Guest guest Posted January 14, 2002 Report Share Posted January 14, 2002 thiruchiRRambalam Dear devotees of Lord Shiva, Thank you for your encouragement to this Daily Thirumurai postings. The intention of these postings are "vaigalum eNNil nalla gadhikku yaadhumoor kuRaivilai" (If we think (of the Lord Shiva) everyday, there would be no short coming for our well-being). These great treasures of Thirumurai are so magnificient that they would lead us to the Blissful Supreme that is beyond the limits of thoughts in a simple and easy to follow way, keeping us on the track. To know more about Thirumurais please visit http://www.shaivism.org/thiru.html. The 12 months of the calander are well suited for chanting these 12 thirumuRais. So each month one thirumuRai will be taken up and the hymns from that will be posted. Though for this purpose taking the traditional Solar calander will be apt, for sake of simplicity the popular calender schedule will be adhered to. The notes given at the bottom are mainly intended for those who do not know the language (Tamil) and those who have the starting trouble to read and understand the verses. But it is written with the firm belief that reading the original words as said by these 27 great saints is the unparalleled glorious way to read these texts and there is nothing like it. Many who have vastly read these texts would appreciate this fact. Still an attempt is made to give a feel of its meaning - thought to whatever extent the original glory is toned down in the process. There have been followup mails and articles from the readers. Though reading them regularly, unable to respond or respond in time to many of them. May your broad minds that house the thoughts of the Limitless Lord toler this flaw. Some of the followups are of interest to readers on multiple mailing lists. So request the permission of the list members and owners to accept this cross posting. These thirumuRais nurture the field of our heart to grow the grains of devotion to offer to the Lord Who showers the Bliss. So it needs to be made avaiable in the complete original and flawless form to the community on the Internet. In this effort the Shaiva Sidhdhantha Home Page (www.shaivism.org) is having the agenda to make available the complete thirumuRais. As of now only 8th thirumuRai (thiruvAsakam & thirukkOvaiyAr), 9th thirumuRai (thirumandhiram) are available online. The rest of the thirumuRais are yet to be added. Those devotees who would like to contribute their time and effort for this holy cause are requested to contact saran May the "chemmalar noonthaaL" (Perfect Flower, Forbearing Foot) of the Lord Shiva forgive and correct the mistakes. namaH shivAya "Long live the kind hearted, the divines and the cow-herds !

But it is written with the firm belief More than 50% of members of are non-Tamils. Definitely the English translation is helpful. I think placing the English translation first, followed by the tamil text may entice them to read. Even the subject heading, as "Sacred Order: Devotional works on Lord Shiva" or something like that may help. Because, if people do not understand the subject header, they may not even open the message. > interest to readers on multiple mailing lists.

Since the archives or public, an explicit permission from the authors (I think) is not necessary. Besides Agathiyar - to what other lists do you post this series. Thanks again for your effort.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2002 Report Share Posted January 21, 2002 Dear Ravi, Thanks for your message. I understand that about half of the readers in do not understand Tamil. (This could be even more in groups like advaitin). But still I would like to keep the same order (original song and then the English meaning) because I feel at least the readers who know Tamil should first read those flawless original words of the saints before looking into the meaning written by me. Yes, it may cause some trouble to readers who do not understand Tamil, but for the above said principle, it would be better in my humble opinion. For a similar reason, I have not changed the title of the series from Thirumurai to an English equivalent. As of now I am posting the Thirumurai series apart from to advaitin, agathiyar, devaram and meykandar. namaH shivAya with love, Ganesh ______________________ > > Message: 2 > Tue, 15 Jan 2002 16:44:17 -0000 > "miinalochanii" <miinalochanii > Re: Thirumurai series - A Few Words > > , Subramanian Ganesh <sgesh> > wrote: > > Thanks Ganesh. > > > > > The notes given at the bottom are mainly intended > for > > those who do not know the language (Tamil) and > those > > who have the starting trouble to read and > understand > > the verses.
