    I did not want to choose anyone for any role! Still,
    Ramya would be fine for Nandhini & Karthik cud hv
    suited Vallavaryaian Vandhiyath thEvan! The only
    problem is that both r looking a bit old now!!!
    karthik’s twinkling charm resembles VV’s character..

    Anyway, Ramachanran Mahadevan wants me to step in for
    VAnathi. I do not have a copy of PS with me now; but i
    am sure i remember Kalki citing a culvert (stone
    inscription)in one of the chapters (close to ‘VAnathi
    sabatham chapter?) about his reasons for including
    VAnathi; she did not ascend the throne (as per her
    vow) BUT she did beget the great empire builder
    (Rajendira Chozhan), as per the astologer’s
    predictions. This astrologer’s incident (with a
    crocodile and all that!) is certainly Kalki’s
    interesting blend of fiction with history.

    Let us analyse characters, incidents & narrative style
    of Kalki in our posts. That will make this
    interesting.
    Thanks.

    Srithar,
    You have mentioned only Female charecter’s love in each of
    the case either beauty or diginity plays a major role.
    Even in the case of Manthagini, we all know that Sundara
    Cholan was the most handsome person during that period and
    being a Deaf & dum Manthagini’s love towards him is to certain
    extent I would call as selfish.

    But “Senthan Amuthan’s love towards Poonkuzhali is abosolutely a
    great one and divine one. We can realise this from the
    conversation in which Senthan Amuthan tried to express his
    love towards her.

    Hi,

    I am one of the new members to this group. I have read 4-5 kalki’s
    novel esp. PS, Parthiban Kanvu, Sivagamiyin Sabadam, alaiosi & a few
    short stories. I shuld say that once u start reading these u never
    feel like putting it down. I read PS for the first time when i was in
    my 10th & even now once every few month i feel like reading it over &
    over again.

    Hi friends,

    I am the latest member of the group of Ponniyinselvan fans.
    I attended the meeting at Marina beach on 26th Jan.It is four or five
    years since i read PS the last time. Now i have started reading it
    again. May be enjoying is the correct word instead of reading.I have
    enjoyed reading repeatedly Sivakamiyin sabadham, Parthipan kanavu
    and Alai Osai.I am glad i have joined the group.

    Looking forward to get acquainted with you all through this post!

    Thanking you,

    V.Malathi

    Rajaraja’s famous copper plate inscription records the construction
    of the Buddhist Vihara at Nagapattinam, a major Chola port. This
    Vihara, known as the Chudamani Vihara, was constructed around AD
    1006, the same year as that of the bright supernova in the
    constellation of Lupus. The Sailendra king, Sri
    Maravijayottungavarman constructed the Vihara with the assent and
    cooperation of Rajaraja.

    For further details, http://tifrc1.tifr.res.in/~akr/crab_webtifr.html

    So did not Chodamani Viharam exist before Raja Raja came to power?

    Pochchu, yellaam pochchu…poonguzhali & sendhan amudhan did not take
    Arulmozhi to Chudamani Viharam, he was not treated by Buddhist monks,
    nor were there any puzzle regarding what happened to Arulmozhi after
    he started off from Sri Lanka….

    Aiyo…krupa, spare me this terrible fate- and also this terrible
    sirippu…:-)

    Manikandan- welcome, welcome. Feel free to share other historical details
    you come across (particularly with reference to PS). What you wrote was very
    interesting (especially about the Sindh route). Latha- great input- gave me
    food for thought…

    Dear friends!
    I thinking of writing some of the facts mentioned about ILANGAI in PS. Some
    of the facts are real details and some others are not-correct (to my
    knowledge) in someway.
    I can write one fact per day so that our friends will not get bored.
    So……. shall I start with the real facts and the present status? or the
    contradicting facts?
    I m waiting for your comments……. May be by personal mail to
    [email protected] / open mail to PS group.
    anpudan,
    Vijayalayan

    Hi
    welcome to the new faces..we have had quite a few new respondeants….

    Ram…Its a pleasure to remind the moderator that we need to delete the original messages due to webspace difficulties…

    Its nice to see quite a lot of projects starting off …but may we exucute them one by one…

    PS website…I understand we have to wait till Raja finds a system from Krupa and then make progress on development…

    Krupa whats happening to the dynamic conversion of PS(without font download)

    That was a wonderful debreif Poo..Just one question did Big Temple’s alleged bad luck streak start from then or before…..

    Its saddening to see what they do to our heritage in the name of mordenisation…those who were in thanjavur in the 80s and 90s will know that the wall mural paintings were scrapped off for decoration…they were around the velipraharam near all the lingams…

    Even the walking path was removed and destroyed…

    A Trivia…..
    1. In Periyakoil just in front of the praharam is a brass nandhi a small one near Hundi.If you place your thumb and index finger on the two horns and looked between your fingers and the horns you ll see the lingam however crowded the room is….try that next time

    Trivia 2
    You might have seen people closing one ear of the same nandhi and whispering on the other…thats just a beleif all their prayers will reach kailayam and siva without being stopped and questioned by the nandhi

    Gokul
    There is mention in PS that Parakesari and Rajakesari were very good kings in the same chapter they recount the greatness of the Chola kings Sibi Manuneedhicholan,,nalankili ,nedunkilli,karikalan etc.

    I havent forgotton the answers of the PS Quiz will be out soon been travelling to the states and canada

    Nothing more for now

    Like PS varalaaru dedicated for some activities……… shall we open another account called KUSUMBU to have to fight with each other. I really like the way you people hint each other and it is so different from what we ILANGAI Tamils do.
    Sense of humour is necessary in whatever u do and where-ever u go.
