hi friends
gr8 to find that there are so many ppl who liked the novel.i too,have read the novel numerous times,since my child hood days.but i have one query in my mind ,for which unfortunately,i cudnt find any answer in the novel.who really is the father of nandhini?kalki ,himself has not answered this question clearly..In one part he says she is the daughter of the pandia king whom she tried to save.Then in some another place he says she was born to another guy whom he refers as karunthiraman,who saved her from the sea.
Can someone throw some light on this...

Kalki Krishnamoothy is still living and will live for ever. He is celeberated as AMARAR just like Rabindranath Tagore and Mahakavi Bharathi. To my judgement Amarar Krishnamoorthy is not second to Shakspeare. Ponniyin selvan is such a great creation because almost all the characters living in his mega novel live in our imagination.
I dont know why these cinema producers never think about making films sellecting stories from the novel. Sexy Love unbelievable fights and belly dances are the only sequences the South Indian cinema businessmen think the Tamil women old women boys and girls would like.Damn sin.

Deepa,
Nandhipuraththu Nayaki is not by Kalki. It was written by 'Vikraman' (editor of 'Amudha Surabi' magazine)

Hello friends,

Really I am very happy that these much fans are there to Ponniyin Selvan (here after we may call as "PS").
I have read three times the PS from my childhood days in Kalki weekly cuttings where we can feel the character on us by Maniam selvam drawings of each and every part. So the good way of making this book is through Kalki weekly, if it is running now.
And also I would like to tell that "If anybody want to feel the days of Rajaraja Cholan ("RC"), you have to go once Thanjavur Big temple and Palace.
I use to go regularly there whenever I visited to native. Yes, Thanjavur is my native and am proud of it.
Have a visit to Big temple at the morning time which is good time to feel the great architecture of RC and his contemporarians and have ride to Palace at evening time. The present palace is actually not a RC's one, it is Maratia king's ("MK"). I heard that RCs palace was located near Srinivasapuram area behind to Big temple. Recently somebody has found one great pillar built 1000 years ago while digging there for house construction. Come to present palace, here the vibration, lighting and smell which I felt of by the buildings and things is really carrying me to the RC's days. The same vibrations might have pesent in the RC's days. Becaue this present palace was built in the same sand of RC's 300 to 400 years ago by MKs. These feelings I had from my childhood days whenever I visted the Palace with my grandpa. So please have a ride to Thanjavur to fulfill the PS fan.
Thanks to share my thoughts.

Rajesh.

I read all the 5 volumes of Ponniyin Selvan at a stretch and completed within 4 weeks. Just can't take my eyes off. But I missed the lively paintings of Maniam Selvan, since i read the downloaded versions from the Net. Can anybody let me know whether these paintings are uploaded somewhere in the net. I would be grateful to them. Please mail me the URL to vksankaran@yahoo.com

Thanks in advance,

i am an aredent fan rather a mad of kalkis novels both historical,social and comedy.i am so fortunate to have the collection of ponniyin selvan the one serialises in 1955 with drawings of maniam and the second one with vinu thirs one again reproduction of manian and fourth one also.
i have collectionof his novels and interested in collecting his articles under the pen name of karnatakam

[Beerinkol]

ponniyin selvan a wondernovel one gets trabsformed in to the character as the character comes. many a times i got transformed in to vandhiyadevan and arul mozi varmar as well as kundavai.all the characters finding their way in me.and the characters are lively drawn by manaiam,second vinu venkatram,thirs reproduced from manaiam fourth manaim selvan and fifth time by srilnakn artist all are wonderfully but the later ones are just reproduction of the original ones of manaim.the pazuvettariyars both peria and chinna are illustrated by the great artist maniyam so nicely .i have read the all the five parts over 50 times narrations are similar to that of alexander dumas.

[Drugmachine]

every one who read the ponniyin selvan will be addicted to the novel. no wonder the film personalities trying to picturise the story. From M.G.R to kamal every one tried making the film. But its their ego which prevented them doing the film. they have confusion chosing the role whether to take vanthiyathevan who comes all along the story or the hero arulmozhivarmar.
anyhow as vijay said if it is made into a film the all our imaginations will be ruined.

[Lt_Apple]

A damn good book that will take you to the ancient times and make you see all the events with your own eyes. I enjoyed it very much. Im glad to know that there is an English version of this great work. Oooopphhhewww...... no words to say.......

Ponniyin Selvan - after reading so many times, I was left wondering, who is the hero in this. My God! can anyone write a novel of 5 volumes, but the reader will not have an idea whether Arulmozi Varman or Vandhiya Thevan is the hero. Going by the title it may be Arulmozi but the story goes with Vandiya Thevan. Also, characters like Azwarku Adiyan, Kandamaran, Pinagabani (you can add on ...) are really memorable. In fact, few years back, with my friend in Bangalore, our office collegues were compared with the Characters of P. Selvan. It was great fun. Most of the characters were there.

[Fegasderty]

Oh well what words can do justice to Ponniyin Selvan ? I read the first three parts in physical format and the last two parts in electronic format....None of todays english novels can come anywhere near this master piece....
