Talk:Srirangam

message: 1. "The construction of the temple spanned across three centuries from the 14th to 17th centuries and many rulers have had a hand in its construction, including the Cheras, Pandyas, Cholas, Hoysalas and rulers from Vijayanagar." 
It needs to be understood that the rulers mentioned above never constructed the temple but actually performed "thiruppani" which means renovations etc. So it stands to be corrected.
:It is also not true that construction of the temple only spanned 3 centuries.  The existing text suggests that temple construction only began in the 14th century.  However, as I wrote in a version of the Temple article:
::Much of the existing temple dates from the 13th to 18th century, however the temple is mentioned in literature as old as the Silapadikaram and Nalayiradivyapirabandam (c.a. 3rd century CE) while in contrast, the rajagopuram (main gopuram) did not reach its current height of 73 m. until 1987.
:And of course, Ramanuja was present in the 11th century CE.  --BostonMA 02:33, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Dear SS, I apologize for neglecting to respond to you sooner.  Unfortunately, I sometimes to do not communicate that well.  I was agreeing with you in my comments.  It is as you say that temple is older than 13th, 14th centuries.  It is also as you say that the article gives the wrong impression of the age of the Temple.  I was quoting the Sri Ranganathatswami Temple article as a proposal to replace the text in the Srirangam article.  I  believe it to be more accurate.  Please feel free to change the description of the age of the temple in the Srirangam article, or if you prefer, I will change it.  --BostonMA 14:45, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

text: It was interesting to read , which argues that the names used in popular literature have no authority behind them, only the course of the Kaveri.  I have no objection to your removal of the name.  However, it might be best to mention that popular usage refers to the three temples along the Kaveri as belonging to Adi-, Madya- and Antya- Rangam.  --BostonMA 02:33, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Changes proposed! 

message: I understand that in the SRIRANGAM Article a reference has been made to "Akilattirattu Ammanai" and corresponding detail provided.
It will have to be primarily understood that the SRIRANGAM RENGANATHASWAMY Temple derives its history from "Shathaadhyayi" and "Dashaadhyaayi". References are also made from Valmiki Ramayana and recorded recent history(dating back to the last 10 centuries) which are available.
Hence i believe it will be of great implortance to mention the actual history of the Temple from these sources initially.
The History is precisely written in the SRIRANGAM RENGANATHASWAMY Temple Article.
The changes will be incorporated in this page (SRIRANGAM) after discussion.SS 16:35, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that Akilattirattu Ammanai should not be the source of history of the temple.  Regarding Valmiki Ramayana, I believe the story of Vibhishana in Valmiki Ramayana deserves to be mentioned.  However, question arises whether Srirangam temple is same temple referred to there.  To answer that question, I think the Padma Purana (Patala Khanda) should be mentioned as providing the connection between the Valmiki Ramayana account and Srirangam.  --BostonMA 15:08, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Suggestions! 

message: This is an extremely biased and misleading headline I think because it does not take into account there reasons why non-Hindus are not allowed. Firstly, non-Indian Hindus are permitted to enter (for example, members of ISKCON) so the description is presumptious. Secondly, the primary reason non-Hindus aren't allowed into the core Hindu temples is because they are firstly places of worship, and therefore not a tourist attraction. It is in order to preserve the atmosphere of worship in the most sacrosanct parts of the temple that non-Hindus are barred.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.198.13.53 (talk) 21:44, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Discrimination" 

message: This page mentions just Jayalaitha Jayaram among famous people. I feel there should be a separate section as there are quite a few famous people from here. Some of the names I can recall are: Writer Sujatha, Lyricist Vali, Nadaswaram vidwan Sheik Chinna Moulana, Harikatha exponent Vishaka Hari. Others are welcome to add to the list.Paguha (talk) 03:05, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
