[edit] Origin of Sampooranathevan

Raja, seems to me that the article needs a better introduction, one that leads the reader naturally into the mythical life of Sampooranathevan. I suggest some sort of "birth" or "creation" account to explain Sampooranathevan's orgins. Is that possible? Steven McCrary 14:04, September 10, 2005 (UTC)

Steve, your's is a good suggestion. But in Akilam nothing more about Sampooranathevan was found. But simply mentioned him as a deva of that particular loga. Not only in this, in many cases, in Akilattirattu Ammanai simply the character is introduced with only a simple introduction. If any one needs history about such character he needs to refer Hindu mythology.

For example in case of Punal Rishi, Akilam says that he took the venneesan and brought him up. No other details of Punal Rishi was provided. And when we see about him in Hindu mythology (Siva Siddantha) he had a strong background. But this particular Venneesan does not come in hindu mythology. Likewise the Roma Rishi , Agastiya (In Ayyavazhi Agatheesar), Kalaikkottu Muni, Idaikkadar etc... Ayyavazhi has it's relationship with Hinduism as that of Judaism and Christianity. Many events and concepts of Hinduism were rejected, some were regenerated, some were accepted and some were totally condemned. But many characters in Hinduism came in Ayyavazhi. And in the case of Sampooranathevan I think, (not sure) there are chances for the available of this character in Hindu mythology. Because when ever the introduction and background of a character in Akilattirattu is too small it is to be searched in Hindu texts. That is the basic principle followed by some followers of Ayyavazhi. - வைகுண்ட & ராஜா

This sentence does not "parse" well, I suggest major revision or deletion, especially since the links go no where. Steven McCrary 14:06, September 10, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] too many links

These are good articles, fascinating reading. But too many links are included. Links first of all have to connect to something: you will discourage your readers if you provide links which are only dead-ends. Then too don't link to general concepts like soul or God etc.: the general definitions provided there already are known by your readers and do not help the understanding of the article. I'd suggest linking only to names and concepts which are likely to be unfamiliar, always being sure that there is something at the other end to which to link.
