Royal women power

Who is a better devotee?
Totally agree with Satish. Both shaivism and Vaishanism have similar examples all over the place. Krishna - Arjuna, Krishna - Yashodha, Rama - Hanuman, Rama - Guha, Rama - Bharata, Rama - Sugriva. Infact, Krishna is treated as a lowly charecter b…

saivism and vaishnavism
Dear SPS, Skanda and Krishna are not in the same yuga... Muruga is from the Yuga of Narasimha and earlier to the Great Lord. It can be said as both did something like 'Udhithanan', oruvar netri kan pilanthu arum peru theeyaai uthitha…

Architecture and Religion
Gopuram's are indicators of Temples, they point the people in the direction. Vimanams are cosmic energy conductors, when an idol is installed and kumbabishekam etc is done, it is said that the specific energy that relates to the God/Godess i…

Architecture and Religion
Saying about Paran Kundram... you must have seen a very very different vaarahi sculpture out there. It is very unique in its model. The great Goddess holds eight breasts and eight piglets feeding from them. Vaarahi is an ancient goddess (from the s…

Architecture and Religion - Were the palaces really existed?
Here is an interesting note: http://www.harappa.com/script/maha3.html I am trying to dig into the history of southern kings as to how they withstood Ashoka or Mugals. Ashwamedha is a whole different discussion, that may lead to a different locatio…

Architecture and Religion - Were the palaces really existed?
Hello All A quick question with connection to this... What is the first documented use of horses in early Cholas or as a matter of fact any king. Any sangam age architecture that shows usage of horses ? I guess some of the elite here can help. So…

Dear Satish I would not go to an extreme saying moolaye vendam, ofcourse their knowledge is limited to their country, which is pretty much sufficient as still they are the worlds largest economy, which is more than enough for a few generations. …

Intresting topic and anlysis Imperialistic Cholas Vs Im
Azvarkadiyan is typical veera vaishnavar potrayal. The Vaisnava vs Siva battar fight is the only major episode where there is considerable fiction. I dont believe Nambi was into the vaishnava vs saiva battle. It was purely manifested either to div…

I believe these books will be helpful for all children abroad, just because it is difficult to read and write tamil as we would in TN, they should not have to alienate themselves from the beauty of our culture. Speaking tamil alone does not help …

Mayan civilization
Dear Senthil I do believe in Kaapila Aaranyam, but with a foot note of the boar theory as metaphor. In hinduism, its very difficult to provide grounded proofs. Any googling out, we can find so many articles without grounded proofs' It is b…

Dear Madan I think his dialogue needs to be reversed with the base consideration ...if and only if... Hillary revisits her home prior to a decade. Lets revisit this conversation in that extreme event . Boar digging is a metaphor, it must have meant …

Ancient pyramid found in central Mexico City - Yahoo! News
Another issue why people go to vegas than Cairo... Vegas is safer than cairo, Vegas - you can speak english and there are other things to do outside of the pyramids. People such as us in PS Group, can visit both Cairo and Vegas for different reason…

Ancient pyramid found in central Mexico City - Yahoo! News
Personally speaking, I would compare the last 10 years of America to that reign of K-I. Any global dominance by sheer power and greed will only bring downfall. America is a great country, I see the issues that are out in many countries against mino…

Americans typically try to visit inside their own country, many cannot afford to travel outside and a greater number have no clue what is 'really' outside, the elite however prefer to travel and find originals. A poor model of the pyramid …

Benazir - History repeats
Al-Queda: Anti Human. My sympathy with Benazir, she was a brave person. The most corrupt however. She has never completed her 5 year term through out. It is a sad pointer in the brutal political history of Pakistani deaths, liaquat ali khan, the f…

Another point I forgot to mention was the sculpture on the walls. There is a certain game, of pushing a ball through a hoop (symbolic of the cycle of the sun), if the team (comprising of the strongest of army men) cannot do so, their lead is beheade…

Can animals predict death
Going by this... is Nandhini's vision of Veerapandiyan's head real or made up. There have been many paranormal activites in the US too recorded in books. White noise is a film that delves into this (X Files has a lot of fiction on the t…

Dear Mr.Kumara Guruparan Thanks for the link, looks like the data is very precise. I have only one doubt here, I know Nakkeerar wrote the Vinayagar Thiruagaval, I believe he lived in the 2nd - 3rd BC. Thats where it throws me off balance. Paranjyo…

Paranjyoti
Hello Deepa / SPS Understandably, the story has a inner meaning. Siruthondar cannot be compared to vandiyathevan. I am trying to understand how Paranjyoti compared to vandiyathevan. How the paths divulged and what are their similarities in war …

Varahi temple in periya kovil
If my memory serves me right, the Varahi looked more like a structure from the wall than a pillar. Plus your mention on the Pallava - Chola association is of great importance as we see post battle of Aditya 1 Vs Aparajitha pallava. Was this pillar …

Reading on... the behavior is similar to current political trend, of down grading the opponent rule. I am beginning to believe that nothing is changed.

I guess Satish hit the bulls eye on the note. It looks like some sort of symbolization on a venduthal or parikaram. The story of parasurama chopping his mothers head could look brutal but thats only a part of the bigger scheme. There are stories of …
