Kumari Kandam
Guys, apologize if I trigger emotions. In my opinion, there was no such thing as a "Tamil Sangam" in Madurai or in ancient Tamilnadu. Because, none of the anthologies were composed ( meaning collecting individual songs, collating, editing…

Question about firearms..
Dear All, The earliest reference of use of fire(arms) in ancient warfare appears in Tolkappiam Stanza 7, section 2. Puraththinaiyial in Porulathikaram as: ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ ï¿½ï…

Aippasi Sadhayam ::
For me, nothing is as satisfying as reading a book. In yesterdays Dinamalar,there was a 1 page article about Dinamalar Editor Krishnamurthy's new book on Sankam Age coins found at Srilanka. Did anyone read that article? I have two books from …

One can see beautiful yali sculptures at Madurai Meenatchi Amman temple. Almost every pillar has got it... It is such a massive temple.

All we have on these is what western scholars recorded in the early last century where photography was not so developed... I hope a reexamination of these sites by our group will reveal many facts.. Let us plan for a grand gala expedition to the nor…

Ms. Swetha, please add the following suggestion too: Visiting Orissa, Benga, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, China etc., to photograph and record inscriptions of RRC, RJC and in general all Tamil inscriptions of that era. { It can be quite expensive…

PON VIMANAM :: THANJAI ?
I guess the Chola dynasty was rich enough to cover the vimaanam with gold plated sheets. RRC might have done it in later stage - ie after completing the temple, so the early inscriptions might not have mentioned it. Otherwise, it could have been RJC…

If we make it on a website, then the interest on the book will be lost :-( But a CDROM with a virtual tour along with a narration by a scholar such as Dr. Kudavayil will be an attraction. The CDROM should be bundled with the book.

Dear Gokul, After seeing the Big Temple, I thought we should bring about an exclusive, collectors edition book on Raja Raja Cholan. That could be our first project.

Chozha Army - Alexander
Any pointers to Rajendra's inscriptions found in Orissa / Bengal and overseas ? With photographic evidence, I guess, it should be an interesting article for www.varalaaru.com. If any team member wants to go in for an expedition in search of the…

Research and its philosophy
I guess the Tamil kings had atleast the courtesy not to destroy temples and places of worship. Thats why most of the temples and what ever kalvettu they had survived the waves of changing politics. Even the cankam age brahmi inscriptions carry the …

Organized trip to Madurai
Dear All, I will say a few highlights about Madurai: [1] The Meenatchi Temple was built in stages. The core temple is as old as 2500 years. Outer structures are built by Pandyas and Nayaks. The 1000 pillar mandapam and the new mandapam are the maj…

BIG TEMPLE : PAINTINGS
About the young man who sang the Devarms - I really envied his simple life style and the innocent way in which he explained who he was and why he sang the songs. In the past 6 years of life in Chennai, I have never come across an individual like him…
