  2. In the first photo, on right side corner, is it Sri Narayana Sastrigal of West Mambalam near Ayodhya Mandapam?

  3. I had a rare opportunity to meet Mettur Swamigal at Govindapuram. I had been to samaveda patasala at Thiruvenkadu and the Ganapadigal there asked me to have the dharsan of Mettur Swamigal on my way to my home town viz., coimbatore. I was totally stunned to see the Swamigal. He was extremely lean and almost akin to a thandam wearing a kavi vesti. He accepted the fruits given by me and went to his room. I was disappointed that I could not talk to him. But he came back and started talking on our country. He was very clear that out of the three enemies we are facing, the most dangerous is westernisation of India resulting in destruction of our culture. He said we have to immediately fight against this atrocious total westernisation. He said we can withstand conversion done by christians and Muslim attacks. His words are still ringing in my ears. He also advised to read at least one page of Deivathin Kural everyday.
