Non-random-Thoughts : Dasavatharam â Kamalâs 12th Avathar!
Smt Deepa, You are right here. But just remember that Desikar from Kanchi and the main seat of the Acharyas was in Srirangam. And also, Desikar takes his cue only from Ramanuja who was seated in Srirangam. So the place from where they originated…

THIRUMANGALYAM
SPS Sir, Thank you. I get it. But one more doubt (Sorry.... adikkaadheenga :- ) ) In that case from the reference, only the males should be wearing a thali right?

SPS Sir, I am not getting what you are saying about the evolution here. I do understand the "maRu" part, but how does that mole evolve into a thread?

Non-random-Thoughts : Dasavatharam Kamal's 12th Avathar!
Thiru, I am really sorry to be so blunt. But this perspective (I understand that this is not from you) is at best a "humbug". If that is the case then why did those Brahmins take bath even on a slightest touch. I am pretty sure if for …

Dear Sathish, I dont find anything out of context in your question. In fact your question is opening another perspective which is very good for a healthy debate. Please note that whatever I wrote regarding the "thirumangalyam" practic…

Smt Deepa, Yes, you said it right. My views are the Thenkalais' position. And what you said about the Vadagalais' position is very right. However, please note that the Thenkalais do not take the guidance starting only from Manavala Ma…

SPS Sir, Every Ramanuja Charithram, starting from "ARAyirappadi Guruparamparai" to "Periya Thirumudi Adaivu" to "Divya SUri Charitham" all talks about this episode. All these are some where between 12th to 14th Cent…

I forgot this one. I do not agree with the words of Smt Jayasree where she says > The difficult anushtaanam (code of ethics) to aspire for Vaikuntam If this is true, then this goes very well against the verses of Nammazhwar, where (as quoted…

Vijay, I have said this before in our own discussions. Of course, I dont claim to be an authority on this. But nevertheless it is recorded in "kOil ozhugu" and other Vaishnavite works that Koorthazhwan plucked his eyes himself saying t…

Smt Jayasree, A great write up. As Satish said, surely Kamal "might" not have thought about these things in such finer details. The best one was your reference to "kAyEnavAchA.." and "sarva dharmAn parityajya..". Ye…

Rajinikanth to play Tiruvalluvar in Rs 50 Cr film
This is really intriguing, especially, when the Pope Benedict had declared in 2006 that St Thomas never visited South India, let alone Tamizh Nadu. He said that St Thomas had visited only to the North West region of India and Christianity spread …

Dasavatharam - Buddha Sarira ..
Wow!!! That was a great comparision. I had never looked into these Abrahamic beliefs in this way, except that the Noah's flood could have been a simile to our Matsya Avatar. Looks there are more similarities.

Smt Deepa, Great Words!! Sorry that I interpreted your previous posts, so literally. Yes, if we are ready to look upon in a Broader Perspective, even you and me and the entire world are avatars of Vishnu. If you want to term a Prophet Muhammed…

Satish, Thanks for the note. I did realise on reading it that I did not convey what I intended clearly. As you said correctly, the followers of Sankara are termed as Smarthas and not Saivites. But most of the later day, I repeat, later day (thi…

I too am a member of that group. I definitely agree with what our Vijay says. In fact I myself dont respond even to the extent I do here. One main reason that I dont respond there (purely my reason) is, typing in Tamizh with the uni-code or other…

That was a good question. This, to a little extent, corroborates my point that the Buddha Avatar mentioned in Srimadh Bhagavatham and Gauthama Buddha are not one and the same and that it is a clear case of mistaken identity due to the similarity …

Indeed these are tangents to the debate. Only that it does not actually touch the periphery of the circle. The mention of Prophet Muhammed in Bhavishya Purana was a later day addition. Or simply idaicherugal. So this carries no water. But who di…

Smt Malathi, The straight answer could be, there are no definite timelines for any Puranas, be it Vishnu Purana or Garuda Purana or any thing. Ask any religiously inclined person, he will readily say that it was there even before "kritha yu…

All, There is something more to this in Srimadh Bhagavatham than what I wrote earlier. First let me take the issue of Gauthama Buddha Vs the Buddha mentioned in Srimadh Bhagavatham. I did read some posts, like the one from our Vijay, in which …

All, Here is my two paise (In the true Indian Sense) worth. As per Srimadh Bhagavatham composed by Sage Vyasa, the Avatars of Vishnu are not 10 but 21. It also includes Buddha. But this Buddha is said to be different one from that of Gauthama Bu…

The Books That Changed Your Lives
The two books which changed my life are 1. Of course, our "Ponniyin Selvan" and 2. Thiruvarangan Ula (I see that our Venketesh has written the "Thillaiyil oru Kollaikkaran" inspired by this book. That is my next buy) Until I…
