Indian National Poet Maha Kavi Bharathiar. Tamil Speech by S.V.Ramani.
Subramaya Bharathi was born to Chinnasami Subramanya Iyer and Elakkumi (Lakshmi) Ammaal as "Subbayya" on December 11, 1882 in the Tamil village of Ettayapuram. He was educated at a local high school called "The M.D.T. Hindu College". From a very young age he learnt music and at 11, he was invited to a conference of Ettayapuram court poets and musicians for composing poems and songs. It was here that he was conferred the title of "Bharathi" Bharathi lost his mother at the age of 5 and his father at the age of 16., When Bharathi was 14 year old he married Chellamal.
After this early marriage, Bharathi, curious to see the outside world, left for Benares in 1898. The next four years of his life served as a passage of discovery. During this time he discovered a country in tumult outside his small hamlet. Bharathi worked as a teacher in Madurai Sethupathy High School (now a higher secondary school) and as a journal editor at various times in his life.
Bharathi joined as Assistant Editor of the Swadeshamitran, a Tamil daily in 1904. By April 1907, he started editing the Tamil weekly India and the English newspaper Bala Bharatham with M.P.T. Acharya. Bharathi started to publish his poems regularly in these editions. Bharathi participated in the historic Surat Congress in 1907, which deepened the divisions within the Indian National Congress between the militant wing led by Tilak and Aurobindo and the moderate wing. Bharathi supported Tilak and Aurobindo together with V. O. Chidambaram Pillai and Kanchi Varathaachariyar. Tilak openly supported armed resistance against the British.
In 1908, he gave evidence in the case which had been instituted by the British against V.O. Chidambaram Pillai. In the same year, the proprietor of the journal India was arrested in Madras. Faced with the prospect of arrest, Bharathi escaped to Pondicherry which was under French rule. From there he edited and published the weekly journal India, Vijaya, a Tamil daily, Bala Bharatha, an English monthly, and Suryothayam, a local weekly of Pondicherry. The British tried to suppress Bharathi's output by stopping remittances and letters to the papers. Both India and Vijaya were banned in British India in 1909.
Bharathi entered British India near Cuddalore in November 1918 and was promptly arrested. He was imprisoned in the Central prison in Cuddalore in custody for three weeks from 20 November to 14 December. The following year Bharathi met with Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi.
.Bharathi's health was badly affected by the imprisonments and by 1920, when a General Amnesty Order finally removed restrictions on his movements, Bharathi was already struggling. He was struck by an elephant at Parthasarathy temple, Thiruvallikeni, Chennai, whom he used to feed regularly. Although he survived the incident, a few months later his health deteriorated and he died on September 11, 1921. Though Bharathi was a people's poet there were only fourteen people to attend his funeral.
The last years of his life were spent in a house in Triplicane, Chennai This house was bought and renovated by the Government of Tamil Nadu in 1993 and named 'Bharathiyar illam' (Home of Bharathiyar).
Let us remember Barathi’s word that we will never rest, nor sleep and we will be truthful to our Mother country.

Sri.Thiagaraja Ramayanam [Aranyakandam] Tamil Speech by S.V.Ramani.
In Sri Thiagaraja Ramayana in Aranyakandam Thiagaraja told in his songs that Sabari waits eagerly for Rama's arrival for several years and offers him athithi satkaram. Even in our daily pooja, while weoffer naivedyam, we recite this sloka,
Sabari's atithyam is widely known and she is held in the highest regard.Is
it because Sabari is a great devotee of Rama.
Sabari was a tribal woman. Though she was illiterate, she staunchly
believed in her Acharya, Mathanga Maharshi, and served him with great
Devotion/commitment for several years. Before leaving for the Heavenly abode the Maharshi instructs Sabari to wait for Lord Rama and Lakshmana. Sabari believed in her Acharya's word and waited patiently for several years, alone in the Ashram, just to give athithyam to Rama for a day.
Aranya Kandam ends with Sabari's episode and the first sarga of next
Kandam (Kishkindha Kandam) includes the description of Pampa river and
Lord Rama's meeting with Hanumanwith Sraddha (Swamiji attaches lot of importance to Sraddha – the commitment) and automatically Perumal with the help of Acharya will rescueus -- just like He rescued Sita with the help of Hanuman.
Sri Thiagaraja describes Rama is an avatharam of Lord Srimannarayana; Rama was worshippedby his subjects not because he was the Lord, but because of his qualities.Lord Rama with his exemplary behaviour depicted to the world how one shouldbehave and react to adverse circumstances. In addition to the peripheralstoryline in Ramayanam one should understand
the underlying philosophic meaning of each episode and follow it as far
as possible to lead a "PERFECT LIFE". Let us all sing Rama’s name.
You can now hear the Tamil Speeches of S.V.Ramani thro “You Tube” about Sri.Thiagaraja Ramayana Aranyakandam.

Lord Mayuranathar of Mayiladuthurai [Tamil Nadu] Tamil speech by Myiladuthurai S.V.Ramani.
Mayuranathar Temple is located on the bank of River kauveri. According to the Hindu mythology, Annai Parasakthi danced in the form of a peacock and hence the place is called Mayiladuthurai. Devotees after worshipping Mayuranathar can travel from here to all the places of Navagrahas and other important temples by bus. The festival of Holy bath known as Kadai Muzhukku in the river Cauvery is celebrated in the month of Ippasi on the last day of the month. Near Mayiladuthurai, POOMBUHAR, NAGORE, VAITHEESWARANKOIL, TRANQUEBAR are the places of Interest to see.
Mayuram means peacock in sanskrit and it was later translated as Mayiladuthurai in tamil. Lot of sidhars have lived here. Even today we find an area called Sidharkaadu, a suburb of Mayuram. Legends also tell that it was a part of Tharukavanam. The legend goes that Daksha did not invite his daughter Parvati, and his son-in-law Lord Siva to the sacrifice he conducted. Being vexed at the disrespectful attitude of Daksha towards him, Lord Siva sent Veerabhadra, a minor deity, to go and desecrate the sacrifice conducted by Daksha. Lord Siva at the same time instructed Parvati Devi not to attend the yaga. However, the Devi attended the yaga, disobeying her Lord's prohibition. While Veerabhadra was desecrating the yaga, a peahen got injured and it immediately ran to Parvati Devi and took refuge under her. After everything was over, Parvati Devi repented very much for having disobeyed the Lord. To wash off the sin, she entered the fire. At the time of entering the fire, she was thinking about the peahen to which she gave refuge and so in the next birth she took the form of a peahen and came to this place. The Devi conducted penance for many years and at last attained re-union with Lord Siva. Hence the place came to be known as Mayuram or Mayavaram (Mayuram means peahen). The Lord of the temple came to be known as Mayuranatha. The other names by which this place is known are Sudavanam, Sikliandipuram, Brahmapuram, and Brahmavanam etc. The Devi is known as Abhayapradambika, Abhayambika, Anjalanayaki, Anjalai, etc., meaning one who gave refuge to the peahen.
Let us pray Mayuranathar and Abhayambikai and get their blessing for long and prosperous life.

Cine Actors and Government must combine to counter prostitution, and help rehabilitate of poor Girls. Tamil Speech by S.V.Ramani.
Prostitution is currently a contentious issue in India. In 2007. Quoting a study on 'Girls/Women in prostitution in India', Former Minister for Women and Child Development Renuka Chowdhury said that out of the total number of prostitutes in the country, 35.47 per cent entered the trade before the age of 18 years. The number of prostitutes has also doubled in the recent decade.
The Immoral Trafficking Prevention Act, 1956 ("ITPA"), the main statute dealing with sex work in India, does not criminalise prostitution or prostitutes per se, but mostly punishes acts by third parties facilitating prostitution like brothel keeping, living off earnings and procuring, even where sex work is not coerced.
We have to think over about the poor girls in Tamilnadu, who are compelled for prostitution due to their poverty and for their daily food. The Government and big cine Actors must adopt a declaration and approve a plan of action to counter the problem of prostitution, and protect Girl children's rights and help rehabilitate those who have been abused.

Whether prostitution can be allowed for Two times meals? Tamil Speech by S.V.Ramani.
The Press Club also condemned the arrest and urged the Government to intervene and order the release of Mr. Lenin News editor Dinamalar and sought action against film artistes, who had used filthy and abusive language against the media. One Actor told some ladies are doing the prostitution for the sake of two times of meals only.
MUJ General Secretary D Suresh Kumar, in a statement said, when the daily had published a clarification, expressing regret and it was made open to the film stars to move the court and seek the remedy, the police action was highly prejudiced and undemocratic.
DINAMALAR NEWS editor, B Lenin who was arrested for publishing an article that accused some of the top Tamil actors of being involved in a sex scandal has been granted bail on Friday (October 9). The charges against the scribe have not been dropped though he was granted bail by the court.
Lenin is expected to be released from a Chennai prison later in the day after the completion of formalities. A case under Section 4 of the Tamil Nadu Women Harassment (Prevention) act was registered against the Dinmalar scribe.
The Dinamalar editor has received strong support from the journalist fraternity in Chennai after he was arrested by the police on charges of defaming Tamil film actors. Madras Union of Journalists and Dinmalar employees had protested against his arrest and met the Chennai Commissioner of Police to lodge a complaint in this regard.
The journalists have demanded that an enquiry should have been undertaken before ordering his arrest. Actress Bhuvaneswari was arrested by police for running a high-profile brothel.
Lenin was arrested after a complaint was lodged by Radha Ravi, general secretary of the South India Film Artistes Association. He was accused of publishing a statement of Bhuvaneswari, which mentions several Tamil actors as part of a sex scandal.
We request the Chief Minister, that even though Lenin was released on Bail, the charges against Lenin may also be withdrawn immediately.

Sri Thiagaraja Ramayanam. Tamil Speech by S.V.Ramani.
Sri Thiagaraja Ramayana, the life history of Lord RAMA, is the world's most ancient epic. It describes an era of 4000 to 4500 years ago. The original Ramayana was written in Sanskrit, by saint VAKMIKI, and it is stated that the Saint Naradha told this epic Ramayana to Valmiki. Valmiki has confirmed this before narrating the birth of Sri Rama.
Sri Thiagaraja swamigal who personally seen Sri Rama and Lakshmana has described thro his poem the story of Ramayana from his birth to his return to his Kingdom Ayodhya after completing his fourteen years in exile in forest and fulfilled the promise made by his father, where his brother, Bharat as well as all citizens welcomed him and he became the King. I am now going to tell the story of Lord Rama as written by Sri Thiagaraja in his poems. I request all to pardon me if there are any mistakes in my speeches.
Rama was considered an incarnation of Vishnu and worshipped even during his life-time. His life was a living example of how an ideal human being should strive to be. Rama was an ideal son, an ideal student, an ideal soldier, an ideal husband, an ideal brother, an ideal citizen and finally, an ideal king. His whole life is treated as the domination of good over evil, both within and outside ourselves. His willingness to sacrifice worldly pleasures, material wealth and power for the values he cherished inspired all subsequent generations. His legacy has always remained and became part and parcel of the Indian civilization.
Every people in the world must read the story of Ramayana which is now available in all languages and follow the good principles like an ideal son and sincere husband and a moral Ruler for his citizens.
