Old wine in new bottle
Thanks Lakshmi. Very informative. Is there any reason, a particular place name is changed in due course of time? The recent changes are mainly due to pronunciations of local names by the europeans - like ooty from otacamund from udagamandalam, tra…

Saathmeeka, Just to clear the cloud here, thevaram is different and thiruvasagam is different. Thevaram Thiruvasagam doesnt sound ok to me. Thevaram was written by Appar, Sundarar and Sambandar and Thiruvasagam is by Manikkavasagar. So if its theva…

Harmony - In lieu of the blasts
Indian Leader? Oxymoron for the current scenario in India:) I feel just making some one read and write (thats what we mean by education, right. we did discuss about our educations system in detail earlier) is not going to solve the issue. We can p…

Mahatma Gandhi's assassination denied him Nobel Prize
Good that everyone are in same line of thought. Though some actions of Gandhi backfired, it takes super human effort to make such decisions and gandhi alone could do it. No one can match gandhi... During my college days, when I read 'Freedom a…

Mahatma Gandhi's assassination denied him Nobel Prize
Yes Thiru. I read about this a few months back. The Assassination part - I dont remember, but what I remember is, it was rejected continuously based on the fact that, many a times his actions led to blood shed in the form of Hindu-muslim riots. So t…

Sembian Madevi & Uthama
Thanks to Swetha. A couple of years back, when i wanted to start reading Udayar, Swetha warned me not to do so and I followed suit. :) I think I made a wise decision to listen to Swetha.

A letter - of love and pathos
Vijay, Thanks for the clue, i came to know about Royal Mail Service. Though I dont understand the intricacies, my question still remains. If one travels in a ship and writes a letter, the RMS ship which carries the mails - will it be traveling alo…

A letter - of love and pathos
Thanks Vijay. A new perspective.... This raises a question in me, which I have been thinking for a long time and again remembered when I read the first line 'S.S.Rajputana'. How on earth can one post letters while aboard a ship? Even cam…

Ravana Vs Rama - Dravidian Vs Aryan
'ariyam pada thamizh pada'... May be, though Aryan literally means 'learned' or wise men...it was also used to denote the language sanskrit. Arya padai may mean the army of the sanskrit kings...you are right in saying so VK.. J…

Non-random-Thoughts : Dasavatharam â Kamalâs 12th Avathar!
V Venkatesh, I agree with you and really respect for your stand when you say that the pointers are strong but does not conclude anything. I think this is a healthy approach because its very difficult to conclude anything from the past and we can on…

Non-random-Thoughts : Dasavatharam â Kamalâs 12th Avathar!
V Venkatesh, Again with a disclaimer - I am no expert on customs and traditions (or an other subject :) ). If Andal or nammazhwar has not mentioned the 'thali' marabu in the marriage ceremony - did it come into practice only after 6th o…

Non-random-Thoughts : Dasavatharam â Kamalâs 12th Avathar!
I am no expert, but I am a bit puzzled. If the thali concept is from north brahmins, today's north indians do not have the same sentiments to the 'thali' as south indians. For North Indians, as far as I know, mangal sutra, is a '…

Madras Day Celebrations.
For our group, such things are food for thought. But the masses out of the group...I feel kollywood is feeding wrong history. Atleast the throwing of idol and saiva-vaishnavite conflict in Dasavatharam are true and the rest exaggerated history...I a…

Vaaram Oru Alayam #67 - Arulmigu Vilvavananathar Thirukkovil , Thirukkollamputhur
Thanks Nataraj for the post. Did Arjuna ever used his Pasupathasthra? i dont think so...if I am correct, its the most destructive weapon which when used will destroy the entire world....must be our modern day nuke.. so I dont think he ever used it.

Dasavatharam - Buddha Sarira ..
And ofcourse, we all know Sankara preached Adwaitha and when someone says everything is ONE, they cannot be saivites :) because saivism glorifies Siva which is again dwaitha.

Dasavatharam - Buddha Sarira ..
V Venkatesh, Followers of Adi Sankara, to the much thought of belief, are not Saivites but are called Smartha's. As you yourself mentioned, Sankara did sing Bajagovindam as well as sang soundarya lahari. So he never preached or practiced Sai…
