Gayatri Mantra Incorrect ?

Gayatri Mantra, I was asked earlier, seems to be incorrect, as it contained the 24 letters as it is known to contain.

I have written a detailed article on this and explained how this view is incorrect.

Now based on Sanskrit Grammar, both old and Classical, an article has appeared and has gained wide acceptability.

It states that the Gayatri Mantra, as is being practised to day violates the Chandas or loosely translated as Prosody.

Chandas is a Metre.

Gayatri is more of a Metre than mere mantra text.

References To Kannada In Tamil and Sanskrit

Tamil, unlike the Sanskrit Language does not have Phonetic differentiation for Alphabets.

Tamil has Alphabets dispenses with this and Tamil Grammar ,dating back to at least 5000 years, has unique system to replace the Phonetic content as displayed in Sanskrit.

Kannada follows the Sanskrit Grammar patters.

But words resemble ancient chaste Tamil words of yore.

'Oota' means Food in Kannada.

In ancient Tamil,'Oottam' means nourishment.

'Angai' denotes palms in Kannada which is the purest word meaning the same in Tamil-of course this word is scarcely used now.

It may be noted that some Pallava Kings Mahendravarman and Narasimhavarman are reported to know the language of Pulakesin II.
