freinds, i must introduce you to this particular web group called [email protected]. this group is moderated by a malaysian linguist and philosopher dr.k.loganathan. he has systematically worked on all the saiva siddhantha texts from thevaram,thrumanthiram,vasagam, 14 sandhana texts, vallalar, thayumanar and siddhar poems. he also translated all the poems to english and has written scolarly analysis of the same. in fact he has explored the philosophical and depth psychological aspects of saiva siddhantham to new levels which has not been done by anyone so far. unfortunately he is not noticed by tamilnadu or tamil scholars.
he is also a scholar in sumero tamil. his works on the hermeneutic aspects of saiva siddhantham is well in accordance with the contemporary developments in psycho-analysis and post-moden philosophy.
it is my sincere request for everyone to visit this group site and go through the archieves to know about some very important achievements of our brother tamilians of malaysia.
