...... ShaNmalam which are the six defects of the mind sound so similar to ShaNmadam and even by the meaning of madam many people are sure to get confused between ShaNmadam and ShaNmalam.

Do you think the audience is so dumb? :nono:

 

[sangom]

ShaNmatam (ta as in takiTu, tanti, taTTai, etc.) was one thing; I don't know it has now become Shanmadam (da as in madayaanai, darbaaru, daLit, etc.)! And Unnikrishnan is singing on these six madams !!

 

[Raji Ram]

Dear Sangom Sir,

Please check the spelling in this link: Shanmadam-ganapathyam- Shree natya niketan - YouTube

'மதம்' is pronounced as 'madam' in Tamil and not 'matam' - only Srilankans pronounce that way!

P.S: I always write with one 'h' added - 'madham' to avoid confusion - Tamil does not have த4.

After the questions the audience asked about Atman, mind, budhdhi etc,
any kind of confusion is possible dear sister!

Thank you dear for saving me the trouble of explaining this.
We did not have power from 7 A.m to 2 P.M.!!!

It is a nice feeling to know that even those who proclaim that they do not care about my threads and do not read them visit secretly and read - at least to find faults!

2294. மதம் = எண்ணம், அபிப்பிராயம், நம்பிக்கை, கொள்கை, முடிவு, மதம், அறிவு.

2302. மத3: = குடி போதை, பைத்தியம், மதம் பிடித்தல், கர்வம், ஆசை, காம வெறி, தேன், அதிக மகிழ்ச்சி, கஸ்தூரி , வீரியம்.

ShaNmat(h)am is the right word though most people say it as ShaNmadham.

ShaNmat(h)am is the right word though most people say it as ShaNmadham.

A quick googling showed more relevant hits for shanmatham than for shanmadham.
Perhaps a distortion from sanskrit - tamil - english rather than the preferred sanskrit - english

Why were they asking about absent things like atman, mind, buddhi etc.?

Who is the target of this missile? Indha ambu yaarai paarkhirathu?

 

[Raji Ram]

The problem of speaking in Tamil confuses many times.

Not many of us say 'matham'; we say 'madham'. It became 'madam' too!!

 

[Raji Ram]

Who is the target of this missile? Indha ambu yaarai paarkhirathu?

=> Who found fault? :spy:

 

[Raji Ram]

இது கொஞ்சம் 'ஓவரா' இல்ல? :decision:

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Why were they asking about absent things like atman, mind, buddhi etc.?

The theme of the concert was "Maanase sancharare!"
So Sri.Vijay Shiva was trying to din into the heads of the audience
the basic differences between Mind, Budhdhi and Atman.

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Who is the target of this missile? Indha ambu yaarai paarkhirathu?

It might have multiple targets (including you!!!)

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

In the puranic films, a single arrow would become one hundred arrows and attack the army of the enemy. In Kanda Puranam also such war scenes are elaborated. So it is like dhwaitham in adhvaitham...only here the dhwaitham is not necessarily limited to two!

மஜா வேண்டுமா?
ஜமா பந்தி சேருங்கள்!

சரியான நபர்கள் சந்திக்கும்போது தான்
தெரியும் அவர்களின் தனித் திறமைகள்!

ஸ்வரக் கோர்வைகளை கணித்து அதை
கஞ்ஜீராவில் கண்கள் விரிந்து மின்ன அவர்
துள்ளி துள்ளி வாசித்து மகிழ்ந்ததைக்
காணக் கண் கோடி நிச்சயம் வேண்டும்!

சிலு சிலு வென்ற மழைத் துளி போன்ற
உன்னிக் கிருஷ்ணனின் கற்பனையைத் தன்
மிருதங்கத்தில் அடக்கி, அடக்கமாக வாசித்து
வசியப் படுத்திவிட்டார் இன்னொருவர்.

கச்சேரி என்பது ஒரு டீம் வொர்க் தான்!
இதில் எள்ளளவும் ஐயமே வேண்டாம்!

கேமரா மேன் மட்டும் லேசுப்பட்டவர என்ன? hoto:

"மீனாக்ஷி, காமாக்ஷி .." என்று பாடும் பொழுது
அத்தனை கூட்டத்திலும் தேடிக் கண்டுபிடித்து
மீன் போல மைதீட்டி வந்திருந்த ஓர் அழகியை
ஃ போகஸ் செய்தார்! மகிழ்ந்தார்!! மகிழ்வித்தார்!!! :clap2:

May we all pray for the eternal peace of the soul of
Miss.Nirbhayaa (Delhi gang rape victim). ray:

May her sacrifice and suffering NOT go in waste! ray:

Was she transported to Singapore to contain the violent agitation,
which will turn more violent if she breaths her last here in India?

Was she really alive when she was transported to Singapore?

We will never know these answers.

But we know one thing for sure.

Such a thing should never again happen to any other girl in the whole world!

Was she attacked by blunt instruments (including crow bars)
externally and internally too??? :shocked:

I shudder even to think of it! :scared:

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Your eyes can cheat you!

I always read veNpaattu as venpattu

and Vedic marriage as video marriage!

I guess we prefer to read words we are more familiar with!

The word VeNpaa is more familiar than VeNpattu! Right?

This is more of an age of video meetings, conferences than in person.

Video celebrations are more common than traditional Vedic ceremonies!

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

After all these years on the stage,
what made Ganesh and Kumaresh
introduce themselves suddenly
by their correct names???
They don't look identical r even similar
though their haircut is unique!!!
Any identity crisis in the offing??? :noidea:

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

One genuine and honest doubt aimed at all the exponents in Carnatic music.

It is not customary to sing Pratimadhya raagaas in close sequences in a concert.

WE ALWAYS SING A SUDHDHYA MAHYA RAAGAA IN BETWEEN TWO SUCH RAAGAAS.

Why did Sri. Unnikrishna sing very closely related pratimahyama ragaas like
Rishabapriya (62) Lathaangi (63) Kalyaani (65), Hansaanandhi and may be more such raagaas in close sequence ???

(WE did not have power for about 20 minutes during the concert!!!)

Was it done on purpose to display his mastery over these raagaas which differ very very slightly when based on the swaraas but differ in prayogaas???

 

[Raji Ram]

I am not an exponent in Carnatic music, but I can answer this!

The editor liked the prathimadhyama rAgams probably!
The program is for nearly two hours whereas the telecast is only for about 40 minutes! :clock:

P.S: Was LathAngi included?

 

[Raji Ram]

I am reminded of Mr. M K's statement: 'vadakku vAzhgiRathu; theRku thEygiRathu!'

So many victims in South India go unnoticed whereas there is a hue and cry in the Delhi case.

As long as the punishment which is NOT severe is delayed for many years, these crimes are sure to continue. out:

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

It is NOT just a question of vadakku and therkku!

Imagine a paramedic at the prime of her youth,

returning home after watching a movie,

not alone but in the company of her friend,

boarding a stationary bus hoping to get good seats,

(and a bus is supposed to be safer than an auto or a car)

at 9 P.M. when the night is still young in metropolitan cities,

getting mutilated and thrown out of the bus

on street stark naked for no fault of hers!

If we are not able to sympathize with such a girl,

we are not worthy of being called as human beings!
