Dear Jeyamohan
Arjuna finally receives the
Pasubatham from Mahakalar & Kali. Thru the symbolic pebble
they teach him the tenets of the "Anal" and "Sivam". Interesting details
on the Pasubhata another form of Siva worship and the real "Astra" is
the knowledge of self and yoga.
It reminded
me of Thirumazhizai Alwar's, " Nanmuganai Narayanan than padaithan-
Nanmuganum thanmugamai Sankaranai than padaithan" (Nanmugan
Thiruvantadhi).
Somehow, I could not help
comparing the Kiratam with the tribal cultures of South Pacific islands.
The big feast or "Luau" and adorning the body with ash etc. Amazing
details of the Kirata landscape. One of these days, need to visit India
during Kumbh Mela to see the realized souls who still continue these
ancient traditions.
Mr. Shanmugavel's dancing Siva or "Analon" is superb. Thanks as always.
Warm regards
