From the Bhakti List Archives

• August 7, 1995


I belong to kausika gotram, can't really think
of anyone 'high and mighty' related to me. There
might have been some, but I don't know them.

My paternal grandfather is from 'kariyaappattiNam'
near thiruththuRaip pooNdi, don't remember any
fancy attachments to his name. He was called
thiruvEngadaach chaariyaar.

The rest of my family simply adds an 'aiyangaar'
to the names.
