- because their dishonor was equivalent to the dishonor of the whole country. I guess, this statement, in the later context, led me to believe the dishonor of the women in scene. If that stood for the monarchs, it makes sense, but how does draupadi…

Malathi Just a small note Helen of Troy cannot be equated to Sita or Draupadi, that am sure would offend a lot of people. Agamemnon & menelaus did not go to war coz of Helen's virtue (there are 100's of reasons - mythical and non - …

PS Drive ..is it possible?
I am talking the filmy groove that has potent in these novels. Unless we have the funds and the convept (as it Lord of Rings or Harry or so on where we can produce sequels - prequels) PS cannot hit the big screen. These novels have simple yet inter…

Atlas Shrugged is an awesome book... for those who want to read it, i would not break the surprise but close to half the book, it would seem that the author is asking us to be selfish... The book is a revelation.

As far as PS Toon is concerned, a dispassionate view on the topic... the target audience if they are kids / young teens - i would definitely be curious on the data they have to delve into this venture. Going by current gen youngsters, this toon nee…

I think it is a good start. Some pointers though: a. Dress of the villagers during the time line seems more 'modern' (when they took care to identify the forest path/veeranam boundary etc to ancient times, I am not sure why this…

I happen to be gifted to have a few at my home, they are mystical and the very fact that they are ancient and something that not many can get to possess must be by itself a treasure. The cue here is, ammonites were not very slow moving creatures, s…

I have seen a similar picture in Mayan civilization, where there was a human sacrifice potrayal. There is a theory that the sacrifice is a symbolic representation. I am not sure how that statement is comparison with this sculpture. Interesting fac…

the third eye of shiva
Malathi: That is not always true, real stories do become myths over time, only history were to tell as the knowledge gets lost over time. Tripura here may not be the same but could have been named after the Maya architected city.

One birth of Kumara sambhavam is due to the opening of 3rd eye, which is the post event of burning of Kama followed by Tiripura burnt (It is said in tirupugazh (song on Kathirgamam) that - poruthar parithar sirithar erithar nuthar parvaiyile pin) go…

It is not scary but happens on a purpose, in this case, the event was planned for Kumaara Sambhavam. For enlightment to be born, the aphrodite must be burnt with the energy force of focus between one's eyes... Does that mean something :)

The type (and quantity) of people who visit Tirupati is very different from the crowd elsewhere. Only other centers of such force at a shade lesser quantity maybe, are Sabarimala and Palani - ofcourse both do have 'vacation' times. The T…

This again takes us back to the thought of Bala. Bala is very unique, it is said to be the energy force of all the deities we pray. Bala is primarily attributed to Maha Vishnu's power(shakti) as the athi devetha. Bala is beyond any sex as God…

Muruga is actually the combined unit of Narayana and Sankara-Shakti in reality, it is said as Siva Balan Udithanan not pirandhan. Our favourite Perumal has the uncanny way of giving darshan to all his devotees as they want to see him in the deepest…
