<BR>Hello friends:
<BR>
<BR>I read all the correspondence on Kamban. The Vaishna tradition has included Sadagoparandadhi as
<BR>part of (at least as Annex) Thivya prapandam. Kamban has been repeatedly quoted by later Acharyas.
<BR>Unfortunetely, Kulasekara Alwar was born before Kamban, otherwise, Kamban could have been elevated
<BR>to the Alwars's status. In original listing, Andal & Periyazwar were not there. There was only ten
<BR>alwars. So..it is still a mystery how Kamban has been left out. Well, Bharathi has been added into
<BR>the list afesh. Why don't we propose Kamban as well. What we need is a small Sannathi for Kamban
<BR>in one of the temples in USA or Tamilnadu. 
<BR>
<BR>Kambaramayanam & Kamban could have been excluded for the reason of explicit expression of sex in
<BR>his poems (Kambarasam!!). A sort of Elisabethian puritanism creeped in sometime in Tamilnadu and
<BR>that could have cuased this discripency.
