I am presenting a short program on periapurnam panels of darasuram to the accompaniment of Oduvars in singapore on 18th july. It was a chance meeting with Kudavoil Balu sir thanks to Sps's introduction that got me introduced to these beauties about 3 years ago. I am happy that with all your support am graduating to presenting this on such a scale.
Please share with your friends in Singapore to attend.
Tks shree for coming over despite having worked the full night shift. The talk was well received by the audience My better half has done a great job with the handycam. Will upload shortly.
PERIYAPURANAM comprising of NAYANMAR episodes WAS A FORERUNNER TO BRING OUT HARMONY AMONG VARIOUS CASTE-SYSTEMS AND PROMOTE RESPECTABILITY ... ( Azhwars episodes - like Thiruppnazhwar carried on shoulders - also convey similar message... ).
Recalling Periyapuranam was compiled and promoted during KULOTHUNGA II period is a pride ..
DARASURAM PANELS depicting PERIYAPURNAM PANELS show that such Feel was kept in tact till Pandya invasion.
And With Malikgafur invasion the whole systems got upset...
While seeing the presentation, something else came to my mind.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO CONDUCT AN EXHIBITION OF THESE PANELS ?
To begin with in Singapore and of course in Chennai - Bangalore - with English foot-notes ?
Also I recall having seen some MYTHOLOGICAL Birds (depictions) mentioned in Iliot / Odyssy.. Greek epics.
Inclusion / elaboration will be an added charm.
and our dear Shriraman Rajaraman can definitely help us in translating to SPANISH - FRENCH too.
this can be one of the points for consideration to channelise our energy through PS CULTURAL ACADEMY.
Am planning to spread this Vedio more among students too.
Thanks. credit to satheesh and arvind - who are the pillars behind this as well. Their silent support and encouragement from dhivakar sir and good guides like you - am blessed.
