Dear all
The fools never stop professing their ignorance even if punched
again and again, with bleeding nose and pain all over the body.
Narayanasamy is rank#1. Apart from this rudimentary exposure of knowledge
so poor from a couple of people, who pretend, which though quoted already,
still fits in here: GANA MAYILADK KANDIRUNDHA VANKOZHI, THAANUM, ADIVAGAP
PAVITHU, THAN POLLA SIRAGAI VIRITHU…. Why at this age-old man? You are a
big zero I had proved so many times. Nunalum Than vayaal kedum- you are
example. Nunal means Frog. Now your great write up ( I don’t answer fools
paradise but because you want to pull me like the sparrow , calling the
king two ways.)
(1) which Hindu temples in Chennai, Madurai, Kaancheepuram, Kaashi,
Prayaagraj, Rishikesh, Haridwar, Kerala, have "RIVERS INSTALLED AND CARVED
IN THEIR ENTRANCES"?
KR Oldman, that is the question I asked Gopalkrishnan and why do you want
an answer from me; I know your vision and grasp is poor.
(2) what is the traceable authority for saying that samithaa-daanam can
be performed without agni?
KR A-K-M, I had written the evidence and again you have poor vision.
Read patiently; you have no knowledge, except a mere pretender.
(3) what is the traceable authority for saying that samithaa-daanam is
an environmental cleaning act?
KR M-P Oldman; Bhopal is an evidence.
(4) what is the traceable authority for saying that the ashes from
samithaa-daanam can be treated as vibhoothi to be applied on forehead,
throat, and shoulders, and not ashes from duly-burnt dry clean ,cow-dung?
KR again M-P , read Grhya sutra; your NO-KNOWLEDGE VADHYAR, (I CONFIRM 80%
OF THE VADHYARS INCLUDING YOU ARE ONLY FRAUD) ; if you want to learn from
me you have to come and stand before me with the folded hands and learn.
(5) what is the traceable authority for saying that the samithaa-daanam
agni "must be maintained wherever he (i.e. the brahmachaari) goes
including his education"?
KR M-P; again erring; I said Brahmachari cannot do it and so samitha
dhanam is not your Anyeshti agni.
(6) what is the traceable authority for saying that the
staaleepaakam/aupaasanam starts only on the evening of the marriage and is
not an essential ritual performed during the marriage when the bride pours
a double-handful of popped rice on to the hands of the groom and he pours
it over the homa-agni, while chanting the appropriate manthrams?
KR A-k-M, "starts" means, from then until ends only on death.
(7) what is the traceable authority for saying that "only Brahmin and an
Agnihotri was prevented from crossing the sea. And if one crossed the sea,
he may lose the right to be an Agnihotri"? Has not hypocritical
consistent liar and flagrant blaphemist K Rajaram ex-IRS 13124 crossed and
re-crossed the ocean when he went for jaunts in California and in Hawaii,
and thereby permanently and irreplaceably lost his right to call himself a
dvijan, let alone a Brahmin, let alone an agnihothri?
KR Mutta payale, only you are calling yourself on caste; none of us;
we are doing something that is all; and you are doing worse than us and yet
Bragg too much. Agnihotris today are a rare species. Vadhyars are supposed
to behave as taught to be a brahmin but they are vysyas as we are. You are
a vysya too. So do not raise your hoarse voice and pretend.
(8) what is the traceable authority for saying that a Brahmin and an
agnihothri cannot carry with him his agni when he crosses (and re-crosses)
the sea?
KR Only you have to say how will you do in flight?
(9) what is the traceable authority for saying that a woman is allowed
to do the aupaasanam by herself alone, and that she is also allowed to wear
a yagnyopaveetham?
KR AKM I had given it as told by Maha periyava; have you become
blind?
(10) exactly where did the late Kaanchi Mahaa-Periyavaal say that
shoodrans should perform the aupaasanam?
KR Nalla padida AKM
(11) what is the traceable authority for saying that "Aupaasanam is a
Vedic right that a woman is entitled to perform on her own"?
KR Again Padida AKM
My parting question: Does hypocritical consistent liar and flagrant
blaphemist K Rajaram ex-IRS 13124 intend to answer my eleven points above
serially and in full? Or, will he as usual flee with his tail tucked
between his canine legs (he has identified himself as NAYUNDA MAVEN born of
a common harlot) and will he scream, screech and shout abuses and insults
from his cracks and crevices in the sewers of the slums of Red Dogtown?
KR Muttal; even if you are blind and ignorant, I took pity only once on
you and replied; without evidence I do not write anything; you are that
type; you write as if you are Vyasa and call all ancestors are shudra and
you alone is the only,6 character Brahmin. Get lost in the gutter,
S Narayanaswamy Iyer……. I do not even wish to write my name next to you as
you are so mean 141 24

Dear folks
It is indeed curious and hypocritical that K Rajaram ex-IRS 13124 -- who
openly abused and insulted all vaadhyaars and all heads of mutts including
the late Kaanchi Kaamakoti Peetaathipathi Shree Chandrasekharendra
Sarasvathi Swaamigal, should now, in a public display of unfeigned
post-menstrual frustration, self-abnegation and self-condemnation, having
voluntarily denigrated and rejected all Brahmin practices such as the
prescribed samskaarams (including upanayanam, veda-adhyayanam,
samaavarththanam, vivaaham, sthaaleepaakam, garbha-daanam, seemanthoneeyam,
and pumsavanam) -- should now praise his erstwhile victim and whipping-boy
Sri Gopalakrishna, and *pretend to expound on subjects about which he is
not learned, is unqualified,is unschooled, and knows absolutely nothing.*
Let him now prove with concrete proof and with verifiable and credible
evidence the truth of what he alleges -- instead of following blindly, like
a goat led to the slaughter, the words of Sri Gopalakrishna:-
(1) which Hindu temples in Chennai, Madurai, Kaancheepuram, Kaashi,
Prayaagraj, Rishikesh, Haridwar, Kerala, have "RIVERS INSTALLED AND CARVED
IN THEIR ENTRANCES"?
(2) what is the traceable authority for saying that samithaa-daanam can
be performed without agni?
(3) what is the traceable authority for saying that samithaa-daanam is
an environmental cleaning act?
(4) what is the traceable authority for saying that the ashes from
samithaa-daanam can be treated as vibhoothi to be applied on forehead,
throat, and shoulders, and not ashes from duly-burnt dry clean ,cow-dung?
(5) what is the traceable authority for saying that the
samithaa-daanam agni "*must be maintained wherever he (i.e. the
brahmachaari) goes including his education"?*
(6) what is the traceable authority for saying that the
staaleepaakam/aupaasanam starts only on the evening of the marriage and is
not an essential ritual performed during the marriage when the bride pours
a double-handful of popped rice on to the hands of the groom and he pours
it over the homa-agni, while chanting the appropriate manthrams?
(7) what is the traceable authority for saying that "*only Brahmin and
an Agnihotri was prevented from crossing the sea. And if one crossed the
sea, he may lose the right to be an Agnihotri"*? Has not *hypocritical
consistent liar and flagrant blaphemist K Rajaram ex-IRS 13124 crossed and
re-crossed the ocean when he went for jaunts in California and in Hawaii,
and thereby permanently and irreplaceably lost his right to call himself a
dvijan, let alone a Brahmin, let alone an agnihothri?*
(8) what is the traceable authority for saying that a Brahmin and an
agnihothri cannot carry with him his agni when he crosses (and re-crosses)
the sea?
(9) what is the traceable authority for saying that a woman is allowed

serially and in full? Or, will he as usual flee with his tail tucked
between his canine legs (he has identified himself as NAYUNDA MAVEN born of
a common harlot) and will he scream, screech and shout abuses and insults
