Where was Raja Raja Chola buried?
Venkatesh: My doubt is specific; were the kings burried or cremated. Probability of building a memorial on a burial site is much higher; but we don't find such memorials for great kings. I do not deny that both practices were prevalent. It is …

village which worships ravana....
This is not the forum for the issue vairam has raised. There are other places where this can be passionately discussed. It is better to close this topic before it gets hot! Sampath

Where was Raja Raja Chola buried?
Basic doubt! What was the practice - cremation or burial? In fact it is quite difficult to find a burial place for kings where as there are many 'brindavans' and samadis for acharyas, and religious sants all over India. Sampath

Good bye to chrome browser. It is a good browser and use it when you want to give a 'hot' or controversial response. It filters out only 'you'. 1. Is Manimekalai real or Kalki's creation? 2. Manimekalai fell in love with V…

Blogsite on sculpture
The Nava Thirupathis got a new lease of life becuase of the involvement and support of Sri. Venu Srinivasan and the TVS group. I was told that the temples were virtually unapproachable 20 years ago. Thirumangai Azhwar attained 'Moksham' in…

How have names changed?
Arun: This topic is haunting me too; glad you have raised it. The addition of father's name as surname must be pretty recent, perhaps due to the influence of the British. Even three generations ago, only the given name was dominant; the prefix…

most warlike of kalki's heroes.
It was a mock fight bet VD and RRC, at least there was no violence. But the fight between Ravidasan, assisted by VD and the Ara pirates in the ship is a real one; all the pirates are killed. All the sailors and the 'kalapati' were killed o…

Pot containing gold coins found
As per TV news, the coins have urudu letters and belong to the muslim period! The find came to light, after the mother and her sons could not agree on sharing, and the villagers leaked the news to police. Sampath

pride does go before a fall - man the Lehman Brothers
I am under the impression, cancer is man made - smoking, pollution, radiation - electromagnetic and nuclear; anyway the flavour of the day is 'back to nature'. Most of the diseases we suffer are traced to man made interventions. Everyone -…

Satheesh: Again debatable; per acre yields are so low sometimes as low as one-fifth. With less area and less people, food requirements can be met. As in US, less than 1% of the population is in agriculture, but feed the entire nation - not only that…

In one programme, she wandered through the kitchen of the Udupi Sri Krishna Temple, stirring dal and throwing coriander in sambar - and in the next segment she was cooking and tasting fish; highly incongruous and inappropriate. Sampath

Arun: As in most issues, both groups are right and both are wrong if selective case studies are taken up for arguments. 1. Gujarat has considerably incresed the yield of bio cotton, and is in no. 1 position in India. 2. Many paddy growers have also…

I have visited a 'self-pick' farm, near Birmingham, UK, several times. You can pick vegetables - potatoes, beans, peas, cabbage and tomatoes, fruits - apple, strawberry - eat as much as you want and pay only for the produce picked. How muc…

If it is GM rice, one dozen may be sufficient. Arjuna, while doing tapas, initially ate three times a week, then once in a fortnight and then once in three months before Shiva appeared. Sampath

One exercise recommended for the elderly, who are likely to suffer from head spin and loss of balance is - walk in a straight line; put your feet closely along a narrow line, e.g. floor tile joint. This type of walking tunes your balancing mechanism…

Rehman has also said in one tv interview that he spends lot of time listening to western music, and uses portions of it in his portfolio. The world including modern music is circular; very difficult to find the source. But there is no doubt that R…
