Dear Jeyamohan
Pichandavar made a grand
entrance in the first chapter of Kiratam smoking weed, dancing,
barbecuing small animals and also teaching the meaning of self to
Vaisampayana. Diametrically opposite to the "Vinnalandhon"! In the
concluding chapter Chandan joins the Kalamukhas led by a
Pichandavar whereas Bylan and team proceed onwards searching for the
Narayana Vedam may be from "Agasthyar". I could imagine the
"Vinnadiyars" singing the Nammalwar pasuram on seeing Chandan !!!
"Pesa ninra Sivanukkum Biraman thanakkum pirarkum nayagan avane
Kabala nanmokkattuk kandu kolmin" (10th Thirumozhi)
A great
episode on Arjuna's wanderings. Beautiful narration on the formation
of different Saiva sects and the unique practices to become ""Sivoham".
Waiting to read the next episode. Thank you.
