dear dr ganesan

i already wrote

"I have had this question asked numerous times, and
so I take no offence at your question."

so, no offence at all.

its very kind of you to write
"I'm sorry if I offended you".

ur reasoning now makes me understand why u asked the question.

my mother's uncles are in dharapuram.
the powerful wind that blows in dharapuram baffles me.

EVRN (periyar) was a kannadiga ???
[ this is news to me, Sir, thank u for the info below ]

atleast u shud write for newbies/novices like me.

regards to both
suresh

Dear Sri. Suresh,

I'm sorry if I offended you. Haven't read all your
messages. Since I've some close Madhva friends
from CBE, & once in a message (i wrote or answered, forget which)
you mentioned thale-k-kAD & stalapurANam of that place,
just asked.

In Dharapuram too (Kolinjivadi) there are Kannada brahmins.
Dewan Purnaiah, who was with Mysore Wodeyars, was
from Kolinjivadi. Of course, the famous comedian
Nagesh is from Dharapuram too.

To top it all, Periar was a Kannadiga as well.
The one who started Perur Tamil college
was a Kannadiga as well, Kovaikizaar C. M. Ramachandran,
he started the study and recording of folklore in tamil.

anbuDan,
N. Ganesan

It's well known and recorded by experts
that Saiva bhakti starts in Tamil. And early
Tamil saiva literature does not say that Shiva is
part of trinity.
