Vedanayagam Pillai was a Tamil Christian by birth.

Vedanayagam Pillai was born On October 11, 1826, at a village called Kolathur in Tiruchi district,
On completing his education, Vedanayagam joined the Tiruchi court as a record keeper and soon got promoted as a translator
A quick learner, he learnt Sanskrit, French and Latin and also used every opportunity to acquaint himself with the law books

In 1856, he wrote an examination to qualify as district Munsiff.

Vedanayagam Pillai was proficient in Music too.
The great musicologist Abraham Pandithar, a contemporary of Pillai paid him compliments. "Vedanayakam Pillai of Mayuram was a celebrated Vidwan in Tamizh and Sangeeta Sahityam and a good player on the Veena.

The great Tamizh Composer Gopalakrishna Bharati was charmed by the songs of Pillai. It is said that Vedanayagam sang every one of his compositions, as soon as it was created, in the presence of Bharati, to get his approval

Each one of Vedanayagam Pillai's songs had a message to convey. He was a great champion of women's rights and education. He said that one should work hard for a living, lead a simple life and help others as much as they could.
He also reacted against atheism — "if there be a poet for a poem, a potter for a pot, an artist for a picture then there should be a creator for the universe," he asserted.

Tamizh poet and litterateur Meenakshisundaram Pillai and Vedanayagam Pillai had mutual admiration for each other.

Ramalinga Vallalar found a like-minded soul in Pillai,
the Mahasannidham of Tiruvavaduturai Math — Subramanya Desikar — held regular parleys with him on several topics. It was not surprising, for if Pillai knew his Bible he knew his Tirukkural equally well. For that matter, Vedanayagam Pillai was secular to the core.
.
During the famine that shook Tamil Nadu during 1876-1880, Vedanayagam Pillai responded spontaneously and generously to the desperate hunger calls of humanity. He contributed all the physical and material resources that he could generate towards the rehabilitation of the victims.

It was this trait in Pillai that led that master composer, Gopalakrishna Bharati, to compose a song, "Neeye Purusha meru" in Vedanayagam's praise. A tribute all the more significant for Gopalakrishna Bharati rarely sang in praise of a human being for any consideration
