As I had mentioned in my previous note, these words were written long before
I had placed my full faith and trust in an AchAryan who could teach me
properly. I guess it is true what they say about someone's past coming back
to haunt them.

Please note that tantra and prabhandam also are part of Veda, not just the
four famous books that even wegrade school students in America know as the
Four Sacred Scriptures of Hinduism. Veda is wisdom, and as such in
non-contradictory and all inclusive. While from a Western anthropologist's,
it could be argued to distinguish Tamil from Sanskrit culture, from the
standpoint of Vedic scholars, this arguement has logical basis.
