Sati in PS and Chola times
On the lighter side of this topic. If whatever has been said about the state of Widows in India (let it be movies or media or anything) is true and actually happened, then till recently, say a 100 years back, - 50% of the population would not hav…

PS Varalatru Peravai - New Forum Site - An Experiment
Thiru, Amazing work. SPS is right in saying so. Your contribution is commendable. I checked the link you had sent. The date of the post shows something wierd...it says Dec 31 1969. Anything wrong with the system date/time? I would not have notice…

PS Varalatru Peravai - New Forum Site - An Experiment
Amazing Thiru. Appreciable work. Hats off to your passion and dedication. I would suggest we need not abandon anything so early. We can have all things in place, so that one or the other gets listed in the search engines and attracts more members…

Aryan Dravidan Theory
Kalaignar uses this theory to a great extent. Logical thinking will clear all the clouds. As per the aryan theory, aryans are brahmins and dravidians are non-brahmins. But, in Ramayan, Rama is a kshatriya, a non-brahmin and Ravana is a brahmin. …

tanjai gopura kalasam n others
If I remember right, Dr.Rajavelu of ASI once told our group that the foundation of big temple is just 6 feet...they did drill and test it out and they were astonished to figure out that its just 6 feet. SPS can throw more light on this and corre…

A proposal for consideration: PS Varalatru peravai
Thats precisely my point. Physical meeting will be possible for people in the same location. If we can use teleconferencing, all can join. Thats why I said, we can do a trial run with our own members, who have better knowledge than others, so that p…

A proposal for consideration: PS Varalatru peravai
A very good idea. Would be worth if we can implement this. A thought on this - I know how difficult it is to work out the logistics, bringing the scholar to a common place, arranging a hall or a meeting place, consolidating members who are going to…

sujatha in anandavikadan
If I remember right, Sujatha's 'Srirangathu Devathaigal' has an article about this cricket match. I think Sujatha mentions how happy he felt seeing his photo in the newpaper the next day, though it was a local match and a local news a…

Amazing photos Venkat. Talking about forts in and around Pune, I think there are plenty of them in that area. 2-3 years back I happened to visit a place called Lohgad near Pune, I think a maratha fort..not sure. Its almost 2 hours drive from Pune…

article in hindu on big temple
Thanks for the link. The article speaks about Nandipuram. In my very first trip with PS team or rather varalaaru team, in Jan 2005, I got a chance go spend a day with Dr. Kudavoil. Infact he guided us through lot many places in and around Kudanthai…

Writer Sujatha died.
Oh...thats a bad news. If I remember right, 'Meendu Jeeno' was the first story I read at my young age, after going through the Ambulimama, Rani comics, Poonthalir phase.... One of the author I admired for a long time, until I was introd…

Long due group meet
eagerly awaiting the minutes of the meeting. Who all came? HOw long the meeting went and what was the topic of discussion? Did SPS came with the official drink and snack?

ANCIENT AND MODERN MANAGEMENT CONCEPTS
I am not sure but if my memory goes correct, there were quite a few discussion on Tiruvallur being Jain or Hindu during early 2005. I am not so good like SPS to pick and post the relevant mails...I really wonder how he does that :) But I think, i…

Karikal Cholan ruled TN before Nedunchezhiyan

tanjore temple in 1921
Yes a female diety. I think the legs and hands are broken. cant figure out whats on the right hand. Looks like a udukkai but not clear to me. Do we have the moat (atleast the indication of this) now? Or do we have a shopping complex there :)

Royal women power
Again, for us Mortals, Sundarar is definitely a kaviya thalaivan because inspite of enjoying all the worldly affairs, he was close to god. Worldly and godly are never seen together. I remember a story from Mahabaratha. Once Krishna takes Arjuna …

Thank you all, Your help is remembered.
Good to hear VK. Best wishes to her. This also reminds me another thing. Soon after your daughters operation, we all (Venkat, Siva, Natarjan Srinivasan, you and I) went to a short ECR trip and i think thats the last trip we or rather I went. my …

Architecture and Religion - Were the palaces really existed?
Good question and Venkatesh good thought process. Literary evidence, I think we have a lot. I think in Mahabaratha, there are lot of reference to horses and even in Ramayana there is. Atleast in Uttra ramayana where Lav and Kush captures Rama…

the women and the throne
I think I shared this information with the group long back. The SS book I have has a 'munnurai' by Kalki. In that he himself says that his 12 year old dream has come true. The seed for the SS story outline came in his thought 12 years b…

About RJC
Yesterday I read a news article and this mails subject line reminded me of that. Most of you must be knowing, but I was thrilled to know that India's long range radar is named as 'Rajendra'. Most probably APJ should have been behi…

the women and the throne
Quite an interesting thread... Venkatesh is quite right in his arguement that an author cannot survive only with his own experience. Creativity is the one that distinguishes a good author to a great author. Recent threads on Udayar - thanks to S…

Who owns the media in India? Interesting
I too came across this sometime back. But I was not shocked :) Comparing these with Sun, Jaya or kalaignar tv - I think comparing apple to oranges. These tamil tv's do not have any hidden agenda. They are clear to spread their party's v…
