Dasavatharam - History - Facts & Fiction
Movies and history, it is mostly 99% dented to fit the frame, while making the film. Dont blame them... it is difficult to go precise on history within a 3 hr frame. There are subtle mistakes and some gross ones. Some are pure 'ignorant'…

Haha.. this is funny, I was wondering if someone was to write why Kamal did not do the female too :-) Now come'on, the film was not bad as it is said, i am comparing with Shankar's Sivaji or similar. Sivaji was all for Rajini, pull R…

I watched the film, it was an entertainer - forget logistics, if we can accept Sivaji the Boss, this is no less good or bad. Some make ups were horrible, but if you are there for entertainment, Naidu, Grandma and Kalif alone will give your return…

Arunagiri ?The Magician of words? - Praising Lord Muruga
Hi SPS Thirupugazh is translated by many, Indians and westerners also. Each one gets his own interpretation. Pure literature wise, it is rich but the translation alone makes not much sense. However, if you read it with various views in place, it…

Arunagiri did not write the verses, it is very evident from his own works, i can write some beautiful verses of his works to validate my point, Arunagiri was dead the moment he jumped off the temple, who was the Guru Arunagiri is the other questi…

Arunagiri The Magician of words - Praising Lord Muruga
There are many translations for this specific one stanza of Anubuthi. Anubuthi is a brilliant work and my personal favourite. Each hymn, is very thoughtful, intense and deep. Here is what I believe in, it is long, I hope to keep it a bit crisp a…

Tamil Sangam - Facts and Ficiton
In 221 BC, a certain emperor by name Qin united China. He did that by no peaceful methods. RRC and RJC did the same thing. Earlier days there were kings and kingdoms, today there are religions and corporates. One fights on the name of God other i…

The avaiyar of sangam period's words have so much difference in avaiyar of Sundarar time. Look at the words of aram seya virumbu to setha kilapu senthamarayum (vinayakar agaval - detailed kundalini hymn with the agaram), they talk about two…

God is there or not there is subject to the individual but what exists without any iota of doubt is Karma and the math of anomalies in life. We have Newton and Einstien proving them over too. Substitute the words LIFE for SIVA and replace the lin…
