Surpanaka does not advise Ravana to abduct Sita stealthily. She wants him to conquer Rama. Decision to engage in this unmanly/unaryan method is Ravana's own decision. He is not sure of his prowess. All quotes from Valmiki Ramayanam. - Surpanak…

I have explained the possibility and the reason that make logical sense. Calling a warrior of the clan who does conquer the worlds as a coward is not accurate. I can explain the questions you posed but i think the answer is already there. And as t…

Sir... ithu rombo toooo much :-) Ennamo pakathule irunthu partha mathiri solringa :-) Ravana was anything but a coward. He was an ultimate warrior and a brilliant strategist also. He has lost wars and learnt from them and eventually ruled as a supe…

On talking same lines I have read a few versions, yet to see a translator for the various languages spoken (including that of Jambhavan or Hanuman or Jatayu or the one eyed demon in the sea whatever)... Even during the battle sequences :-) So eithe…

This argument is apt - if the present day lanka is the lanka of Ravana ! What if - it is not :-) How do you address the counter view ?

I agree whole heartedly. Every one has a brahman or is of a brahman, the term is widely mixed up with the current definition of Brahmin. Veda gyana is an internal process not a literary one as prescribed, literacy just kindles the thought that is …

There is definitely a great dearth in the quality of tamil films that come through today. If the movie was Ramayana adaptation, the role of hanuman was a practical joke and made so stupid! Visuals (Sets and Aish were stunning) - End of Line as to g…

It would be interesting to compare both characters mentioned here (Gilgamesh and Osiris) with similar personnel in vedic times to check on the stories. Gilgamesh adapts a lot of events from Ramayana. Osiris on other hand comes more from the age of f…

Ramayanam before Kamban - 9
Sorry , I am not sure if my question was right, the answer is still eluding. Vaanmi is tamil - vaanmiki I am not sure. Naa has been converted to Laa, there are some base line questions on the Valmiki / Vaanmi theory surrounding chennai/kanchi plat…

I am not sure about the 'miki' tag to vaan, i need to see some references to it, in tamil it is vaanmi, any references to vaanmiki ?

Talking about Valmiki When did Vaanmi become vaalmiki ? How and when did the migration of tamil word 'Na' become 'la'? Any takers ? Vairam - any sangam stuff to accommodate here ?

There is something called as visualization. It happens with many places where a saint / rishi or spiritual guru, sees something from a specific spot and describes it to their disciples - which gets converted to stories and future sculptures even fur…

Hi I am not convinced with the statement that munivars are muni's. Dont see any proof on this that is concrete. Is there any genuine proof ? If yes please share. I have been following village spirits / deities and would be very keen to know…

Chromepet was named after Chrome Leather Factory... It belonged to Thiruchurathoor naadu (Tirisulam county). Saidapet was named after a Nawab of Arcot Syed Musalman. Lots of parable units attached to our history I guess :-) - R

was told that the tirumala deity is made out of saligramam. Do any of you know this? The Namam is of pacha karpuram, which has attachment properties towards the specific salagrama stone. I really doubt the crow bar stories etc, it could have very w…

Was Luv Kusha not born in the Banks of Tamsa (MP / UP border - Tributary of Ganges) Some thing is missing in the geography here, I know that Thirupugazh songs quote L&K in Siruvapuri and more data on it. However, the ashwamedha yagna to have re…

I am confused Is Munivar and Munisvar the same ? All the below names are of Munivars, not sure how they can be attributed to a Village Muni (technically a representation of Shiva). Please clarify! - R

and why are they stationed at the border :-) Why do they use the sword instead of a bow which is the traditional weapon :-) What is the backing behind this deduction?

An interesting aspect about the Narasimha is that he has no nails in the abhaya mudra. However, there would be blood stains in the palm. It is a curious depiction unless the blood (paint) stain is later addition. - R

Which is very interesting topic though. I understand the internal medicine that was done at that time and minor external possibilities for cuts and braces. Was there any surgery that was even performed ? If yes, how and which situation was that d…

it depends on what you say as a guru. The definition of Guru is only one, as in learning from everything. A physical guru can be for a period of time when you learn and outgrow, then you move on. The concept is to keep learning, thats the necessi…
