Thank You Mr. Sampath Kumaran. Please do not stop

[Guest guest]

posting because of the flames you receive.

 

I for one has enjoyed reading your commentaries.

I have benefitted immensely.

 

Nothing that you have said offends me anyway.

It helped me to see a different light.

 

Flames emanate from all of us when we forget

"PrajApatischarati garbhe anta:"

 

Flames are not necessary to reflect an alternate

view point or even correct a misspoken word.

 

Besides, if only the great YatiRaja or one of

His followers yielded to flames and "eye gouges"

today we would not have this wealth.

 

Modern interpretation is lacking in our traditions.

The literature that is written is written today

for yester-years. There are no readers who can

assimilate them today. We want modern expositions

which does not avoid topics or ambiguities because

they are on a certain subject matter.

That is why children do not take to it. You

are filling this void. Some mistakes will be made.

But I am willing to live with some mistakes

then void.

 

The big question is what will be our tradition

in 300 years from now. 2000 years from now.

What can we do today so we can preserve this

light for others who might seek it in those

times. Based on your explanations I am able

to explain to my kids that there are several

interpretations and one should not make haste

in their conclusions.

 

Thank you again and continue to post for

us.

Dear Sri.Raman Kannan,

 

It is adiyen who must thank you for your kind words of

encouragement and appreciation. How right you are!

 

adiyen shall continue to write not because adiyen

wants the kudos of others or is afraid of the

criticism of others. Adiyen will write because he

genuinely enjoys the "tiruppAvai" as a supreme work of

poetry, art, aesthetics, mysticism and religious

fervour. And adiyen's reverence for our dear AndAl is

also genuinely felt in my heart.

 

Thanks for your support once again,

dAsan,

Sampathkumaran
