Kannadasan Meenakshi Kungumam

Recently we were driving down to Hyderabad from Bangalore.

My son was listening to new film songs,Tamil,Hindi and English.

When we started playing old Tamil songs ,my son likes them too,there was this line from the Tamil Song, ‘Aagayap Pandalile Oorkolam Pohuthamma’,

‘Meenavin Kungumaththai Naanaalavendumamma’

The song is between the lovers.

The lady says ’May I be Blessed with/rule the Kum Kum or Kungumam of Goddess Meenakshi’

What is conveyed is that ‘my husband Be Blessed with long life’

Here why does the poet say ( I would not Kannadasan a Lyricist, he is a Poet) the way he says it?

My son remarked that Kannadaasn is obsessed with Meenakshi.

I agree.

Yes , Kannadasan is obsessed with Goddess Meenakshi, Madurai.

The first reason is that as a Nattukkottai Nagarathar, as his community is,he is attached to Meenakshi and Umayal.

One may find these names among the women folk of the Nattukkottai Nagaraththaar.

Another reason is that there is something significant about Meenakshi, more specifically about her Kum Kum.

Kannadasan penned these lines as well.

‘Vannath Theroodum Veedhiyile Oorkolam Pohuthayya Sevvazhaip Pandhalile Lakshmi Kalyaanam’(Film Lakshmi kalyaanam)

“Ammuru Meenavaippaarthaalu Ava Kanuukku Varuthamadi’(Savale Samai’-Ammuru is a slang widely used for Nammuru, Our Town in Old Ramanathapuram District, especially among thr Nagarathaar Community)

‘Kungumam, Mangala Mangayar Kungumam(film Kungumum), to quote a few.

Lord Shiva is regarded as the One who is never born.

Goddess Kali ‘As Screaming Satisfied Vagina’ Video

.The AFP put out a Story, Walk-in Vagina, Kindles anger, approval in South Africa' three days ago.

It was picked up Hypervocal and other sites as well.

There is implication that it represents Goddess kali of Hinduism, though the woman who is reported to have designed the whole thing does not say so in the Video.

She says .' it is the voice from Space from a Satisfied woman'( Probably she checked it and knows what screaming at Sex is all about!

She has Indian sounding Name and she says The Vagina expresses the world and is Sacred and empowers a woman!

She is right , as per the Tantra Shastra, as for as Shakti Worship is concerned.

But the feeling one gets it is that this is a cheap Publicity stunt.

It shows the mentality of people who think below the navel or do they think from below?

Kali is the Goddess of Roudra or Righteous Rage ,not sexual satisfaction
