‛Governor R.N.Ravi is doing stupid things. Does he know Tamil? Speaker Suki Sivam has said that because he is speaking beyond the bounds, I will slap him like a whip. He has explained why Tiruvalluvar should not be dressed in saffron.
R.N.Ravi is working as the Governor of Tamil Nadu. He is participating in various programs. At this time he is talking about Sanatana Dharma. And his comments about Thiruvalluvar have been stirring up debate from time to time.
Thiruvalluvar Day was recently celebrated by the Governor’s House. Thiruvalluvar was dressed in saffron in the invitation.
And in the press release issued by the Governor’s House, RN Ravi said, “On Thiruvalluvar Day, I pay my humble respect to Thiruvalluvar, a great philosopher born in our spiritual land of Tamil Nadu, a great philosopher and a bright saint of Bharatiya Sanatana tradition. This also sparked a debate.
In this context, in an interview given by speaker Suki Shivam to a private YouTube channel, he strongly objected to Governor RN Ravi wearing a saffron dress to Thiruvalluvar. When Suki Sivam, known as “Chol Vendar”, is a Hindu religious speaker and writer, why should Thiruvalluvar not be dressed in saffron? He has also explained that. Suki Sivam said in this regard:
The Governor does some mischief. I’ll point that out. Do not put saffron on Thiruvalluvar. He is a homebody. How can you wear saffron clothes for your house? He (Governor RN Ravi) does what he feels like. Does he know Tamil? Can we talk about analogy? Does Ravi know about Caldwell analogy? He speaks out of bounds. So I spank him.
At this time, the presenter said, You are looking beautiful in white clothes for Thiruvalluvar. He wears saffron clothes and looks beautiful.'' Suki Shivam replied,
Wrong sir. They have a respect for them. He (Thiruvalluvar) is a householder. One should buy saffron only after abdication. He (RN Ravi) is changing the Hindu tradition itself. Is there a reference anywhere that Thiruvalluvar took Sannyasam?” he questioned.
To this, the presenter questioned, Is there a reference that Thiruvalluvar wore white clothes?'' Suki Sivam replied,
He was in Thiruvalluvar household. His philosophy was “virtue is not life”.
Agrees to live in Tiruvalluvar. No ascetic. Would he have sung Kamathuppal if he had accepted austerity? Thiruvalluvar converted. He is a converted spiritualist who has gone to all religions. Why do you grab the man who went above and pull him down and bring him into a religion?” he said.
