International Cuisine Conference on Traditional Asian Diet Panaji, Goa, September 2-5, 2007 - http://www.indologygoa.in Online Media Partner: http://www.goanet.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dear Rajan It really hurt to see that empty space where a tree stood in splendid stature... ... we must find out who gave the permission, if it was asked at all... Your photo captures of the attacks on Goa are akin to a mirror that is badly needed by our land and its people.... Keep up the good work regards Pravin On 8/14/07, From: "Rajan P. Parrikar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [Goanet] Peepal tree killed at Mallikarjun Temple, Canacona Only July 10, 2007, I was at the Mallikarjun Temple in Gaondongrim, Canacona, and this was the sight at the time - http://www.parrikar.org/images/samples/mallikarjun-before.jpg Exactly a month later, on Aug 9, 2007, this - http://www.parrikar.org/images/samples/mallikarjun-after.jpg The knuckleheads of the temple committee decided to bring down the tree because it was "obstructing" (what exactly it was obstructing, no one could tell). This important temple has a hoary past. Oral tradition has it that the great philosopher Shankaracharya rested here in the course of his northerly travels. Warm regards, r Pravin K.
