sivakamiyin sabatham/ pandiyan's rathanaharam
Vijay, If that was the history about Pandiyan's rathnaharam, I read in "Kaviri Mainthan" that it was found during the time of Utthama Chozha. Though the narration that Kandamaran found it could a piece of imagination , atleast I t…

History of Murugan form Pre History to Sangam
SPS, I read it just now. That was really interesting. If there are vested parties, why cant we create an awareness. Can we influence it through the CM, who would definitely support anything to establish the antiquity of the Tamizhs. With so many…

Ramanujar
Muthu / SPS, Indeed whatever you heard/read about Ramanuja opening the temple for all the "Thirukkulathar" (Yes, that is what he termed them as... as belonging to the Divine Family, to give them the morale boost for all the sufferings …

RAJENDRA - I
Venketesh, I feel you missed my point. I never compared the invasions of Rajendra and Ghazni with one another. While expressing my anguish at Rajendra not being accorded the grandeur, he deserved, by the Biased (if I can say so) North Indian h…

RAJENDRA - I
SPS, You are right. That is why I thought for a minute before I coined the words "Instigated Wars". I am pretty sure, Rajendra I would not have felt, his own invasions, as a problem. But when some one instigates when his concentration …

decline of the cholas
Venketesh, That was a good observation. Presence of Cholas, would have made a lot of difference then!

decline of the cholas
Yes, that is what I read too. During the fag end of the term of Kulothunga I, the Hoysala King Vishnuvardhana did invade the Chola Kingdom and caused a significant damage to the credentials of the Cholas. Probably that was only a spark. But looki…

Dear SPS, Thanks for the encouraging words. I just read that and posted my comments in Dinamalar as well. I dont know if it will be published. However it is really funny to note that this person jumping to conclusions regarding Kamal's cha…

SPS (thank you. I dropped the Sir!) I had actually deleted the reply as I was not going to post it in the forum. Anyway, on a hindsight, I do recollect that it was only "araicha mAvu" and nothing new. So if you are still interested, I …

I never had any intention to carry this sub-thread forward and it was clear in my last para. Obviously this thread is also closed from my side.

Mr Vijay, Indeed it is Narasimha. But it is only Kulothunga I, who is the cross-over from Chalukyas to Cholas. Apparently, his successors would definitely have been caught up with the Chola culture and hence it is no wonder that Kulothunga II co…

Mr Vijay, If your intention is to conclude that ThirumAl is indeed a Siru Deivam, I can only say that, at best this is a Perspective. For one can show similar references where Siva is considered a Siru Dheivam. Have you been to Thiruvananthapura…

Smt Malathi, Precisely, that is why I started my reply saying "this is easily contested from a Vaishnavite perspective" and did not start with "Sorry you are wrong and the truth is....." For me, I would not believe the Sarabe…

Mr Venketesh, I agree with you here on the Karmic inclinations. But how does that lead to a pessimistic view. I only said that no one opposes anything and keep silent. I never said that it is right or wrong, though I used the word insensitive. I…

Mr Venketesh, I am sorry I dont understand what is the "pessimism" in my view. Please do clarify. I agree with you on the rest as you said regarding the proportions of the Govindaraja shrine.

That is precisely what I said as, the Rangaraja Nambi character finds no mention in any of the Traditional Srivaishnavite accounts. He is very correct.

Honestly, I have no clue about this. What I wrote is the Traditional Srivaishnavite account which says so. I have no dateline or any such thing.

Mr Vijay, Good quotes! Just to know a little more about Kulasekhara Azhwar, he was a King of Chera dynasty. He was a very pure Rama bhaktha and he would lose everything for the sake of Rama. It is said that once, when he was listening to Ramayan…
