I am sure this notice will bring down this nuisance to a great extent.<br />Regards and best wishes.<br />K.Vasudevan Erode.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1918517392635880669.post-44556854851565240622012-01-23T16:33:34.145+05:302012-01-23T16:33:34.145+05:30This only show our disregard towards our own prope...This only show our disregard towards our own property/natural resources .

It is amazing, wonderful and just the thing I have been looking for. Could you send me your e-mail address? I need to request you to help me locate a very less known(or even unknown) temple in recent days. I am afraid I will have to give a bit of explanation regarding this. My late father-in-law was a Vadakalai Iyengar. His kula deivam (family diety) was a temple near Adhanakottai in Pudukottai district. I need to locate this. Before this let me tell me he expired before my marriage I haven't even talked to him. All this was recounted by my mother-in-law to me after marriage several times. Even she has not seen this temple since my father-in-law left his native Adhanakottai and came to Chennai to work in his teens.Further my in-laws had a love marriage and my m-in-law is from the Chettiar community so there was no chance of her being accepted as daughter-in-law in the orthodox Iyengar commununity. Thus she could not have been taken to the kula deivam temple or told about it as it would been done to a bride of the same community.<br /><br />Anyways my m-in-law tells me that she has heard my father-in-law tell her several times that his kula deivam in a very remote place near Adhanakottai and the deity is a Kamakshi amman which is very small and in a sitting position like Aiyappan (Kuthukal). I humble request you to let me know if you come across such a deity or temple. I have long wondered about it. I wish to visit it at least once in my time if it exists. I have a belief (that was prevalant in my maternal home) that the kula deivam should be worshipped regularly. Since my father-in-law had left his place and did not wish to contact his family regarding this, he worshipped the Mangadu Kamakshi Amman instead fervently.Vaishno Devinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1918517392635880669.post-26030829790257385842012-01-09T21:40:11.058+05:302012-01-09T21:40:11.058+05:30so bad! they haven't left any place!so bad! they haven't left any place!joshi danielhttp://joshidaniel.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1918517392635880669.post-80297538533329129352012-01-08T15:30:14.122+05:302012-01-08T15:30:14.122+05:30so true.... we have seen this too at many temples ...so true.... we have seen this too at many temples and monuments and it is really an irritating sight..... the complete lack of interest and respect for our ancestors' efforts is what gets to me...Anuradha Shankarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10460310200883662583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1918517392635880669.post-16943475414111329272012-01-04T16:28:50.322+05:302012-01-04T16:28:50.322+05:30beautiful pics showing the corrupt and uneducated ...beautiful pics showing the corrupt and uneducated methods of people.<br />Happy new yearsmhttp://realityviews.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1918517392635880669.post-2511795559918481632012-01-04T14:25:31.244+05:302012-01-04T14:25:31.244+05:30Thanks everyone for your valuable inputsThanks everyone for your valuable inputsPadmapriya TShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05424226163748454537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1918517392635880669.post-56322119465483235002012-01-03T11:47:33.341+05:302012-01-03T11:47:33.341+05:30Its seriously Kolaveri..!!

Just few days back i went to the new golden temple in vellore. For no reason, people where throwing coins into water fountain, there where no signs telling them the significance of the artificial fountain. But, the presence of some coins in the water and no restrictions was enough for our people to try to get the gods attention. People need rules or what one does becomes the norm, like writing their names on their wall, why blame them its our ancestors desire to write on walls that gave us lot of info :). Just need some strict rules. <br />Nice article and concern.RamesHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01856349738040855145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1918517392635880669.post-38488851794289280112011-12-31T19:45:43.395+05:302011-12-31T19:45:43.395+05:30OMG!

Most of all our thinking should change, only then this menace can be curbed. <br /><br />Thank you Ma'm for bringing this issue up and at least trying something from your side to correct it to an extent. :)Akshay Kumar Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17254072109005538953noreply@blogger.com
