To netters:
hi!
After reading the "heart-rending" letter of Raghava Varma, i am but 
forced to send this rejoinder...this is a classic example of generations
of delusion thrust on us..we have this emancipted view of what Hinduism
is, this "peer-paraye" nature of it all and if you noticed there was this 
slight crack at the Islamic religion, while the truth is Hinduism is 
no where near what it is made out to be. I have been reading Nirad
Chaudhari's book called "Hinduism". In it he recounts the history of
hinudism - and it turns out that we are no more special than any of the
other religions. For example, did you know that most of the vedas and the 
Bhagavad gita were all written by one man..Vyasa. kinda like the Prophet
huh? and the fact that in spite of the fact that there are many more
incarnates of Vishnu than the one most popular namely Rama and Krishna,
...the reason is over many generations our people have been systematically
brainwashed..and we come to have these supernatural feelings about Rama
who was all but a king of a province. Although Mr. Varma's heart is i the 
right place when he asks us that peaceful coexistence is the answer, I 
take oppostition with the ondescending tone that comes through. there is
this , well, they are muslims and violent, let u b true hindus and ...
while the fact is Hinduism is no more gentle than any other religion.
Views like this, in the guise of innocent pleas only nurtures the 
fanatic wave that is sweeping the Hindus. So i ask that let us not live in
peace because Narsing Mehta sings it in a song about peer paraye and 
bullshit, but because if we go on fighting like  a bunch of idiots, we
will get nowhere...So all you idiots who want a temple on that mosque
ground, maybe you ought to build a school for yourselves, so you can
learn not to be bigoted and make somthing useful out of your lives.

   I suggested the idea on December 12. But there was no response.
   I notice that the Sanskrit word content in 'thiruvembaavai' is
   substantially 'higher' than in 'thiruppaavai'. There are many
   similar verse constructions. I think 'thiruvembaavai' was
   written after thiruppaavai. Who is the author? Also a lady?
   Is she a lady naayanmaar?

   K. Srinivasan at Hydro Quebec.


As another poster has written, the Tiruvempaavai is by
Maanikkavaasagar, and was almost definitely written after the
Tiruppaavai.  Norman Cutler has written a book entitled
"Consider Our Vow" that contains translations of both, and in
his introduction writes that it is quite clear that the
Tiruvempaavai is modeled on the Tiruppaavai.  From his point of
view, it also seems to lack the emotion and spontanaiety of
Andal.

One interesting point is that while the paavai of Andal fits
neatly into the story of Krishna and the Gopis, the basis for
the Tiruvempaavai has to be somewhat contrived, since stories
about Shiva do not contain any reference to Gopis or girls
praying together for their lover.

Smart dude, when has China started selling armies.  Selling human beings isn't
that slavery?  Is that what they teach you in communism.  So you see no

Flattering it sure was, but surprisingly skimpy on information and
hard facts.  For an article of that length I am only marginally
more knowledgeable than I was before I read it.  It read more like
the SJMN or USA Today than the WSJ.  Still shouldn't look a gift 
horse in the mouth.
