Dear Divya Ramanan, 

Superbly written - every word is a nectar - don't know
and don't have words to express how much I enjoy.
Please keep up your excellent kaimkaryam...

Just a request - I am not sure if this question is
going to be covered in your next posting - can you
please explain in detail the connection between
thirumantram & akshtakshara mantram with this perumal
?
