and Muslims should not divide on Ram Temple and Babri Masjid attacks. Tamil Speech by S.V.Ramani.

Ram Janmabhumi is sacred to the Hindus because they hold it to be the birthplace of Rama, who embodies for them the ideals of truth, heroism, chivalry and every other virtue. What is the justification for the mosque by Babar beyond the fact that it was erected as a mark of conquest by Babar and of humiliation of the Hindus? No such justification exists for the Babri Masjid, for it was not intended as a place of worship. To understand temple destructions by Babar and his descendants, we must recognize that it was part of their ideology.

Self-respecting nations don’t let stand symbols of national humiliation and slavery. The French have not preserved Nazi monuments at Versailles. Even in America, where Tharoor’s authority Tina Rosenberg fulminated against the Hindus, Americans destroyed a statue of King George III when they declared independence in 1776. Some forty years later, in the War of 1812, the British sacked Washington and burned down the White House. Americans promptly rebuilt it instead of preserving the burnt down.

The basic problem is that the parties have avoided such fundamental issues. Instead of trying to understand what Ram Janmabhumi and Ayodhya mean to the Hindus, the Babri Masjid advocates have been trying to present it as a dispute over a piece of real estate and a structure in brick and mortar. Every living nation has national symbols and Ayodhya is India’s.

Babri Masjid was never intended as a place of worship; it was a symbol pure and simple of the victory of Islamic imperialism over the Hindu Civilization.

A house divided against itself cannot stand. It is my request that Indian Muslims and Hindus should not fall pray to politicians and they must take a peaceful settlement for the construction of both Ram Temple and Babri Masjid.

Sri Thiagaraja Ramayanam.Sundara Kandam and Sri Rama Pattabhishekam.Tamil Speech by S.V.Ramani.

Sundara Kanda describes Hanuman's preparations to cross the ocean in search of Seetha. Mighty Hanuman's flight over the ocean is described in a glorious detail.

Hanuman who is capable of flying gets to Lanka after fighting some dangers in the way. He finds Sita in the garden guarded by female demons, in a depressed mood. He proves to her that he is Rama's messenger and offers to carry her back. But to vindicate her honor she prefers that Rama himself should rescue her. Hanuman promises that Rama will come and rescue her.

After Hanuman's return, Rama plans his way to reach Ravan's island. Rama and his advisers plan a land bridge to Lanka. The monkeys bring tree and rocks from the forests and build the land bridge to Lanka. After arriving in Lanka they send a peaceful messenger to Ravan, but Ravan refuses. So a war begins in which both sides lose many forces. Even Rama and Lakshman get hurt. The monkeys also began to get weak because Ravan's forces use biological weapons, which weaken their senses. So a medical expert in Rama's forces claims that to neutralize this a special herb is required which exists in a far away mountain, named Mahodaya.

Hanuman flies to that mountain and finds out that the mountain is full of different herbs, so he brings the whole mountain to Lanka. Slowly the forces get back to their senses.

Eventually after many battles Ravan faces Rama and after two continuos days of battles Rama kills Ravan and visits Sita. But the Ramayana does not end here. The fact that Sita lived in another man's palace causes some rumors about her chastity. She is obliged to take a fire test in which she sits in a fire but comes out unharmed and therefore is purified from charges.

Rama prepares to leave for Ayodhya. Even though Vibhishana requests Rama to remain at Lanka for some more time and receive his hospitality, Rama gently refuses to do so, adding that he needs to proceed to Ayodhya quickly, to see his mothers, brothers and people there. Vibhishana arranges the aerial car, Pushpaka to transport Rama and others to Ayodhya.

Bharata, after hearing the good news from Hanuma about the arrival of Rama, calls Shatrughna and commands him to make appropriate arrangements for the reception of Rama in the City of Ayodhya. Bharata departs with all others, for Nandigrama to receive Rama. Then, Bharata brings Rama’s wooden sandals and places them below the feet of Rama.

At the request of Bharata to take back the kingdom of Ayodhya, Rama accepts the offer and sits on a seat. Rama, mounting on an excellent chariot, sallies forth on a procession in the city accompanied by Bharata, Shatrughna, Lakshmana and Vibhishana. Vasishta along with other brahmins as priests caused Rama to be consecrated with that water. Vasishta and other priests officiating the coronation-ceremony adorned Rama with an auspicious and charming crown.

Sri Rama Rama Jaya Rajaram! Sri Rama Rama Jaya Seetharam!! 

Shri Thiagaraja Ramayanam [Kishkindha Kandam] Tamil Speech by S.V.Ramani.

Shri Thiagaraja Ramayanam [Kishkindha Kandam] Tamil Speech by S.V.Ramani.

Kishkindha Kandam is set in the monkey’s Fortress of Kishkindha. Rama and Lakshmana meet Hanuman, the greatest of monkey heroes and a adherent of Sugriva, the banished pretender to the throne of Kishkindha. Rama befriends Sugriva and helps him win over his brother Vali and regain the kingdom of Kiskindha. In exchange for the help received from Rama, Sugriva sends search parties to the four corners of the earth, only to return without success from north, east and west.

Hanuman, the monkey, quickly started along with Angada, Lt. Tara, and others to that province which Sugreeva has indicated, namely the south. Arriving at a remote place with all of those powerful monkeys, then Hanuman searched the caves and forests of Vindhya Mountains, and on their mountaintops, at impassable places, at rivers and lakes, and in stands of trees with beamy trees, also on diverse mountains, forests and trees. Though all of those brave vanara-s have searched in all directions they have not noticed the princess of Mithila and the daughter of Janaka, namely Seetha. Feeding upon unalike fruits and tubers, sojourning here and there, those invulnerable vanara-s conducted their search. The southern search party under the leadership of Angad and Hanuman, learns from a vulture named Sampati, that Sita was taken to Lanka.

Hanuman comes forward to leap the ocean at the repeated encouragement given by Jambavanta. Then he increases his physique, fit enough to take a leap, and starts declaring his capabilities, by which the other monkeys feel jubilant.

Sri Ram. Jai Ram.

Indian National Poet Maha Kavi Bharathiar. Tamil Speech by S.V.Ramani.

Indian National Poet Maha Kavi Bharathiar. Tamil Speech by S.V.Ramani.

Subramaya Bharathi was born to Chinnasami Subramanya Iyer and Elakkumi (Lakshmi) Ammaal as "Subbayya" on December 11, 1882 in the Tamil village of Ettayapuram. He was educated at a local high school called "The M.D.T. Hindu College". From a very young age he learnt music and at 11, he was invited to a conference of Ettayapuram court poets and musicians for composing poems and songs. It was here that he was conferred the title of "Bharathi" Bharathi lost his mother at the age of 5 and his father at the age of 16., When Bharathi was 14 year old he married Chellamal.

After this early marriage, Bharathi, curious to see the outside world, left for Benares in 1898. The next four years of his life served as a passage of discovery. During this time he discovered a country in tumult outside his small hamlet. Bharathi worked as a teacher in Madurai Sethupathy High School (now a higher secondary school) and as a journal editor at various times in his life.

Bharathi joined as Assistant Editor of the Swadeshamitran, a Tamil daily in 1904. By April 1907, he started editing the Tamil weekly India and the English newspaper Bala Bharatham with M.P.T. Acharya. Bharathi started to publish his poems regularly in these editions. Bharathi participated in the historic Surat Congress in 1907, which deepened the divisions within the Indian National Congress between the militant wing led by Tilak and Aurobindo and the moderate wing. Bharathi supported Tilak and Aurobindo together with V. O. Chidambaram Pillai and Kanchi Varathaachariyar. Tilak openly supported armed resistance against the British.

In 1908, he gave evidence in the case which had been instituted by the British against V.O. Chidambaram Pillai. In the same year, the proprietor of the journal India was arrested in Madras. Faced with the prospect of arrest, Bharathi escaped to Pondicherry which was under French rule. From there he edited and published the weekly journal India, Vijaya, a Tamil daily, Bala Bharatha, an English monthly, and Suryothayam, a local weekly of Pondicherry. The British tried to suppress Bharathi's output by stopping remittances and letters to the papers. Both India and Vijaya were banned in British India in 1909.

Bharathi entered British India near Cuddalore in November 1918 and was promptly arrested. He was imprisoned in the Central prison in Cuddalore in custody for three weeks from 20 November to 14 December. The following year Bharathi met with Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi.

.Bharathi's health was badly affected by the imprisonments and by 1920, when a General Amnesty Order finally removed restrictions on his movements, Bharathi was already struggling. He was struck by an elephant at Parthasarathy temple, Thiruvallikeni, Chennai, whom he used to feed regularly. Although he survived the incident, a few months later his health deteriorated and he died on September 11, 1921. Though Bharathi was a people's poet there were only fourteen people to attend his funeral.

The last years of his life were spent in a house in Triplicane, Chennai This house was bought and renovated by the Government of Tamil Nadu in 1993 and named 'Bharathiyar 'illam ' (Home of Bharathiyar).

Let us remember Barathi’s word that we will never rest, nor sleep and we will be truthful to our Mother country.

Sri.Thiagaraja Ramayanam [Aranyakandam] Tamil Speech by S.V.Ramani.

Sri.Thiagaraja Ramayanam [Aranyakandam] Tamil Speech by S.V.Ramani.

In Sri Thiagaraja Ramayana in Aranyakandam  Thiagaraja told in his songs that Sabari waits eagerly for Rama's arrival for several years and offers him athithi satkaram. Even in our daily pooja, while weoffer naivedyam, we recite this sloka,

Sabari's atithyam is widely known and she is held in the highest regard.Is

it because Sabari is a great devotee of Rama.

Sabari was a tribal woman. Though she was illiterate, she staunchly

believed in her Acharya, Mathanga Maharshi, and served him with great

Devotion/commitment for several years. Before leaving for the Heavenly abode the Maharshi instructs Sabari to wait for Lord Rama and Lakshmana. Sabari believed in her Acharya's word and waited patiently for several years, alone in the Ashram, just to give athithyam to Rama for a day.

Aranya Kandam ends with Sabari's episode and the first sarga of next

Kandam (Kishkindha Kandam) includes the description of Pampa river and

Lord Rama's meeting with Hanumanwith Sraddha (Swamiji attaches lot of importance to Sraddha – the commitment) and automatically Perumal with the help of Acharya will rescueus -- just like He rescued Sita with the help of Hanuman.

Sri Thiagaraja describes Rama is an avatharam of Lord Srimannarayana; Rama was worshippedby his subjects not because he was the Lord, but because of his qualities.Lord Rama with his exemplary behaviour depicted to the world how one shouldbehave and react to adverse circumstances. In addition to the peripheralstoryline in Ramayanam one should understand

the underlying philosophic meaning of each episode and follow it as far

as possible to lead a "PERFECT LIFE". Let us all sing  Rama’s name.

We want all Tamil Scholars including Brahmins to be included in the World Tamil Conference. Tamil Speech by S.V.Ramani.

Kalaignar Karunanidhi stated in his message that the Tamil society was proud that Dr. Ramakrishnan, who was born in Chidambaram, was the third Tamil to get the Nobel Prize after C.V. Raman (1930) and Chandrasekhar (1983). Karunanidhi knows they are all belonging to Brahmin community. Like this several Brahmins are belonging to Sixty three Nayanmars have devoted their life to Lord Siva and done wonderful job for Tamil and Tamil culture.


Mahakavi Bharathi left an indelible mark as the poet of Tamil nationalism and Indian freedom. Dr. U. V. Swaminatha Iyer was a Tamil scholar and researcher who was instrumental in bringing many long-forgotten works of classical Tamil literature to light. His singular effort over five decades brought to light major literary works in Tamil and contributed vastly to the enrichment of its literary heritage. Dr. Iyer published over 91 books in his lifetime, on a variety of matters connected to classical Tamil literature, and collected 3067 paper manuscripts, palm leaf manuscripts and notes of various kinds. He is affectionly called as "Tamil Thatha" (Grandfather of Tamil)


The Brahmin community people in Tamil Nadu have contributed more, by way of promoting Tamil language, Music, Dance, Drama, Science, Math’s and other subjects. They have done wonderful job in promoting Tamil language, culture and Tamil grammar and also sacrificed their life for Indian Independence. By natural they are very simple people with great intelligence and devotion to God.


The Tamil Nadu Government on Saturday decided to host the ninth World Tamil Conference in Coimbatore from Jan 21 to 24, 2010.The decision was taken at a high-level meeting at the Secretariat presided over by Chief Minister M Karunanidhi. It was decided to set up several committees to look after preparations for the conference and also send out invitations to Tamil scholars the world over.

We request Kalaignar Karunanidhi to include Brahmin Scholars also in the conference without any caste hatred.

Lord Mayuranathar of Mayiladuthurai [Tamil Nadu] Tamil speech by Myiladuthurai S.V.Ramani.

Lord Mayuranathar of Mayiladuthurai [Tamil Nadu] Tamil speech by Myiladuthurai S.V.Ramani.


Mayuranathar Temple is located on the bank of River kauveri. According to the Hindu mythology, Annai Parasakthi danced in the form of a peacock and hence the place is called Mayiladuthurai. Devotees after worshipping Mayuranathar can travel from here to all the places of Navagrahas and other important temples by bus. The festival of Holy bath known as Kadai Muzhukku in the river Cauvery is celebrated in the month of Ippasi on the last day of the month. Near Mayiladuthurai, POOMBUHAR, NAGORE, VAITHEESWARANKOIL, TRANQUEBAR are the places of Interest to see.


Mayuram means peacock in sanskrit and it was later translated as Mayiladuthurai in tamil. Lot of sidhars have lived here. Even today we find an area called Sidharkaadu, a suburb of Mayuram. Legends also tell that it was a part of Tharukavanam. The legend goes that Daksha did not invite his daughter Parvati, and his son-in-law Lord Siva to the sacrifice he conducted. Being vexed at the disrespectful attitude of Daksha towards him, Lord Siva sent Veerabhadra, a minor deity, to go and desecrate the sacrifice conducted by Daksha. Lord Siva at the same time instructed Parvati Devi not to attend the yaga. However, the Devi attended the yaga, disobeying her Lord's prohibition. While Veerabhadra was desecrating the yaga, a peahen got injured and it immediately ran to Parvati Devi and took refuge under her. After everything was over, Parvati Devi repented very much for having disobeyed the Lord. To wash off the sin, she entered the fire. At the time of entering the fire, she was thinking about the peahen to which she gave refuge and so in the next birth she took the form of a peahen and came to this place. The Devi conducted penance for many years and at last attained re-union with Lord Siva. Hence the place came to be known as Mayuram or Mayavaram (Mayuram means peahen). The Lord of the temple came to be known as Mayuranatha. The other names by which this place is known are Sudavanam, Sikliandipuram, Brahmapuram, and Brahmavanam etc. The Devi is known as Abhayapradambika, Abhayambika, Anjalanayaki, Anjalai, etc., meaning one who gave refuge to the peahen.

Let us pray Mayuranathar and Abhayambikai and get their blessing for long and prosperous life.
