[Guest guest]

Dear SrimAn Mani, Sempath and Dileepan,

 

Thank you for pointing out that "AAmaruviyappan" is the name of the Perumal

and not Siva at Terezhundur. I have checked it out myself and you are all

absolutely right!

 

I regret my awful bloomer ! It was not a mistake of the Sankara Mutt

friend though.

 

Last evening I checked out other aspects of the story with the same friend

..... I have no reason to disbelieve the rest of their version of the

"shthala-puraAna". Whichever version of the "purAna" happens to be right,

to me the story itself retains immense literary appeal. I think it is a

wonderful lesson on the ethics of filial conduct. That's the "bottom-line"

for me. Period.

 

And as for your generalized comments about the authenticity of HH Sri

ChandrasekharEndra Saraswati's accounts of "prabhandic history", I am

afraid

I am unable to agree with all that you say.

 

(I greatly respect and admire the "Advaitin" or ("mAyAvAdin"!!) of Kanchi

both as a tall religious leader of recent times and as a man of ideas. I

have no intention therefore of being drawn further into this thread of

discussion.) So shall we let this one pass, please?

 

dAsan,

sudarshan
