Dear Swamin,
 
My humble self do not know the Saastras inquired by your learned self but I 
have had the oppurtunity to have listened to Sri.Krishna Premi Swamigal who 
during a upanyasam said that Sri.Alavandar clarified to Aakiyalvan that "As a 
single cocunut tree cannot be  called a 'Thoppu' , we cannot call a single 
mother totally unbarren. 
 
But there is no basis of calling a single son as 'no son at all'. 
 
Dasan

Dear SvAmin,

Nice reading your write-up on Alavandar's life. Just one question to 
you, however, on the above passage, if you don't mind.

Can you pls. enlighten which 'sacred law' is that which says "an only 
son is no son at all'? 

Sir, ever since I read your mail I've been deeply troubled. FYI, I 
happen to be the 'only son' (the only offspring, in fact) to my dear 
parents! After all these years, I shudder to think I amount to simply 
nothing in the world. Not even a good son to my parents?

Sir, I beg you to please clarify at the earliest and set my worst 
fears to rest.

Deeply concerned,
dAsan,
Sudarshan
