Hi friends,
Ever since i read ps, the amazing lure of Raja raja chola and his
meikeerthi/prasithi has been close to my heart. The project madurai
archives yeiled the meikeerthi source file ( its in our files section
as well) – so an idea dawned to have podcasts of each great kings
meikeerthi as they would be sung – with due considerations to my
tamil, i was bouncing the idea with quite a number of friends, till
vinjamoor decided to take on the challenge. Why i say challenge is,
the verses are complex conjoined creations and like a surgeon you got
to split them to come with the actual words ( padam pirithal).
However, wanting vinjamoor to do this on his own, i just gave him the
macro idea and he hit it out on his own. Credit to him, he has come
out with a masterly narration. Thanks to thiru again for helping us
and egging us on.

I hope you will all like this and join me in congratulating vinjamoor
venkatesh on his maiden effort. I hope this will spur him and many
more interested enthusiasts to do such and help preserve our rich heritage
