Anbulla Thiru Thiruvasagam,
Can I engage your mind in moving towards a consensus on the root cause of the decline in Tamil language?
1. Would you agree it is because everyday jobs where Tamil language is used, is declining rapidly compared to English language jobs?
2. Would you agree that "Bill Gates, on his path to billions, has done more for the English language, than any Tamil has for the Tamil language, this century"?
3. Would you agree that Tamildom has to create lots more jobs where Tamil is used?
4. Would you agree that to create more Tamil jobs, lots more Tamils have to go past their koolie and trading mindsets and become inventive, innovative, risk-taking micro-micro-Bill Gates? That even if we don't have the confident mindsets that the English world, has, we can create 5% of what Bill Gates has job-wise, by sewing together many Tamil micro-micro Bill Gates using the Internet, just as ants would?
5. Would you agree that making Tamil books distribution, books writing etc into industries which employ Tamil marketers, advertisers, distributors, publishers, financiers, promotors etc could be part of this?
6. What role do you think the Saiva Siddhanta Mandram in Malaysia can play as part of global Tamildom, in getting more Tamils to be hopeful vibrant risk-takers?
Remember ants, with no government, karma or bank account to blame, have no problems with food and shelter. Can Saivism match ants, ant-bites of work division/cooperation, and ant-colony amity?
For my suggestions on above, please click on http://groups.yahoo.com/group/erumbugal and the interview link mentioned there.
To speed up trust-building and for your background info, I am separately emailing an Intro on myself.
Look forward to a response from you.

On behalf of Saivites , as Tamils world over, and as the President of Saiva Siddhanta Mandram Malaysia, I wish to congraluate your team members, the writers, the Sivagana Swamigal Pervarai, for the wonderful task taken.It is no easy task taken by your organsiation. In fact for a long time I have been asking most of the Saivite Adheenams in Tamil Nadu to do this. But all seems to fall on deaf years. They are more worried in securng their golden seats at the adheenam rather than serving our beloved saivite religion.They have become owners of such a huge wealth in the name of Saivisim by default. We cannot depend on these adheenams for much help. Thus you organsiation as done a bold step in reprinting all the ancient books on Saivisims. I would also humbly appeal that all these books be translated in English so that Saivism can reach the world Otherwise these books will remain unsold in Tamil Nadu because bascially the Tamil educated and reading crowd do not spend money on purchasing religious books unlike the other community.. If these books are published in English, I am sure all your books will be sold within weeks. This is based on my experience and also due to the dermand by the english speaking people who cannot read or write in Tamil. Let saivisim spread to the west through English because Gurudeva Subramuniya swami has done that.it is now easy for us to promote all our Saivite Books in English.
My orgasiation is willing to place the orders, but I would like to know what are the extra charges for posting via air and sea mail. Awaiting for your reply.
Nandri
Thiruvasagam

Saiva Siddhanta Mandram Malaysia.
