(exclusively for Tamizh speaking Shri Vaishnavas)

It has become the trend or fashion I can say that we are not allowing our children to learn Tamizh (which is our mother tongue). Also we give very least important to Tamizh as a subject/language. We pretty well know Samskritham & Tamizh are like two eyes for Shri Vaishnavam. We say Shri Vaishnavam is nothing but way ...

of life. Well, if it is going to be way of life then how come our next generation people either chant or understand Divya Prabandam and other Tamizh grantams? Now the kids don’t even know that they are doing mistake by not learning Tamizh, but in future they will regret and blame parents not given an opportunity to learn our mother tongue Tamizh. It will become too late for them when they realize.

Its not a blaming game. Though people are very much interested to learn Divya Prabandam, they are not, due to lack of knowledge in Tamizh. Am not against any languages. But one should learn and conversant in their own mother tongue. When I was working in Bangalore, I wonder even Kannada speaking people were not able to read street names which is written in Kannada, which is really pathetic. Do we really need such situation to our children?

Please let us motivate our children to read our mother tongue Tamizh and let them have the opportunity of enjoy the grantams which is written in Tamizh.

Asmath Sarva Gurubhyo Namaha!
