Guest guest Posted May 26, 2001 Report Share Posted May 26, 2001 Dear Sri Naga Ganesan Had you been a collage artist? All those statements you quoted of me belong to different posts addressed to different people at different times. You were quite confortable discussing naked temple dancers on old Indology list dispassionately, a topic that doesn't suit today's value systems. But why this passion and value judgements suddenly? Who really wants to conduct rituals and what is the social need? If rituals are really useful they would have been apporpriated long ago by multinationals to clean Hudson river or manage ozone layers. The reason for doing rituals is just to preserve an ancient asset whose meaning is lost. Changing it to suit today's needs is like painting Taj Mahal with latex. Kindly check my discussion of veda and caste.. http://homes.acmecity.com/friends/harmonica/301/caste0.html Regards Bhadraiah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could not read the URL, is the address OK? Are you related to Veerashaivaite Acharyas of Mallampalli? Prof. Velcheru Narayanaravu talks about Sri. Mallampalli Somasekhara Sarma (quoting from memory) as the greatest living Telugu scholar of virshaivism (in VNR, Warriors of Shiva). Regards, N.

It should be a lesson not to forget keeping a personal copy of additons and changes. I have a 1 year old copy of the site. >Are you related to Veerashaivaite Acharyas of Mallampalli?

Somasekhara Sarma was one of our great grandfathers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
