Produktbeschreibung
"You may have understood and/or recognised one or more of those greetings in a number of languages in a gathering, but if the conversation went any further, would you be able to follow? "How would you feel in the place of worship, if the prayers are conducted in a language which you barely understand?" This book is for Tamil Hindus. You may be living in India, Sri Lanka or in any part of the world; it doesn't matter, this book would serve its purpose if you can read and understand Tamil. Sanskrit is a dead language and now spoken by less than 1% of Indians and is mostly used by Hindu priests during religious ceremonies. Does any Tamil Hindu understand the verses chanted in Sanskrit during Hindu rituals? Does the Brahmins by birth who chants mantras understand the meaning of them? Why we Tamils are in this fantasy? Is it time for us to ameliorate?

Autorenporträt
My name is Jeyaratnam (Nesamany Puththiran) and I am a self-published author and an avid reader up here in Sydney. You might think I became an author because Sydney is in COVID lockdown, but no I was an author first and moved to the lockdown second. I am a non-fiction writer about Tamil, which means I spend most of my time explaining to people why it is good to be a Tamil.When I am not writing, I am reading Tamil literature books like "Thirukural, Akananooru, Puranaanooru, Silapathikaaram etc, English translation of Hindu scripts and History of Sri Lankan Tamils.However, this is the first time I am publishing a hard copy of a book and I need your support.
