KAMBAR

Raama Kaathai (Kamba Ramayanam) arengetram

happened in a mandapam just opposite Mettu Azhagiyasingar Sannathi at Srirengam Ranganathaswamy Temple.

Initial stages of arengetram of his epic Kambar faced the wrath of Chola king, as no rich people was willing to help, he approached saints and they advised him to go to Srirangam temple.

In my school days students were misguided by political parties asking to burn copies of Kamba Ramaynam and we followed it. When Kambar was facing severe attacks many Tamil Scholors and very particularly S.Ganesan of Karaikudi and Nagarathar Community rose to the occasion and brought Kamban more familiar among the people of India and world. It is learnt that Kambaramayanam has crossed more than 300 different language translations in the world.

Even Prime Minister of India Narendra Modiji referred Kamban lines during the Foundation stone laying ceremony for Ram temple at Ayodhya yesterday.
