chidhambara ragasiyam-2



               Fine. First article on that book deals with that chidhambara ragasiyam. And it goes on to more than 10 or 12 pages to justify its claims it lays down at the outset of the article.

               Now came the interesting part. in response to this post.....

http://neidhal.blogspot.in/2015/09/chidhambara-ragasiyam-1.html

               Group received a couple of messages regarding that.

               One, who forwarded that message, defended saying, “ 75% of chidhambara rahasyam I have read in museum near nataraja idol.”

               (I wonder, Was the secret not just one?! What’s 75% of it, what are the rest 25%?! Oh…come on…..how desperately we attempt to defend a lost case!!!  Again….. whats the guarantee that those messages in museum were NOT written by someone similar to the one who wrote that whatsapp msg too?! What’s the guarantee that those info are genuine/authentic?!!)

               Cool…..there wont be answer to all these simple questions. Further we remained silent, not to take it further.

               Another one, protested, declaring, “ chidhambaram is my birth-place. And I think, the explanation that you gave, is not true. It’s a holy town in saivism, a town of the five-holy-elements. Is it not better to avoid forwarding wrong-messages? pls”

               Here…we had to reason a bit…..
               ‘how can you simply declare a message is WRONG?’
   ‘Why should one readily believe the FIRST forwarded message to be true?’
               ‘if the second message IS wrong, why cannot the first message be wrong too?’

Endless questions like these….to which we may not get answers in a friendly way. Yet considering the polite protest. We had to reply……



1. gratitude, with regards, to you, since you registered your protest politely.

2. forwarded, only what manjai.vasandhan had written in that book. which one to believe? whether to believe the first forward, or the one found in book? all my confusion was about "which one to believe? which is correct?" and it was just a confusion, not my declaration/verdict. that's the reason, i rather questioned, ' which is correct? who knows? '. i didnot give a final verdict that, " only what iiiiiiiiii say is correct".

3. at the dusk, if someone doubts whether what's on the walkway is 'snake or rope', is it not fair that anyone would be very cautious? if someone says it's snake and another says it's just rope.....wont we become confused and doubtful?!  wont we naturally try to know, 'which one is correct?'

4. whoever(even natives of chidhambaram) says whatever....whatever it may be about (holy/temple city)....is it not arriving at the truth the right course?!

5. if actual rope looks like a snake, then it's false positive. if a real snake looks like a rope, then it's false negative. let the NEUTRAL decide which is true/right?
