Adiyen said this in a reflective mood since my mind for a moment went back in time to say the 9/10th century and wondered if in those days people who gathered for the arayar-sevai ever thought of things like "untoward incidents" and "bandobast". adiyen doubts it. adiyen was only making a stray comment on how harsh and loud these days are the intrusions of the secular world into the religious. Hope respected Anbil Swami avargal will not otherwise misunderstand adiyen's remarks. dAsan, Sampathkumaran __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Thousands of Stores.
