COVID VACCINEWho should be vaccinated first?

Who else can take the vaccine?

While vaccine supplies are limited, it isrecommended that priority be given to health workers athigh risk of exposure and older people, including thoseaged 65 or older.

Countries can refer to the WHO PrioritizationRoadmap and the WHO Values Framework asguidance for their prioritization of target groups.

The vaccine has been found to be safe andeffective in people withvarious conditions that areassociated with increasedrisk of severe disease.

T h i s i n c l u d e shypertension, diabetes,asthma, pulmonary, liveror kidney disease, as wellas chronic infections thatare stable and controlled.

Further studies arerequired for the impactson immune-compromisedpersons. The interim recommendation is that immune-compromised persons who are part of a grouprecommended for vaccination may be vaccinated,though when possible, not before receiving informationand counseling.

Persons living with HIV are at higher risk ofsevere COVID-19 disease. Limited safety data exists onHIV-infected persons with well controlled disease fromthe clinical trials. Known HIV-positive vaccine recipientsshould be informed, and when possible, counseled inrelation to the available data.

Vaccination can be offered to people who havehad COVID-19 in the past. But given the limited vaccinesupply, individuals may wish to defer their own COVID-19 vaccination for up to 6 months from the time of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

The vaccine has not been studied in lactatingwomen, but it is not a live virus vaccine, the mRNA doesnot enter the nucleus of the cell and is degraded quickly,so it cannot interfere with cell functions.

If a lactating woman is part of a group (e.g. healthworker) recommended for vaccination, vaccination canbe offered. SAGE does not recommend discontinuingbreast feeding after vaccination. More evidence is beingsought in order to further inform WHO’s policyrecommendations on this subject.

Should pregnant women be vaccinated?

Who should not take thevaccine?

What is the recommended dosage?

Is it safe?

Does it work against new variants?

While pregnancy puts women at higher risk ofsevere COVID-19, very little data are available toassess vaccine safety in pregnancy.

Pregnant women may receive the vaccine if thebenefit of vaccinating a pregnant woman outweighs thepotential vaccine risks.

For this reason, pregnant women at high risk ofexposure to SARS-CoV-2 (e.g. health workers) or whohave comorbidities which add to their risk of severe

d i s e a s e , m a y b evaccinated in consultationwith their health careprovider.

P e o p l e w i t h ahistory of severe allergicr e a c t i o n t o a n ycomponent of the vaccineshould not take it.

The vaccine hasonly been tested in

children above 16 years of age. Therefore, at this time,WHO does not recommend vaccination of childrenbelow 16 years of age, even if they belong to a high-riskgroup.

A protective effect starts to develop 12 days afterthe first dose, but full protection requires two doseswhich WHO recommends be administered with a 21 to28-day interval. Additional research is needed tounderstand longer-term potential protection after asingle dose.

The Global Advisory Committee on VaccineSafety, a group of experts that provides independentand authoritative guidance to WHO on the topic of safevaccine use, receives and assesses reports ofsuspected safety events of potentially internationalimpact.

SAGE has reviewed all available data on theperformance of the vaccine in tests to assess efficacyagainst a variety of variants. These tests indicated thatthe vaccine was effective against virus variants.

Preliminary findings highlight the urgent need fora coordinated approach for surveillance and evaluation

SATHAABHISHEKAM“Sanaatana Dharma” (Hinduism) lays the

important stages in life as “Samskaaraas” (ceremoniousoccasions), beginning with “jaatha-naamakaranam”(naming ) a f t e r b i r t h , “annap raaseenam” ,“vidhyaarambam”, “yagnyopaveetham” (upanayanam),“vivaaham”, “sashti-abdha poorthi”, etc. These are inkeeping with the various “aasramaas” (phases) in lifelike “brahmacharyam”, “gruhastham”, “vaanaprastham”and “sannyaasam”. “Sathaabhishekam” is one suchimportant milestone in one’s later life. It is very rare tohave elders among us, especially at our own home andmore so to have one’s both parents in healthy mode.Greatly blessed are those who have both their parents,who have weathered through the rigorous of mundanelife and who still are guiding beacon to their wards withtheir rich experience. It is the duty of the wards tocelebrate their presence appropriately and seek theirblessings to the entire family-tree down the line.Parents become eligible for that when one is deemed tohave viewed 1,000 full-moons (“Sahasra PoornaChandra Darsana Prabhava Mahothsavam”). On theoccasion, holy water in 108 conchies (or kumbhaassymbolically) is consecrated by “Rudra EkadasiMahaanyasa Japam” performed by not less than 12“ritviks” and the elderly couple will be bathed with thatwater by all kith and kin, near and dear, depicting [‘Satha(100) Abhishekam’]. The celebration re-enacts areinforcement of their long wedded life with “MaangalyaDhaaranam” also. Then one and all seek the benignblessings and best wishes of the elderly parents, whoare adjudged to have successfully and safely crossedthe ocean of “Samsaara” and reached ashore. This isone occasion, which gives sanction for anyone whocomes to know about the function, to attend evenuninvited and seek the blessings of the elders.

of variants and their potential impact on vaccineeffectiveness. As new data become available, WHO willupdate recommendations accordingly.

There is currently no substantive data areavailable related to impact of vaccine on transmission orviral shedding.

In the meantime, we must maintain andstrengthen public health measures that work: masking,physical distancing, handwashing, respiratory andcough hygiene, avoiding crowds, and ensuring goodventilation

WHO does not usually make vaccine specificr e c o m m e n d a t i o n s , i s s u i n g i n s t e a d o n erecommendation that covers all vaccines for a givendisease, unless the evidence suggests a differentapproach is required.

Due to the large variety of COVID-19 vaccinesbased on very different platform technologies, WHO islooking at vaccines as they are authorized by highlycompetent national regulatory authorities and that areavailable in sufficient supply to address the needs ofmany countries.

WHO has no preferred product, and the variety ofproducts, including their specific attributes and handlingrequirements, allow for countries to find the productsthat are most suitable for their circumstances.

WHO’s SAGE is expected to review othervaccines in the coming months.

Does it prevent infection and transmission?

Most people unknowingly succumb to manymental illnesses.

Hair loss, overweight, thyroid, joint pain, visionproblems, various hormonal problems, migraines, fever,headaches, cancer, and many other diseases areunknowingly lured into the mind by people.

Diseases are all caused only by your negativethinking. Feeling we have 'Run out of gas' emotionallycan be debilitating.

You can't catch a fever, a cold or any other illness... unless you think so.If you think so,you are sending them in with yourthoughts. Don't talk about it even if youare a little unwell. Only talk if you wantmore of it .

Breathe beautifully and relaxedeven if you are a little unwell. Say asmany times as you can with goodintentions, "The gift of health keeps mealive. I'm wonderful, I'm happy."

You know the change in you rightaway ... do it. You can heal yourself with

your laughter and thoughts even if you are a littleunwell.

Diseases and germs cannot live in a happy orhappy body. Diseases are all a kind of signal. Diseasesall occur for the same reason. That's autism. Eliminatestress from the body first.

Then your body will heal itself with its naturallyacquired immunity. The amazing thing is that your bodyis naturally designed that way. You can heal yourself.

The accountant was surprised! Inthe days when he did not dress up in a play,Narasimhan's favorite job was to commenton silent films and earn a living.Narasimhan, who ran away when Vathiyarcalled, asked him to play Saraswati in theplay of the day. What is the recap of theguy's speech? Seeing Narasimhanplaying the role of Saraswati (Bharati), thepeople of the town and the locals gaveNarasimhan the title of 'Bharati' on thesame stage. Since then P.V. Narasimhanbecame Narasimha Bharathi.

N a r a s i m h a B h a r a t h i , w h ointroduced T.M. Soundarajan himselfbecame a rival to N.T. Ramarao at onetime. Narasimha Bharathi, with his build upbody and sexy face, was known as thebest female part actor at the age of fifteen. Egyptiandance, kuratti dance was also able to entertain theatricalfans. Seeing his talent, the Puliyampatti ZamindarNataka Sabha took him on a six-month lease for aMalaysian art tour.

Puliyampatti performed the play 'Bama Vijayam'there for 100 days. Narasimha Bharathi played the roleof female voice as an arrogant ‘Bama’ many MalaysianTamil fans doubt that when they play and sing, it is not awoman but a man. Fans took to the stage in the eveningafter the play. Narasimha Bharathi walked the squarewithout undressing and stretched her neck and boughtthe garland from the fans. To the happy fans who spentthe evening with Bama,

After the permit period, the Puliyampattiyar crewset sail for Nagapattinam port. Performed the play‘Krishna Leela’ on board for upper class passengers.After unloading the passengers at Nagapattinam, thethen super hit director of Tamil cinema, YV Roa boardedthe ship bound for Madras. YV Rao directed the movie'Chintamani' starring MKT and produced by 'MaduraiRoyal Talkies'i, the mother of drama based in Madurai.

The film had been running successfully inMadurai for over six months. How excited they wouldhave been if such a person had watched their play! Raowas surprised to see Narasimha Bharathi playing therole of a teenager Krishna and Rukmini the wife of theelder Krishna in the second half of the play. He invitedhim told "I am seeing me in you, I was acted as Krishnain my young age". Narasimha Bharathi felt veryexcitement. At that moment, the interest in acting incinema was contagious.

The 16-year-old came to Madras and soughtrefuge in Mylapore. Rao gave a small role to NarasimhaBharathi in the 1938 film BhaktaMeera. He also used him to give voiceover to some scenes in the film.Narasimha Bharathi was promoted toRajapart actor at the age of 18 afternot getting any film opportunities.Which had been concentrated inCoimbatore and Salem for about 6years until the return of Rajapart as abusy playwright as Ram, Krishna,Naradhar and Murugan, wasmagnetically pulled back.

Narasimha Bharathi, who waslooking for an opportunity in cinemawithout resting during the day by acting inplays, was introduced to Jupiter Somu bythe famous story of the 50s, narratorIlangovan. Somu was amazed to seeNarasimha Bharathi speaking and actingsome of the verses written by Ilangovan forthe film 'Kannaki' (1942) produced andpublished by Jupiter at that time.

Already a minor role in JupiterPictures's 'Srimurugan', he is a staunchCongressman and writer. NarasimhaBharathi made her acting debut in the film'Kanchan' (1947), written and directed byAyyamuthu Pillai for Jupiter. The filmmanages to entertain as well as inform,with its lyrical style, sweet songs and

reformist ideas. The title 'Kanchan' does not seem toappeal to generous Tamils. However, the next‘Digambara Samiyar’ (1950) dismissed NarasimhaBharathi.

‘Valmiki’ (1946) was a film directed by SunderlalNatkarni, who made famous films for Jupiter. In it,Natkarni made Narasimha Bharati appear as Rama andMahavishnu. He later rose to fame as Narada in the film‘Kannika’ (1947). Narasimha Bharathi will play the leadrole of Naradhar in this film which stars T.E. Varadhan asthe hero. The Lalita Padmini sisters made their debut asdancers in this film. After this, The incarnation ofKrishna, the goddess who stubbornly chased away theperson who appeared as Narada in the films naankanda sorgam (1960) and Dakshayagnam (1962).

It was the periodwhen the role was given tohim that if he wanted toplay the role of Krishna inTamil and Telugu, it wouldhave to be NT Rama .Narasimha Bharathi 'sglamorous look changed it.N a r a s i m h a B h a r a t h iplayed the role of Krishna in the critically acclaimed film'Abhimanyu' (1948) produced by Jupiter.

Following the huge success of the film, directorSundar Rao Natkarni directed 'Krishna Vijayam' (1950).The director opted for Narasimha Bharathi instead of NTRama Rao, who was nominated by his employers toplay Krishnan. The film manages to entertain as well asinform.

4 JUNE 2021

Situated on the banks of the Ganges near holyRishikesh in the Himalays, there was once an ashramthat had attracted a fair number of seekers due to theholiness of its presiding monk. The guru would take in allseekers who wanted to learn a life of dedication to God;but such was his love that he often did not discriminatewho he allowed to stay.

After some time, he noticed that the ashramiteswere often quarreling and he couldhear rude words that left him pained.'Why are they angry with oneanother?' the guru asked himself.But he could not bring himself tothrow anyone out - such was hiscompassion. One day he saw twoinmates fighting over food in theashram canteen. The incident lefthim shocked and he returned to hishut in a despondent mood. 'Whatcan be wrong with them?' he askedhimself. He was racked with theproblem of remedying the situationand elevating their souls. So, heincreased his discourses to themand gave more personal advice ontheir sadhana. The inmates'reverence for their guru increased,but unfortunately this did nottranslate in better behavior towardseach other.

The guru, then resolved to practice penance andask the Lord for divine help before matters could get anyworse. So, he shut himself away in his hut for a week,maintained silence and took a reduced diet. After somedays of intense prayers and meditation, he wasrewarded with a vision of celestial light. The guru wastransfixed in bliss as the Lord's nectarine voice camethrough the light: "My child, my dear child." The gurucould not believe his ears. He was thrilled to hear thesweet voice. "Is it really you, my lord?" he asked filledwith ecstasy and disbeliefs. "Yes, my child," God saidlovingly. "Tell me, what can I do for you?" The Guruprostrated to the Divine voice and said, "Dear Lord, bepleased to come to my ashram." "What for?" the Voiceasked. "You know everything, lord," the guru humblysubmitted. "Yet. I shall say it. The members of theashram hate one another; they are jealous of eachother. Lord, if you come and stay with us for a week, theywill be filled with pure and noble thoughts."

The kind Lord replied, "Certainly, I will come, butnot for one week, but for ever."The guru's joy knew no

bounds. But the Voice continued, "But only onone condition."

"What is it, my Lord," the guru asked eagerly. "Iwill come, but not in this form," the Lord clarified. "I willalways be at the ashram in the guise of one of theinmates. I shall always be moving in the hearts of one ofthem; it could be any one of them." With these words, theLight disappeared.

The Guru, after recoveringfrom that ethereal experience,opened the door of his hut and calledall the ashramites to assemble.When he informed them of God'swish to abide in their hearts theyrejoiced, but they were confusedtoo. "Is this inmate sitting near meGod in disguise?" One disciplethought. "Who could be 'God indisguise'?" Nobody knew andeverybody was left guessing and asa result careful too. For, each onethought, "How can I fight againstanyone here? What if he is one inwhom God is there now?" And, thusa subtle change slowly came overeach one of them. They began tosee God in everyone and took everyopportunity to help the other and be

kind and courteous. The whole atmosphere in theashram was now totally transformed - only love andharmony prevailed. The Guru was the happiest mannow. The Lord's trick had done wonders. If we reflect, wecan make our family, OUR SOCIETY and our earth justlike this ashram - full of peace and harmony - if only webelieve and practice the feeling that each one is just Godin a different form. Our life would become a sweetexperience, every moment.

"Tell him to come immediately," Natkarni said.Narasimha Bharathi immediately telegraphedSoundarajan. The next day, the composer Subbaiahasked Soundarajan, who had come to Coimbatore, tosing the song 'Radhe ne ennai vittup pokatadi'. TMSsang majestically without an orchestra at recordingstudio of Coimbatore Central Studio. The song was thenrecorded and finalized on the same day with the musicand the other songs in the film, which were in the malevoice, were given to TMS. Narasimha Bharathi got thefirst chance for his friend. The first song that was sungTMS as a playback singer.

Narasimha Bharathi, a close friend of directorNatkarni, called Krishna 'Krishna' even though his visitto Krishna vijayam was not as successful as expected.Narasimha Bharathi, who should have grown upalongside MGR and Shivaji, he never stood up toanyone for a chance. He never hesitated to act insupporting roles when there were no opportunities forthe hero.

Narasimha Bharathi, who at one point was slowlysidelined from the screen, he began to love his motherlytheater stage without any regrets. The composer of theday, Govindarajulu, has performed more than 300‘special’ plays with great sets all over Tamil Nadu inassociation with the theater troupe.

Pattiiswaram, is a Siva temple of antiquity withmany rare specimens of architecture,constructed by the Chola princes the great

builders of the past. The peculiar name of the Siva Lingais derived from the legendary worshipper called Patti.

The story goes to show that the celestial cowKamadhenu had four daughters, viz.,Patti, Chapali, Vimali and Nandini. Theeldest daughter Patti worshipped Siva inthis temple and used to make ablution tothe Lingam, by discharging milk from herudders. Siva was immensely pleased withthe devotional worship of Patti. Siva isalso known as Dhenupureeswara. Patti'sother sisters worshipped Siva at differentplaces, Chapali at Arametraligai, Vimali atVadatali and Nandini at Kizhapazhayar.

Another story connected to thistemple is that Gnanasambandar cameupto Tiruchettimutram during the courseof his tour, worshipping the deities atdifferent temples of South India. It wasmidday of the mid-summer month i.e., Ani(June-July) and he felt too tired to proceedfurther to see Lord Dhenupureeswara atPattiiswaram.

The desire was intense but theweakness of the flesh and heat outsidethwarted his desire. When the desire issincere and that too of an ardent devotee,the Lord at once takes steps to remove theobstacles in the fulfillment of his devotee'sdesire. Dhenupureeswara immediatelyordered his servant disciples (Bhootaganas) to erectcanopies of pearl throughout the way so thatGnanasambandar, his beloved disciple, couldcomfortably traverse the distance without being affectedby the heat of the midday sun.

The command was immediately executed andGnanasambandar proceeded to the temple. Thecelestial beings are no exceptions to the ties of love. Thefather Dhenupureeswara wanted to enjoy the sight ofhis beloved son coming from a distance. But thepresence of his Vahanam, Nandi in front, ostructed thefull view of the procession of Gnanasambandar to thetemple. Hastily Lord Dhenupureeswara ordered Nandito move to a side leaving the front view free fromobstruction. In this temple, therefore, Nandi is not in itsusual position but a little on the right side.

After the obstruction moved to a side, the Lordenjoyed from the sanctum sanctorum the ceremonialprocession of his devoted disciple Gnanasambandar.The strange incident so overwhelmedGnanasambandar with joy that hestarted spontaneously to sing tensongs in praise of God.

God seeks man as ardently asm a n s e e k s G o d . W h e nGnanasambandar was pining to havea darsan of the Lord, his Father,Dhenupureeswara, the latter was alsop i n i n g t o s e e h i s s o nGnanasambandar, reciprocating thesame feelings.

Even now the festival is celebrated every year incommemoration of this incident on the first day of Aniwith great pomp and solemnity, when the image ofGnanasambandar is taken to Tirumetraligai andTiruchettimutram Sri Saktivaneswara Swami temple in apearl palanquin. From there the decorations of the

palanquin will be removed and the imagewill be taken into the Muthu Pandal atmidday and the function will reach itsclimax when Dhenupureeswara givedarshan at the sanctum.

At night Gnanasambandar is takenin procession under the name MuthuPandal and Dhenupureeswara withGoddess Gnanambal will come inprocession in a pearl palanquin decoratedas a pearl celestial car, and give darshanto all. The quintessence of the ceremonyis the devot ional love betweenGnanasambandar the devotee and hisLord Dhenupureeswara.

Another legend connected with thistemple is that Sri Rama visited this templefor getting rid of his Chaya Dosha, stigmaof reflection. For killing Ravana and hishordes, Sri Rama contacted threedi fferent k inds of s ins namely,Brahmahatti, Veerahatti and Chaya. SriRama is no exception to the natural Law,though an incarnation of God.

At this temple he installed thelingam known as Ramalingam. He causedthe emergence of a well by a shaft from his

bow to make the Dhanushkodi Teertham for the Lingainstalled by him. The holy water of Dhanushkodi isconsidered the most sacred of all waters for worshippingLord Siva. At midday on the new-moon day of the monthof Margazhi (December-January) Sri Rama offered thisworship.

After doing this Rama got redemption from hisChaya Dosha. Near the well there is the image ofHanuman, the monkey chief of the battalion of Sri Ramaon his journey to Lanka. As usual there is a holy tank infront of the temple, having an image of Vinayaka, theelephant headed God of learning, the eldest son of Sivaand Parvati at the Creation of Universe. The name of theVinayaka isAjna Ganapati.

At the northern entrance to the temple there is thedeity Goddess Durga. It is considered to be the mostpowerful deity in the locality. The black granite stoneimage of Goddess Durga is imposing and awe-inspiring.The face looks so benign that the head of the devotee is

reverently bowed down at the very sight of theimage as we do to our mother at home.

The Goddess is so powerful that since her arrivalat this temple, the original temple has lost itsprominence and people throng for blessings from heronly. The people of the locality and devotees fromexperience it far and near that a desire cherished in themind while in her presence is fulfilled on return or soonafter.

The charming mother is standing on a lion withthe head of a buffalo and the demon Mahishasuraremains lurking in disguise in the buffalo's side. Sheholds Sankha and Chakra in her hands. She holds aparrot in her left hand and the mane of the lion in theright. The Mother has eight hands holding differentcustomary weapons for different occasions.

Comparison of Sourashtra

Basic Vocabulary with MarathiIn the 39th All India Conference of Dravidian

Linguists held in Punjabi University, Patiala from14thJune 2011 to 16th June 2011, I read my secondpaper under the title ‘Comparison of Sourashtra BasicVocabulary with Marathi’. It was found that out of 600words, 49% (293 words) tally with Marathi.

Dr.H.N. Randle has stated in his article thatSourashtra language is not a dialect of Gujarati for itsvocabulary is predominantly Marathi. This made me tomake a comparative study with Marathi.

Moreover, Govt. of India in their Census Report in1971 Sourashtra language was stated as 68thrank inthe list of languages spoken in India. But in 1991 CensusReport it was shown as a dialect of Gujarati underSchedule Language Gujarati.

In Tamil Nadu, the speakers of Sourashtra weremerged with Gujarati and shown as Gujarati only. Thisalso induced me to make a study of my mother tongueSourashtra comparing with other sister languages.

I have now made a comparison with basicvocabulary only. The comparison of the grammaticalstructures will be taken up later.

As on date, we do not understand Gujarati andGujaratis also do not understand Sourashtra language.Then how the Govt. of India Census authorities haveremoved our language in the list of languages whosespeakers are more than 10000 in 1991 and 2011Census Reports?

In previous Census reports, it was stated thatpending detailed investigation, it is tentatively groupedwith Gujarati as per Linguistic Survey of India.

The reply received from the Census Authoritiesare evasive and full details as to how the decision wasarrived at to remove Sourashtra language in the list oflanguages whose speakers are more than 10000 arenot explained.

To ensure the Rights of Linguistic Minorities, it willbe better if it is shown as a distinct language in theCensus reports in future.

I invite other Linguists to come forward to makesimilar comparative studies with other sister languagesand determine the status of our Sourashtra languages inthe family tree of Indo-European Languages in India.[Indo-Aryan terminology is not used nowadays!]

I am a life member of Dravidian LinguistsAssociation, Thiruvananthapuram since 2001. I havebeen attending the All India Conferences held in manycentres like Thiruvananthapuram, Dharward, Mysore.

My first paper “SourashtraLanguage, Literature and Script’ wasread in the National Seminar onSourashtra Society, Language andCulture held at Gita NatanagopalaNayaki Mandir, Madurai from 8.8.1997to 10.8.1997 under the auspices ofDepartment of Linguistics, MaduraiKamaraj University and InternationalSchool of Dravidian Linguistics,Thiruvananthapuram.

The secret of the snake codeThe symbol engraved with a stick of two snakes

can be found in hospitals, on a doctor's vehicle and ontheir visiting card, and on a letter pad with an address.

That code is being used all over the world as asymbol of the medical field. Such a symbol can be seenin the Shiva temple and Amman temple complexes, as

well as underthe royal trees.

If we visitsuch serpents h r i n e si n s t a l l e d i ntemples once aday, a l l thedeeds we didthat day will beremoved fromus. The medicalprofession hasset its mark onthese scars.

It is nosecret that many incurable diseases can be cured bydaily visit to the serpent. Our forefathers used to visitthese temples every day to pay homage to theseserpents. Thus they were in good healthy condition.

This is something modern humans do not know.In astrology, Mars is called Rogakkaragan (the cause ofdisease), Satru Karagan (the cause of enmity),Runakkaragan (the cause of debt harassment).

This Mars reaches the asteroid star, i.e. goesdormant. "Ayilyam" means "to embrace" or "toembrace." The image of the ayilyama star is that of aserpent. So it is a secret that if we visit the image of theserpent every day, all our sins will be removed from us.

SourashtraS a n g i t aRamayanam waso r i g i n a l l yp u b l i s h e d i nTelugu script in1905 because itwas then easy toprint Sourashtralanguage usingTelugu script, for itcontained 4 ka i.e.ka, kha, ga andg h a . I t a l s ocontained short ‘e’a n d s h o r t ‘ o ’vowel.

At that timethough Sri T.M.Ramarai printed

books in Sourashtra script, yet many people were notaware of this. So, they printed the magnum opus in ourSourashtra language i.e. Sourashtra SangitaRamayanam.

Over a period of time, Telugu lost its hold andTamil came to be dominant in all printing matters.So Sri K.V. Padmanabhaier printed Bala Kandam andAyodhya Kandam only of Sourashtra SangitaRamayanu using Tamil script, in 1944, with the fundsprovided by Sri T.B. Krishnaier.

Later, when Dr. UchidaNorihiko, came to Madurai to studySourashtra language in 1972, theremaining Kandams viz. AranyaKandam, Kishkinda Kandam, SundaraKandam and Yuddha Kandams weretransliterated i.e. the songs werecopied in Tamil script so thateverybody who knows Tamil script canread the Ramayana.

This work was done by Sri SettiS.K. Ramalingaier, a Sourashtra, who

Kavi Venkata Suri’s Sourashtra Sangita Ramayanamwas teaching Telugu to Sourashtras. The project wasfinanced by Sri O.S.Subramanian. SourashtraSaahitya Likkunaar Sadas printed Kishkinda Kandam inAugust 1990 and Aranya Kandam in Tamil script inJanuary 1992. Sundara Kandam was printed in TamilScript in 1990 by Bhaashaabhimani. Nobody cameforward to print Yuddha Kandam.

One gent leman Sr i M.S. Ramani o fTirubhuvanam tried to print Yuddha Kandam; but it wasobjected on the ground that Yuddha Kandam alonecannot be printed as a book; The whole Ramayanam -all the six Kandams are to be published in a single bookas was done while printing in Telugu script.

Dr. T.R. Damodaran, evinced interest inSourashtra Language after his retirement fromSourashtra College.

He took xerox copy of the transliteratedRamayanam in Tamil script available with SriO.S.Subramanian.

Sri V.K. Krishnamoorthy, M.A. (Sanskrit) cameforward to write the meaning for the Kiirthanas. Andnow, Vol. 1 Bala Kandam is published and released on1.2.2013 in Chennai at a function of C.P. Ramasami IyerFoundation of Ramayana Conference. It is pricedRs.100. The other Kandams will be released in duecourse, it is learnt.

It was published in KUSO's Voice of KUSO in April2013 issue.
