Who is Nandini?
Dear SPS, That is an excellent analysis. My hats off to you for articulating it so well. I too have always believed that Nandini is Veerapandiyan's daughter, and she was out to take revenge on Karikalan, but why exactly she said to Karikalan …

1000th YEAR OF RAJARAJECHARAM :: 22.04.2010

Dear Thiru. Sankaranarayanan, I am not sure if this is in the same wave length as what your are attempting to do. My apologies if it is not. I have an old 3-volume collection (pages literally falling apart, given to me by my teacher who is now 93 …

Dear sps, vj (and others), Thank you very much for the prompt and complete response to my queries. Somehow I never thought that Periya Pazhuvettariyar is a fictional character; so I guess "pollaada Kalki avarkaL" successfully pulled the…
