good in bad, and vice versa
Malathi, I dont believe Skanda or Ayyapa to be a myth. I think time plays this trick to converting a legend to myth. Skanda is said to be prior to the time of Lord Narasimha during the Krita Yuga. While our time in history makes reality turn to…

WELCOME MR. PRESIDENT
We are talking India :-) We are a very old civilization, if history has taught us anything, it is to fight (within ourselves) and survive with the ruling class, be it gajini or asoka or RRC or vajpayee or kalam. On the other end of the spectrum, …

History has been made today, it just shows how America stands tall over all its issues. Crown jewel of the speech, a quote from history: "Let it be told to the future world...that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue cou…

Kulothungas sculpture found
Dear SPS: That would be an interesting comparison between the two images and that RRC painting. Like poetry, the sculptors/painters have a certain liberty, I am not sure how to revisit time on getting to a conclusion how they actually looked. E…

Incidentally, there is a pandya surname in Gujarat / Rajasthan communities. Just curious on what it signifies and are there any different roots that we should explore ?

Management lessons from Mahabaratha
Interesting macro. Enjoyed the compilation. The prime difference, from my view, was Krishna and his governance. Kauravas were far more superior in power and balance, in human terms. Ofcourse, Krishna alone, made the difference.

I am not sure what you are pointing at, but i believe Mdagascar was a part of ancient lemuria (for want of another term) to start with. It is definitely above sea level. You can google for under water sonar studies / explorations on the landscapes …

That seems interesting, even artifacts on land are lost in a few hundred years and humans still do not possess the technology to master the ocean and I doubt if they will even after our great grand kids walk on earth.

The Mythical land of lemuria was supposed to have been existant from 350Mil to about 5000 years ago. There have been many studies concluding that the large landmass broke into smaller islands. The last of the islands was to have submerged in th…
