VALGA VALAMUDAN

Dear Syzenith and all,

 

Happy to see ur mail. I really got glad that u have pointed out many of the

things abt our Tamil Nadu. Tamil nadu has very antiant civilization. U can see

many olden days traditions are following here. As we are staying here since we

born, we are not having any surprising on this. when u people are telling abt

our state, we are really getting happy abt it.

 

Here many temples are there. For each and every street atleast one small temple

will be there. Mostly it will be Ganesh temple. In my town atleast some 20 to

30 ganesh temples are there. ( Most of them are small one ). Apart from this

some of the big house ( like Bangalow ) and in some hospitals they will also

have a separate temples on inside of their compound. In general, many towns are

developed on near to the temples. Say for example, My native is

"Thiruvannamalai". This city is been developed on surrounding to the "Easwar"

Temple ( Annamalaiyar , who is the father to Lord Ganesh ). Many of our big

temples we will have an elephant ( more than one also there ). On every

morning, after doing the bath to this elephant, (The Elephant) will bring the

"Punitha neer" ( Water for Abisheka [i dont know how to say in english] ). With

that they will do the Abishekam to the lord Easwer.

 

Hindus religious animals are Cow. We are also keeping a cow inside the temple,

for doing the pooja. Everyday on 4.00AM the "Komadha Pooja" ( pooja to cow)

will be held inside the temple.

 

There are lot and lot of traditional following of poojas and special events are

there on each and every temples ( here I mean some important temples in India

).

 

Thanks for given the time to sharing of my thoughts with u all.

Deities & Leaves

Vanakam Ramesh,Nice to see you around! Thanks for telling about deity pictures,

banana leaves and Panai Ollai. I've just read Ram's message and realise it is

Mango leaves (thank you Ram).It's great to know that some houses in India have

deity pictures built into the door. I haven't seen one like that in Australia.

It sounds wonderful to be able to have a deity in the door. Two of my friends

visited Tamil Nadu (Chennai and some other places) recently. They came back and

said it is paradise! They want to go back again next year. They were told me

about a special elephant outside a temple which kissed their Yantra with the

trunk as they left. They have many happy memories of your beautiful State and

the people they met.Om Shree Ganeshaya Namah,Sy,

infrontof the house (entrance of the house). This is good for the people who

are living in the house. They can have any type of daitees pictures. In our

nation (India) some of the houses may built in the type of keeping the god in

the door by errected on the door itself. When the functions / festivals are

happening people will keep some types of the leaves on top of the door. In my

states (Tamil Nadu) its is Banana leaves and "panai Ollai leaves" I dont know

the name in english. Both has some reason. Mostly people are saying that it is

the symbol or good sign to know that in that house some good festival /

function is happening. > > with regards,> NT.RAMESHTo from this

Vanakam Ramesh,

 

Nice to see your message! Glad to know you are happy. Thanks for

telling us more about Tamil Nadu, your hometown Thiruvannamalai, the

temples and puja. It is a very fascinating place. My friends who

visited your state has not stopped talking about it.

 

They are now working very hard to save money so they can return to

Tamil Nadu to stay longer next time. They love your country's

culture, food, people and everything in Tamil Nadu. They said they

were treated very well and Indians are very kind. They also studied

the Tirukural in South India.

 

Please tell us more and share your thoughts, comments, experiences

and anything you wish. It is a pleasure to see your messages any

time.

 

Om Shree Ganeshaya Namaha,

Sy
