I watched #KantaraMovie today and was thrilled while watching the #Varaha #Worship scenes. Appa had narrated a story where some 20+ years back he travelled with forest rangers deep into the south Canara forest in the middle of the night to see Bhuta worship dance and ritual.

/1
He took some amazing photographs with his film camera very similar to the visuals in the movie. We are trying to locate those photographs. Will share it soon.

/2
I watched Rishab Shetty's interview in #Tamil and what a conviction in his #Hindu #Belief (#Deiva_Vazhipadu)! Appa would have loved this movie!

Congrats to the entire #KantaraMovie team for bringing out our regional traditions and culture to #entertainment field🙏.

It is #fascinating to read #Hultzsch books on South Indian Inscriptions published by the #ASI in 1899. In volume III, he has written in detail about many temples.

/1
In chapter one, he has recorded most inscriptions in the #Ukkal #Vishnu #temple called Pūvaṇimāṇikka-Viṣṇugraham, i.e., the temple of ‘Bhuvanamāṇikya’. This word means, 'the ruby of the world'.

/2
The deity of the temple is #Tiruvāymoḻi #Dēvar. This is the name of that portion of #Nālāyiradivyaprabandham which was composed by Śaṭagopa alias Nammāḻvar.

Please watch this enlightening lecture by Dr. #Nagaswamy titled "Lecture on water management in olden days"

Where Appa talks in great detail about the water management by the great #Kopperunchinga #Kadavan chieftain highlighting his #Tamil and #Sanskrit inscriptions.

"பேணு செந்தமிழ்‌ வாழப்‌ பிறந்த காடவ கோப்பெருஞ்சிங்க"

#கோப்பெருஞ்சிங்கன், #காடவன், #செந்தமிழ், #கல்வெட்டு
This is the #Tamil portion of #Kōpperuñjiṅga #inscription
1 ஸ்வஸ்தி ஸ்ரீ -சகலபுவனச்சக்கரவத்தி காடவன் அவனி ஆளப்பிறந்தான் கொப்பெருஞ்சிங்கன்
2 திரிபுவனமாதெவி எரிகரை பல இடங்களிலும் உடைந்து எரியும் துருந்து மதகுகளும் முறிந்

While adding index to Chapter 11 #Vedic #Courts in Tamil Nadu, the Land of Vedas (#TTLV) authored by my father Dr. #Nagaswamy, I came across this fantastic reference that Appa quotes "Ancient Hindu Judicature" authored by G.R. Rao in the year 1920.

/1
A must read for every #Indian #Lawyer to understand our #ancient #Indian #Law #Code.

Appa writes "Yājñavalkya was an extraordinary personality whose code is admired even by modern exponents of Law. "

1. The year was 2000 and Dr. #Nagaswamy travelled frequently to the temple town of Uttaramerūr, near Kāñchipuram.

@kalabaski, @SreeIyer1
2. He was immersed in the remarkable features of this village. Its Village assembly hall had transacted the village administration for over five hundred years which still exists in its original position with all its records.

@kalabaski, @SreeIyer1
3. After frequent visits to this village, Dr. #Nagaswamy wrote one of his best selling books உத்தரமேரூர்
/Uttaramerur in Tamil and English. Excerpts of this best seller has been translated into French.

1. I am looking for volunteers to edits certain books and articles of Dr. R. #Nagaswamy with editing skills in Tamil, Sanskrit and English. The editing part involves critically checking consistencies, diacritical marks for Tamil and Sanskrit according to international standards.
2. Many articles and books are written in British English and needs checking for grammar. Inline references need to be verified with end of the chapter Notes and References.

@KanchiMatham, @kalabaski
3. Some of you have graciously agreed to help us in the editing process. Dr. #Nagaswamy's work in monumental and we need an army of volunteers to preserve his work in a timely manner for the current and future generations. We are greatly indebted to volunteers for helping us 🙏.
