Why I am an atheist? by Bhagat Singh
Bhagat singh was a communist by ideal, what else can we expect. (Though the article is definite commendable with logics even fails to persuade me) He was a National Hero,though he basically cut the golden goose by giving up his life, which I feel, …

Tamil Movies that impacted our life

There was one Valluvar, but many avvai's, Edaikkadar, I am not sure if there was more than one. Hence the thread connects these three people into one time line with two constants and one variable - logical conclusion here. Myth/legend is ab…

Valli has offered Fish , Thinai Maavu, Then to Velavan. Guha offers Fish to Rama (I am not able to find evidence if he consumed the same). Lord Narasimha is still offered meat at one specific temple in Ahobilam. What I dont understand is what thi…

Excellent note. I have read some place that Valluvar's thirukural was presented to the Sankam by Avvai and Edaikkadar at the por thamarai kulam in Madurai. I would agree to Virarajendra's time frame. Satish: Related to your note, I th…

good in bad, and vice versa
Ayyapa was Panthala crown prince. Skanda, I do believe did have an avataar among others as Velan - warrior. Both were physically existant in specific instances, I am sure we can find solid evidence as addendum when we dig back in time.

Domesticating of wild animals is not new to humans. No way a human can over power a horse or elephant in a 1-1 show of strength forget tiger etc. If Kumaragurupara can ride a lion, sure, Ayyapa can ride a tiger, I mean physically :-) 1 p + 1 p

VJ: Interesting read, if I understand it right, the author suggests that Ayyapa could be a Buddhist deity. I think its the way the author looked at it, there are genuine holes in analysis, for example, the similarities in the chants Swamiye sarn…
