1. gay...good article. loved reading it. minor nits<br /><br />1. gayathri manthra Its 28 times (10, 28 or 108) never 26. I think your noted it down wrong. the family you met wouldve never said 26<br />2.(not a nit but FYI) People named Sthalasayanam are rarely from outside of mahabalipuram. Sthalasayanam temple is the equivalent of tricplicane temple in mahabs<br />3. Thenkalai are not more orthodox than vadakalai :-). its the other way around.Hawkeyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10761232960391758109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17929252.post-84314135782157154862013-04-11T01:22:32.729+05:302013-04-11T01:22:32.729+05:30Beautifully written.Beautifully written.Niveditahttp://cinemacorridor.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17929252.post-76063314444296219062013-04-03T19:42:58.813+05:302013-04-03T19:42:58.813+05:30Lovely piece of writing!
