Smt Malathi, That is easily contested from a Vaishnavite Perspective. It was true that no one was even able to near Narasimha due to the heat generated due to His anger. It is said that even Lakshmi, who is the embodiment of Karunya, could not …

I get to see some obscure characters. I am not able to read it in Tamizh. Can some one guide me as to how to get it done. Mr Vijay, Excellent writeup. For a Vaishnavite perspective, the story of Chidambaram goes like this (Could be a well exagge…

Mr Vijay You share my thoughts too. The stories of Vishnu getting ostracised by Siva, in the Sarabeshwarar or ThiruvIzhimizhalai legend and vice versa are, in my humble opinion, at best fictitious. I, for one, do not want to believe these Sthala…

Smt Malathi, Agreed, there cannot be another God. But as perspectives differ from one sect to other sect, this term "another God" came into existence and that is what I meant. As you are all aware, the look upon the only Supreme Being a…

Sonna Vannam Seitha Peurmal And the King ?
Mr Thirumalai, Thirumazhisai Azhwar, chronologically is said to have lived before Nammazhwar, who some historians hail as the contemporary of Vijayalaya Chozha, the first of the mediveal Cholas. So he must have lived some where in the fag end of…

SPS Sir, Thanks for your kind words. I will try to post some of them as I know. But as I conveyed earlier, I know very little and I will empty my bag soon. :-)

Wow, that is a news to me. Atleast we definitely do not have such an inclination in Tamizh Vaishnavism, if can say so to give an identity to the one followed by the Tamizh Azhwars and AchAryas like Ramanuja upto Manavala Mamuni

SPS Sir, The Chitrkoodam of Ramayana is neither the Thillai Vilaakam nor Chidambaram. It is somewhere in Madhyapradesh. This is were Rama,Sita and Lakshmana stayed for atleast 11 years before Sita was abducted by Ravana. One can google and find …

Respected SPS Sir, You have literally bombarded me with informations. I will try to analyse the possibility of a Chola King being the reason behind Ramanuja's exile. I request some time before I reply to this. I will reply to this within a…

Respected SPS sir, The Guruparampara Prabhavam is said to have been compiled sometime after the demise of Ramanuja. I vaguely remember it was Pinbazhagiya Perumal Jeeyar, a third generation disciple of Ramanuja. Ramanuja l l Parasara Bhatt…

Kallai matum kandal song
Yes I noticed that too. Incidentally, I heard that the name of Kamal is not Vishnudasan as claimed in the song, but Rangaraja Nambi. So a kind of "slEdai" and Vaali is very clever in praising himself :-)

Mr Venketesh, To answer straight, yes, the Thenkalai signs "were" prevalent and they were the only ones prevalent. I am not trying to be biased here but let me present just one proof here. I have already discussed the logic behind Then…

Kallai matum kandal song
Mr Vairam, You are already there. Yes it is a prelude to AshtAkhsharam and PanchAksharam. Just a sarcasm to say that 8 is greater than 5, even mathematically. AshtAksharam - Om(1) Na(2)mo(3) Na(4)ra(5)ya(6)na(7)ya(8) Panchaksharam - Na(1)ma(2) S…

Mr Venketesh The origin of the Vadakalai sect is a perennial debate going on between both the sects of Srivaishnavism. The thenkalais claim that vadakalai as a distinct sect originated, not only after Ramanuja, but only after Manavala Mamunigal,…

Mr Dinakaran, Let me answer your questions. 1. Regarding the Tatoo: Yes I saw that too. It is correct. The Srivaishnavites will bear the marks of Sangu on their Left Shoulder and Chakra on their Right shoulder. This signifies that, person has co…

I am a little confused here from Vairam's statement. However let me put what I know. Dravida, as said by Vairam, was indeed used to refer to the Tamizhs. It is not just Tamizhs alone, but the entire region south of Vindhyas. However it was …

Well, that was a really confusing statement from MK. Actually according to the Srivaishnavite Guruparampara which talks about the stories of all the Acharyas of Srivaishnavism starting from Nathamuni until Manavalamamuni, it is not Ramanuja who w…
