Dear Anand, I admire and respect your faith and respect for Sri Mahaperiaval. Apart from the explanations given by Mahaperiaval, there are others as well. What may be right interpretation to one need not necessarily mean the end of it all to the other. Am very well aware that 'science' cannot be applied to these matters. I just hope the likes of me is free to explore and discuss things on this thread. Thankyou.
