He came in close association with Swami Chinmayananda and became ardent follower between the years 1959 and 1969. He was mentored by Swami Chinmayananda’s then principle disciple Sri Brahmachari Natarajan, who later on became Swami Dayananda Saraswati on his own right. Sri Brahmachari Natarajan encouraged C.S. Moorthy to read Mr. Jiddu Krishnamurti's books. In the year 1970, Sri C.S. Moorthy had a chance to attend the public lecture by Mr. J. Krishnamurti. This lecture inspired C.S. Moorthy and he became a great admirer.
