Recently when I entered my house, the television was jarring with a recent hit song. the clips of wonders of the worls was running in the screen. The Great Wall of China emerged in the scene-the hero and heroine dancing across. NO, Mr.Moderator, this is not a write up on movies. This triggered a train of thought in my mind regarding great walls. Walls as you all know, are boundaries, barriers for enemies, protection for the inmates, a safety cover for the residents from natural and artifical calamities.We all know of a little kid fitting his finger to avoid flood. We know that Great Wall of China is the man-made object visible from space. Even in this virtual world, we see fire-walls, filtering packets, scanning and then only routing the desired packets and rejecting others. These walls then, are playing a significant role right from the days of yore, which turned my thoughts towards Azhwar's thoughts on walls.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 Dear Members : On behalf of all of You , I want to thank Sriman Padmanabhan for his just concluded series of excellent postings on Acharya Hrudhayam. Those are authoritative and most enjoyable postings conforming strictly to SampradhAyic way of intrepretation . Our thanks to him for devoting a significant amount of his time to share with us his in depth knowledge about Eedu and dhivya prabhnadhams with facility and ease . I am glad to know that he will be starting a new series based on his response to happenings all around in daily life and relating it to Dhivya Prabhandhams /AzhwAr's aruLIccheyalkaL. We are indeed fortunate to have BahkthAs ( Sriman M.G.Vasudevan , SrI MadhavakkaNNan Of Srirangam and Sri Sadagopan Iyengar , SrIman Sudarsanan of Kuwait and others) and Bhakthais of SrIman NaarAyaNa ( Smt.Sumitra Varadarajan of ThiruallikkENi ) contribute richly to the growth of the archives of Oppiliappan List . My special thanks are to SrIMan Sriram Srinivasan of ThiruveLLUr and California for his extraordinary contributions to retrieve the archives after I had accidentally erased months of postings and setting up the new archives , which are accessed by aastikAs from all over the world every day ! He has been exceptionally helpful in so many ways to capture and disseminate the content on singular themes like SandhyAvandhanam for which he is creating a special , authentic site built upon the recent DVD Releases on ThirkAla SandhyA Vandhanam . A devout Bhakthan from Hyderabad , SrI Anil Aditya has been tireless in creating a data base of thematic content along subject lines ( http://www.Sadagopan.org) . His devotion at such a young age will take him far in his spiritual journey with the blessings of SrI Lakshmi Hayagrivan . Yet another family member from Poundarikapuram branch , SrI Sudarshan has created the web site : http://www.malolan.org to capture the archives of Thiruvaheendhrapuram Rathnangi Kaimakryam related postings. Thank you all , who enrich the pages of Oppiliappan List day after day ! May the divine fragrance of Dhivya Prabhandhams , Veda ParimaLam and Acharya Srisookthis waft across the pages of Oppiliappan archives with the visEsha anugraham of SrI BhUmi DEvi SamEtha Sri Oppiliappan !
