    Hi all,

    I am Sathya. Two weeks back I was just looking out
    some
    maniyam/selvan’s drawings of PS so that I can draw
    something to while away my time. Though I was
    disappointed for not getting the pictures, I felt
    happy to find out this site..

    Good work and I feel proud of being this group member
    as well as the one who has read PS, PK and SS of
    Kalki.

    I am a fan of historical novels especially written by
    kalki.

    My favourite in PS is Azhvarkadiyan. I liked the
    portion wherever AK and Vandhiyathevan fought about
    saivam and vaishnavam.

    Somehow I felt Kundhavai is very dominating in the
    story. Even balakumaran has written one novel on
    rajendra cholan. In that he has mentioned that she
    wants rajendra to be like how rajaraja was obeying for
    all her wishes and it had led some negative thought
    about kundhavai. I think the novel name is Anuki.

    Expecting more views on kundhavai also in this
    discussion.

    HI

    Great that this group reached 50 .

    This should go behond 100 ( so we cant tell this as 50% or pon vizha
    so on)

    This tamil years AADI month has started today. so i thought of
    reading PS again with its 1st chapter “AADI THIRUNAAL”
    Group mates , u can also try this…..

    And had any one been to “KAATU MANNAAR KUDI”( or udayaar kudi)
    I read that there is an important evidence (kalvettu) about ravidasan
    is the killer of karikaalan….?
    It says that after arumozhi came to power he somehow found that
    ravidasan is the culprit and as he ravidasn is a brahmin arulmozhi
    didnt sentence him to death but sent him out of chola kingdom…

    But still arulmozhi not able to find who encouraged ravidasan to do
    so…..

    ok paarppom
    love dilli

    hi Sathya,

    That place is actually “Kattu Mannar Kovil”, and if Kattu Mannar Kudi
    and kaattu manaar Kovil are same place then there is no
    problem.Please chech this first.
    Then ,There in Kattu mannar kovil there is very old shiva temple(
    constructed in rajarajans period) . There u can ask the ” Archagar”
    itself about the historical kalvettu.I read from the book that
    archgar will guide us to identify the kalvettu.
    All the best
    dilli

    Hi Sathya,
    There is a village called “Mela katampoor”( Remember Katampoor
    kottai ) near KM.Kudi, buses from KM.Kudi to Eyyaloor and Aayankudi
    goes to that place.
    There you may get some evidence.
    I know there are some remainings of a temple built in later chola
    period.

    Hi,

    Iam Viji just became a member in this group.I read PS when i was doing
    my 8th or 9th grade and still have been a fan of kalki.I have been
    trying to read his novels since then.So far i have read ponniyin
    selvan,sivakmiyin sapatham,parthiban kanavu and vanthiyathevan vaal.I
    would like to know whetehr i can get the latter two novels through any
    eshop in the net.Because my dad doesnt want to part with that so he
    has it in Madras.But i live in US so iam looking for it here.If you
    know any such sites where i can get these novels it would be great.

    I have been reading teh recent mails abt nandhini its really exciting
    to hear that there are still people who go crazy over this book liek
    me.

    And i have a few doubts?Do you know who is that lady who is poongodi’s
    mom(in vanthiyathevan val)?Because i remeber that she stays in
    Malligai theevu and she was once the wife of raja raja cholan,correct
    me if iam wrong?did raja raja cholan murder karkikalan?

    Hi guys,

    It is nice to see such a group and iam proud to be one
    in the group. PS la kuripitirundha yella idangalukkum
    poganum yendru nenaithen. But didn’t get chance to see
    all the place. My mom is from tanjore so i have seen
    the palace and periya kovil. I have also seen
    nagapatinam (my father is from nagapatinam). I want to
    see kodikarai and other places. It is good that you
    guys are planing for a trip. At present iam in US and
    will be coming to india only by june. Can you guys let
    me know when are you starting. If possible i will also
    join you guys.

    Anbu PS kuzhuvinarukku vaNakkangaL,

    I wanted to say so many things, but, for the past one hour, I have
    been trying to figure out what to say and in which order and how
    to put my words.
    Anyways, Let me start with thanking Dhanya, whose article on Feb
    14th 2002 was instrumental behind me starting this group. Her
    article which came yesterday has given a great publicity to our
    group. yesterday, every few minutes I was getting a notice in my
    mail-box that a new member has joined. Thanks to Dhanya and
    Santhiramathy for this.I’m sure our group’s membership is gonna
    increase by a much larger number real soon.

    On behalf of the group, I welcome all new members to our group.
    I’m hoping that we will have wonderful discussions about this
    Magnum-opus and chozha history in the future.

    Although it makes me feel proud at this moment to have started
    this group, to be frank, till date the contribution to this group
    has been very minimal from me. It is S.Gokul, KamalakaNNam.
    Sridhar Rathnam, Pavithra, Sumeetha and others who are the guys
    who contributed substantially with their knowledge and time.

    I dont think whatever words I choose would express how badly I’ll
    be missing the “Mudhal Yaththirai”. I’m hoping to make the
    “IraNdaam yAththirai” atleast:-)

    I pray for the success of this trip and wish everyone to have fun
    without any problems.

    Thank you onece again,

    Ram

    Dear all,
    Its very encouraging to see a group getting interested in our history and making a historical trip to the places.
    There is a saying, those who dont know their history wont be making one too….

    Best wishes to you all.

    Can I make a request, can you all try to discuss this in our mother tongue tamil.

    Its very simple to write mails in tamil, All you need is to download a small utility called eKalappai. Its free and only 999KB in size.
    Just follow this link. In 10 minutes time you will be able to write tamil mails.

    Mugunthraj,
    We had thought about this earlier too. A lot of people said, the are browsing internet from their work and they cant install these fonts. Thatz y we are sticking to English.
    may be, I’ll start a poll right now and if majority have no problems in reading/wrinting in thamizh. We shall do that.

    Dear Ram

    That was a very touching address..Keep up the good work.I feel the same about the mudhal yathirai especially knowing that Ill miss it by 4 days….Thats life.

    Will try the Tamil fonts but it may be a struggle as my typing skills are limited to one finger typing anyway.

    from what I understand we re from different walks of lifes from different places now that we have been interacting for a while Will it be nice for those who want to disclose their nature of work place etc…If they want to I know a few of us do it in all our mails…Just a thought.

    As for me I am a Registrar in Cardiothoracic surgery Long hours…tired legs and eyes in Birmingham.Love reading .Wife’s a paediatrician(who often wonders why is he spening time typing for the egroup when he has come home only at 2200Hrs.Little lovable boy aged 19 months.Parents in India kid brother Vet Surgeon currently doing Research in Arkansas and sister a dentist in Madras.

    The main idea is knowing each other at a more depth than email ids.

    Happy Republic Day

    Sridhar

    See you guys sometime

    Hi,
    Just to get back into the track.
    I personally feel, Kalki was a lil bit too late in bringing Ponniyin Selvan,the real hero of the story. By the time he came into picture, people were too impressed with vanthiyathevan’s ‘down to earth’ image and had started considering him as the hero of the story(atlleast thatz what I did).
    May be Kalki dint scorte that much in project PS as the hero? what do u guys think?(adichukittaalum PS-ai paththi adichchuppOm)

    Ram,
    Though the Arul Mozhi gives the name of the novel, it is definitely VD who is the real hero of the novel. And I loved the way Kalki introduces Arul Mozhi for the first time. It was so sudden and unexpected.
