The Date of the Mahabharata War; Abodes of Lord Muruga: Tiruttani

IndiaDivine.org
In "Vyasa and Valmiki" Sri Aurobindo refers to a "recent article of the Indian Review" on the date of the Mahabharata war praising it as "an unusually able and searching (or almost conclusive) paper". It was Velandai Gopala Aiyer's "The Date of the Mahabharata War" published in Vol. II, January-December 1901 of this monthly journal (Indian Review) edited by G.A.Natesan. Sri Aurobindo was obviously fully convinced by Aiyer's arguments, because elsewhere he writes, "It is now known beyond reasonable doubt that the Mahabharata war was fought out in or about 1190 B.C."
 
The beautiful temple of Lord Muruga at Tiruttani crowns a single rock 700 feet above sea level. It is situated amidst a range of hills with a dramatic panoramic view. This sacred place is on the Madras-Bombay route, 13 kilomters from Arkonam and 84 kilometers from Madras.

Around this town are famous religious places such as Kancheepuram (Banares of the South) on the South, Sholingar and Vallimalai on the West, the popular and renowned pilgrimage centre, Tirupati (otherwise called Balaji) and Kalahasti (with its Vayu Lingam) on the North and Tiruvalangadu (of puranic fame) with Lord Nataraja on the East.
