Kumaraswamiyam -4 The ost ancient tamil classic by Viswalingam Padmanabhan

KumaraSwamiyam – 4 the most ancient tamil classic by Viswalingam Padmanabhan

Copy Editor: R. Ramanathan

A ‘Mission Saptarishis’ Initiative

Tamil is one of the most ancient Indian languages & there are many classical Jyotisha secrets in Tamil literature that cannot be found elsewhere in  Indian  languages.  One  such  is ‘KumaraSwamiyam’  &  many  scholars have  given  it  the  highest  pedestal attributing their phenomenal predictions to  this  classic.  In  Tamil  language, Kumaraswami means Lord Muruga son of Lord Shiva. Initially Lord Shiva is telling astrology to Lord Muruga here & he in return passes it on to Rishi Agasthiyar (Agasyta) that our current deeds are based on past karma.

In the translation assignment, this author has striven very hard to give below the best possible translation from his knowledge & trust many will agree. If they have some corrections/suggestions on the same, they can contact us. One will appreciate & understand how difficult it is to translate from a traditional epic given in poetic Tamil of good olden days, into modern Tamil and then into English. It is a very painstaking job that deserves accolades.

Please find below this ancient text continued from previous parts.
