    766 | 25 - வயதான தோஷந்தான் | பார்த்திபன் கனவு

    Visit: https://linktr.ee/kadhaineram In this episode, we step into the sacred halls of Kanchi, where the air is thick with the fragrance of incense and the echoes of the Bhakti movement. Princess Kundhavi, driven by her suspicion of a mysterious Shivanadiyar interfering in the empire’s politics, visits the legendary Saint Appar (Thirunavukkarasar). What follows is a classic study in perspectives. While Kundhavi searches for answers about a potential rebel, she finds a man entirely lost in the "Golden Hall" of Chidambaram. Highlights of this episode: The Rise of Bhakti: A glimpse into how Shaivism and Vaishnavism were flourishing in Tamil Nadu. The "Kunitha Puruvam" Verse: We discuss the profound beauty of Appar’s famous Devaram song describing the dancing Nataraja. The Meeting of Saints: Appar recounts his divine meeting with the "child of wisdom," Gnanasambandar. The Generation Gap: Kundhavi’s frustration; does she fail to see the saint's wisdom, or is Appar truly lost to the world due to his age? Cast of Characters: Princess Kundhavi: Calculating, royal, and increasingly restless. Saint Appar: Frail in body, but overflowing with spiritual vigor and poetic grace. Join me as we unravel this beautiful yet tense encounter where the divine meets the political. Is the Shivanadiyar Kundhavi is looking for under Appar’s nose, or is she chasing a ghost?

    Kicking off 2026 with a very special vintage tale! This is a story originally told by my grandfather to my father 70+ years ago, bringing old Madras back to life. We travel back in time to meet the legendary Dr. Rangachari, a medical genius known for his miraculous cures. In this episode, we recount the unbelievable case of a patient with a year-long headache. The diagnosis? Shocking. The cure? A bowl of water, a pinching sound, and... a frog? Tune in to hear how the Doctor performed this miracle, why he refused payment, and the incredible gift a car made of elephant tusk that the grateful patient returned with. A true blend of medical history and folklore on Kadhaineram.
