I am Shanta Somasundaram, born in 1944 in Sri Lanka, obtained engineering degree in Japan, migrated to Singapore and then Canada. I am retired now and live in both Canada and Singapore. My paternal great grand father was the adminstrator of the மாவிட்டபுரம் கந்தசுவாமி Temple (on Facebook) but owing to a decision made by his son - my grand father - the descendants like me turned out to be Christians. The deep interest in my Hindu roots took me for the first time to the temple in August 2012 when I met the குருக்கள் of the temple who had recellection of my great grand father.
In 2014 I hope to make my first visit to India for 2-3 weeks and make my way to Dhanushkodi with camera and notebook. I have written about it in a separate thread.
Best regards too fellow members.
