this is absolutely brilliant. the api used is terrific. (Infact I was searching for a free api that does similar work for a product of mine)... among multiple uses of being a member at Ponniyin selvan... techno knowledge is one :-) Kudos... P…

BIG TEMPLE :: THANJAVUR
Well not always... i know... I am saying it :) But there are a few...very few but there sure are... agencies in the govt which act quick on response too. Govt agencies on the whole are a disgrace, I agree. But they need not be blamed necessarily. T…

48 ancient temples to be renovated in State
One more thing about temples and ancient preservations: I believe the lighting of camphor (as regulated substance - instead of lighting it by any one every where) must be allowed to be shows on deepa aaradhana by priests and regular preservation …

Fwd ........A BRIDGE TOO FAR
Kishkintha from my 'sitrarivu' was on the place where we border TN,Kerala and Karnataka... Vaali throws dhundubi into rishyamukha mountains which is on the border of Pampa river. Going by the yojanas of the kick, it must have been in t…

Movie on RRC??
Either ways, unless there is a heavenly amount of money pumped in and / or a guy like Kamal or similar who takes the task damn seriously pitches in, we will see a de-glorified persona cast on the screens. The last thing I would like to see is a a-la…

Adam's Bridge or Ramar Paalam
Tere are two questions to point a. What really is Adam's bridge or Sethu samuthram. b. Existance of Rama (as churned up and cleverly subsided by the Congress itself). Question a, may be easy to prove, even by pointers in Hindu epics, for…

Adam's Bridge or Ramar Paalam
As much as I trust and believe in Rama and Ramayana, I do not believe in the Ramar palam proclaimed as now the original. I believe the real Lanka during the Ravana time is under water. This may sound blasphemous to many who hear, but I believe the c…

Same with China. It was brilliantly portrayed in the movie 'The Hero'.

Great Feats...
History can be tampered for some time to meet selfish needs but eventually will spring up as time moves on. British had the power that point in time, they have certainly made many valuable contributions. However they have tampered enough with our hi…

Miracles
Miracles happen in day to day life, we can see that. Our life - every day is a miracle, given the way the world works (terrorism, drunken driving, corruption etc). How many of us have had problems and only to see them dissapear over time ? The ide…

It will be that way till sept 15th. Any good astrologer will tell why. Not just these incidents, the incidents at Hyderabad and world over. May God grant us some peace.

Tiruchendur
As some may know, I am an ardent devotee of the Lord. Though I agree to the fact that there is commerical tauts and frauds all over the place or even worse, the great beach used as an open air restroom by many, may sound frustrating, Chendur is not…

Why should we read the Gita
This context applies for any religious text. Also there are embedded vibrations to kindle the cosmic energy we have in built inside us. Over a period of time, the particles begin to respond to those mantras. Just the word Aum, over a period of time…

Tiruvenkaadu
Physical travel is one and travel on astral planes is another. I believe Karaikal ammaiyar as much as many many other saints travelled far off places through the later mode. Bogar history has quite a bit of examples and Arunagiri's songs depict…

Tiruvenkaadu
This story reminds me of saying by Ramanujacharya who went up the Tirupathi hill on his knees saying that the whole hill is the Lord himself. It would be curious to know of the history of the sthalam vs gyanasambandar's entry there. That will g…

when did we get sunday off??
So Sunday is really off :-) I need to talk with my company folks, we still live in the pallava era I guess. On the serious side... to establish an empire you need to work all days. There is nothing called as a break. Almost all successful people w…

Ponniyin selvar ...sangu chakara regai!!!
Hi all All said and done, I dont believe RRC could have committed such heinous crime of killing his own brother. I do not believe Sembian Madevi would have done so too. Pandiya or Pallava angle cannot be dismissed. I have always been suspicious of…

nandhini Vs cleopatra
Almost every other person at that time down near thirunalveli belt had the surname pandiyan. I am not sure if Kattabomman was from the same pandya lineage. Correct me if i am wrong.

nandhini Vs cleopatra
Vasantha sena was a classic, T.R.Rajakumari's voice modulation and her presentation was the closest you can get to imagining Nandini. As for Dr.KK's closeness to the epic, you can check out the horse rider near anna flyover, the looks fal…

Kovil Theru .....was it a war machine
Hi The great saint was from 1400 AD. however, his visions are not, they rope back into the real time of both kaumaram and cover the entire yugas in his mystical and incomparable works of thirupugazh.

nandhini Vs cleopatra
Precisely, Vasantha sena had 3 husbands, one was manohara's father. Her 1st one happens to kill her. Nandini on the other hand, tried to rope in Aaditya, took over the falling veera pandya, married the age old Pazhuvettayar ... and eventually f…

Kovil Theru .....was it a war machine
When you hear thirupugazh song of Muthai tharu, you will hear the lines 'Kothu parai kottum kalam isai' , I believe Arunagiri had visions of these scenes prior to documenting them, hence the Parai and conch etc belong to us.

nandhini Vs cleopatra
I am not sure what generated Nandini but there was a character very similar to her in the movie Manohara released in 1954. Vasantha Sena was in all modes same as Nandhini. Those who have seen Manohara would know this person, also equally intriguing …
