
