Dear SPS and All I was watching Neengal Keta Paadal and something occured to me.. With all theclout we have in Sun TV KK and KK in Vanakkam thamizhagam which most of the general population dont watch Why not get Sun TV to do a segment or two on Periya Koil ...Instead of the usual newly weds they can interview scholars for a change or may be interview public asking them about the various saliaent features of the temple That would reach the world....
What do yo all say...
BTW SPS you havent forgotton the big temple shadow picture have you
After that Tanjore trip, we planned for 1 day visits around Chennai for prominent historical places, but nothing materalized. I guess everybody is busy.. Hope we could find time to meet again.

Thanks for your reference Sir, I will be willing to inform any member who wants to know more of Swami KaviYogi Shuddhanandha Bharati and his works. Many PS members have contacted me and have purchased his Keerthananjali containing 1015 songs covered in all Ragas, and in all subjects. We recently conducted free medical camp for the rural children and a science exhibition cum competition (on 10.12.2005) to instigate the children start love Science, rather than just mugging up the lessons. The display of science models by rural children was awesome, as it was mostly innovative,less expensive, also finding solutions to rural problems! We are in the process of developing a web site on Shuddhanandha Bharati as he is a poet, national leader, lyricist, dramatist, writer (500 books to his credit), dancer,who also wrote Natananjali, perucssionist (had wrote a book on Mrudangam talas) and many more.. The other members may find this ltr diverting the subject; Hence I am stopping here. Just to say that more of his multifaceted persona will be brought to notice by website, blogs etc.

Did this Kaviyogi publish the ancient Tamil Sangam treatise on music / dance ?
I came across this in some place. It looks like he published the first part of it and then passed away. Remaining parts of this sangam literature is gone into oblivion because of his death.

Kaviyogi has written a nice book putting silappadhikaram in its simplicity. I have this book - very interesting.

This is another book by another scholar. Sa.Tu.Su.Yogiyar (was it him?) did a great work on Kootha nool - part 1 and subsequently he did not take up the rest. Member srihari wrote a detailed mail and that is what you are recollecting !!
