Ramayanam Series Completes One Year
I agree saurabh We need to complete all the places first and then put them in a structured format. For eg - Madurantagam. There were debates on who built that temple? Whether it was Aditya's son Parantaga or Vikrama Chola? For that - A fragm…

Shall we all meet the makers of PS and make a request? They may say commercial things. The best way to make the masses understand PS - Run the serial once again in a Popular Magazine during the making and prepare the Public.

As per Vastu One has to destroy his own house/palace in case of defeat. So, after defeat in election, failure in exams etc, one need to destroy his house. ( Eppadi, Kadai Nalla Irukka?)

95% siva temples face east ( madurai, rameswaram etc etc) 5% face west.( Rare like Thrisoor Vadakkunathan which faces North. May be one or 2 such temples facing North or South) Chidambaram - though famous for Nataraja shirine, the moola lingam is …

Please understand that in those days - there were not much jobs. Constructing big buildings was also providing job and developing economic activity. Those Kings constructed temples instead of big palaces for themselves. Temples served for multiple p…

INDIA DURING RAMAYANA PERIOD
Ha - I wanted to prepare a map - ie Rama's entry to Tamilnadu to Rameswaram. You have done that. But while completing the series, we will summarise and according to Thevaaram references, we may have to change the route.

Ramayanam before Kamban 80 - Rama and Ravana - views of other religions
I used that word because - Manimegalai uses that word throughout that section of சமயக் கணக்கர் தம் திறம் கேட்ட காதை. Intrestingly there are references of Advita as "Mayavadis" in that section

Rajarajam unlocking thevaram? That is a story. There are enough epigraphs to show that thevaram singing was in practice even in pallava period and pre RRC period.

Now i know why the tiger and lionpopulation is so low. Cholas captured them anduswed them in their flags and emblems. Pallavas did the same to Lions.

caste in rajarajan emperor
The first thing about vedic chanting is that it was more of a duty with life time dedication rather than a privilage. Tholkappiyum refers like " aruvagaippatta parppanap pakkam" etc and in that vedic learning was given as a duty for the ma…

Again w.o going in to the caste and other things. 1. The writer says that the references have come even in Tholkappiyum and the society was much different before that. Unless i read the texts before sangam and tholkappiyum which the author seems to…
