The Pudukottai Trip
Dear all... Glad that the Pudukottai trip is getting a good response. But I'd like to add a few points here about it: 1. The dates are still tentative. The reason? Mr. Swaminathan, who runs the Sudharsanam Institute in Pudukottai is going a…

Sivalingam - new theory?!!
Dear all... Yagna, that was an amazing explanation- I too have heard it- though, of course, I didn't grasp the whole meaning then. But it makes perfect sense. I suppose this is what they mean by 'saannidhyam'? Any more facts like thi…
