We are fortunate to have such a Scholar among us. He has opened avenues for discussion on Natyasastra, Saivam, History, Buddhism and Significance of Tamil New Year...
Hope we can look forward to get more interaction ...
On Tamil New Year names, I share Pavithra's concern : Why are they named in Sanskrit ... Whenever I visited Swamimalai, I thought of this..(the steps are named after Tamil New Years)
I have another doubt : (PLANET) GURU
It is one among the Navagrahas. Gurusthalam is Alangudi where Dakshinamurthy is the main diety. It is said that Sukran @ Sukracharya (Venus) is Asuraguru and Devaguru is Jupiter.
