Dear Sir,Congratulations on your new project-Kanda Puranam.
I have one question, i find the sequencing of the verses in Tirumandiram different from
what you have followed ,in another book I came across. What is the book to follow or what
your work is based on?
Thank you and appreciate you for your elaborate work on Tirumoolar.
That is fine Madam. Thank you.Dear Sir,
Kandha purANam was the first among my series of blogs and was competed in 2012. I am just giving the links of my 72 blogs ~ one per week, to enable the interested persons to read them at leisure.
I came across three volumes of Thirumandiram and used them as my reference. But that was the work of a poet and did not stress on the yoga aspect of this great work.
So I included what little I know on Yoga and Saivaite philosophy. I will try to recollect the name of the author. This series was completed by me in 2014. I tend to forget the names since I am 75 already.
Dear Sir,That is fine Madam. Thank you.
Stay Home and Stay safe. Happy Diwali
